{
Dear Mr. deKrafft:
i i
! Thank you for your letter of January 18, 1997, to Mr. Robert E. Trojanowski of I
i my staff, in which you indicated that the Virginia Radiation Advisory Board expressed some level of interest with regard to the Commonwealth's .
- participation in the NRC Agreement State Program.
As requested, Enclosure 1 provides a current listing of NRC licensees in the Commonwealth, to include medical use licensees. Enclosure 2 is an index of l
i material license program codes which can be used as a cross reference check I j not only to identify the medical use licensees, but also to determine
- specifically the nature of the activity allowed by the license, For planning purposes, you also inquired about the dollar amount in fees typically collected from these licensees on an annual basis, During FY 1996, i 1.e., October 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996, the Commission collected i
$3,449,700.00 from 10 CFR Part 171 licensees. and $51,680.00 from 10 CFR Part 170 licensees, for an overall total of $3,501,380,00. Please note that i these fee monies do not include any fees which the Commission would have !
collected from those licensee which would not be transferred to the State i
- under a Subsection 374b Agreement of the Atomic Energy Act, which would include Federal licensees, commercial nuclear reactor facilities, research i reactors, and production facilities such as fuel processing or fabrication i facilities.

The schedule for conducting each regional or Agreement State visit will be developed by the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) and the Office of State Programs (OSP) in coordination with the regions and States.
Approximately 10 to 12 reviews will be scheduled in most years. Under

Part II 1
Performance Indicators General (A)
A description of the performance indicators to be evaluated for each region and each Agreement State is given in (B) of this part. The evaluation criteria (i.e., performance standards) against which these indicators are to be assessed are described in Part III of this handbook.
These reviews determine program adequacy and compatibility in the Agreement States and are instrumental in improving State and NRC
'me regional performance, thus ultimately leading to improved licensee performance. (1)
The performance indicators should be used as a starting point of inquiry. This, in turn, should lead program evaluators to a more careful examination of the underlying conditions, or root causes, of potential problem areas. Evaluators may find correlations exists between two or more performance indicators. In this situation, the impact of individual performance symptoms could be compounded when combined with others. Conversely, a regulatory program measured as potentially weak against one particular indicator, ,
nonetheless, could be rated as strong overail if there are sufficient mitigating factors with respect to other indicators. (2)
Certain non-reactor functions that continue to be conducted from NRC headquarters, such as fuel cycle licensing, uranium and thorium milling, sealed source and device reviews, low-level radioactive waste disposal liceusing, and safeguards activities are excluded from this set ofindicators because they are not common to regional and Agreement State activities. These may be incorporated, as appropriate, as noncommon indicators contributing to a performance-based evaluation of a program. (3)

Handbook 5.6 Part II General (A)(continued)
For Agreement States, the noncommon indicators will be legislative and legal authority, compatibility, uranium and thorium milling, sealed source and device reviews, and Icw-1: vel radioactive waste disposallicensing. (4)
This exclusion does not prohibit the Office of Nuclear Material Safety ,
and Safeguards (NMSS) and the Office of State Progm:m (OSP) from using other indicators and/or performance standards to supplement those described in this directive. (5) l 4
Programmatic Indicators (s)
Performance Indicator 1-Status of Materials Inspection Program (1) l i
Periodic inspections oflicensed operations are essential to ensure that activities are being conducted in compliance with regulatory requirements and consistent with good safety practices. The frequency i 1
. of inspections is specified in the NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 2800, and is dependent on the amount and the kind of materirJ, the &i T
type of operation licensed, and the results of previous mspecnons. l There must be a capability for maintaining and retrieving statistical i data on the status of the compliance program. Information regarding l the number of overdue inspections is a significant measure of the l I
status of an Agreement State's or NRC region's materials inspection program, although reviews also should examine specific cases where the inspection frequency has been significantly exceeded (i.e., by more ;
than 100 percent). The terms " materials inspection" and " overdue inspection" are defined in the Glossary to this handbook.
Performance Indicator 2-Technical Staffing and Training (2)
The ability to conduct effective licensing and inspection programs is largely dependent on having a sufficient number of experienced, knowledgeable, well-trained technical personnel. Under certain conditions, staff turnover could have an adverse effect on the implementation of these programs; thus it could affect public health and safety. (a)
For this performance indicator, qualitative as well as quantitative measures must be considered. In particular, the reason for apparent trends in staffing must be explored. Is the rate of turnover and be O

(continued) degree of understaffing symptomatic of a chronic problem or is it i merely a short-term phenomenon? Whyis turnover high? What steps are being taken to address this? What effect is it having on other performance indicators? (b)
Review of staffing also requires a consideration and evaluation of the 4 levels of training and quali5 cation of the technical staff. New hirees need to be technically qualified. Professional staff normally should ii have bachelor's degrees or equivalent training in the physical and/or life sciences. Training requirements for NRC inspectors are specified in the NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 1245, and for NRC materials licensing reviewers, in the NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 1246.
The requirements include a combination of classroom requirements n and practical on-the-job training. Some NRC regions impose i
(j additional requirements on certain license reviewers or inspectors, depending on their individual responsibilities and the types oflicenses they review and/or inspect. (c)
, In addition, the qualification process for NRC materials program inspectors includes demonstration of knowledge of relevant sections of the Code of Federal Regulations, completion of a quali6 cations journal, and appearance before a qualification board. Although Agreement States need not follow the NRC Inspection Manual, Chapters 1245 and 1246, they should have a program for training and qualification of personnel, and it should be adhered to in Agreement State programs.The evaluation standard measures the overall quality of training available to, and taken by, materials program
- personnel. (d)
Performance Indicator 3-Technical Quality of Licensing Actions (3)
An acceptable program for licensing radioactive material includes preparation and use of internal licensing guides and policy memoranda to ensure technical qualityin the licensing program (when appropriate, NRC guidance may be used); prelicensing inspection of
. complex facilities; and supervisory review, when appropriate. (a)

(continued)
His performance indicator evaluates the technical quality of the licensing program on the basis of an in-depth onsite review of a representative cross-section of licensing action for various types of . I licenses. Technical quality includes not only the review of completed actions, but also an examination of any renewals that have been '
pending for more than a year because the failure to act on such requests may have health and safety implications. To the extent ,
possible, the onsite review also should capture a representative cross-section as completed by each of the reviewers in the region or State.(b)
F Performance Indicator 4-Technical Quality ofInspections (4) -
This performance indicator provides the qualitative balance to l Performance Indicator 1, which looks at the status of the. inspection I prcgram on a quantitative basis. Review team members will accompany a sampling of inspectors at different types of licensed faci!ities to evaluate the knowledge and capabilities of regional and Agreement State inspectors. These accompaniments will usually occur i at a time other than the onsite review of the region or Agreement State to afford the review team sufficient time to observe inspectors at different types oflicensee facilities. These reviews focus on the scope, completeness, and technical accuracy of completed inspections and related documentation. Review teams will conduct in-depth, onsite reviews of a cross-section of completed inspection reports performed by different inspectors. In addition, review teams will verify that supervisors generally accompany inspectors on an annual basis to provide management quality assurance.
Performance Indicator 5-Response to Incidents and Allegations (5)
The quality, thoroughness, and timeliness of the NRC or Agreement State response to incidents, alleged incidents, and other allegations of safety concerns can have a direct bearing on public health and safety.
A careful assessment ofincident response and allegation investigation procedures, actual implementation of these procedures, internal and external coordination, and investigative and followup procedures will be a significant indicator of the overall quality of the program.

- Evaluation Criteria
! NRC regions and Agreement States will be evaluated in their ability to
- conduct effective licensing and inspection programs using the performance indicators described in Part II of this handbook. The evaluation criteria for each performance indicator are given below.
Indicator 1-Status of Materials :
Inspection Program (A)
Satisfactory (1) -
e Core licensees (those with inspection frequencies of 3 years or less) 4 are inspected at regular intervals in accordance with frequencies prescribed in NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 2800. (a) t d
. Deviations from these schedules are normally coordinated between working staff and management. Deviations are generally the result of joint decisions that consider the risk of licensee operation, past licensee performance, and the need to temporarily defer the inspection (s) to address more urgent or more critical priorities. (b)
- There is clear evidence of an organized "get-well" plan to reschedule any missed or deferred inspections. (c) e Inspections of new licensees are generally conducted within 6 months of license approval, or in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 2800, S.:ction 04-03, for those new licensees not possessing licensed material. (d) e A large majority of the inspection findings are communicated to licensees in a timely manner (30 calendar days as specified in NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 0610-10).

Findings for Agreement .
l State ProgralnS (s)
Finding 1-Adequate to Protect Public Health and Safety ami Compatible (1) e If NRC staff find that a State program has met all the Agreement State program review criteria or that only minor deficiencies exist, the Commission will find that the State's program is adequate to protect the public health and safety. (a) e If the NRC determines that a State program contains all required NRC program elements for compatibility, or only minor discrepancies exist, the program will be found compatible. (b) g Finding 2-Adequate to Protect Public Health and Safety and Not Compatible (2) e If NRC finds that a State program has met all the Agreement State program review criteria or that only minor deficiencies exist, the Commission will find that the State's program is adequate to protect the public health and safety. (a) e If NRC determines that a State has failed to adopt a necessaryitem of compatibility within the period of time specified by implementing procedures for NRC's companbility policy statement (i.e., more than minor compatibility discrepancies), the program would be found not compatible. (b)
Finding 3-Adequate, But Needs Improvement and/or Not Compatible (3) e If NRC Snds that a State's program protects public health and safety, but is deficient in meeting some of the review criteria, NRC may find that the State's program is adequate, but needs improvement.

Handbook.5.6 Glossary Glossary ,
It is necessary to note that some Agreement States or NRC regions may not define these terms identically. In such cases, the review team will highlight any differences in its review, but draw its conclusions and make its assessments on the basis of the definitions used by that State or region at the time of the review.
Allegation. A declaration, statement, or assertion of impropriety or .
l inadequacy associated with regulated activities, the validity of which .
has not been established. This term includes all concerns identified by source: such as the media, individuals, or organizations, and tecimical audit efforts from Federal, State, or local government of6ces regarding activities at a licensee's site. Excluded from this definition are matters being handled by more formal processes such as g
10 CFR 2.206 petitions, hearing boards, appeal boards, and so forth.
Incident. An event that may have caused or threatens to cause conditions described in 10 CFR 20.2202 (old 20.403),10 CFR 30.50, 10 CFR 40.60,10 CFR 70.50, or the equivalent State regulations.
Materials Inspection. The definitions in 10 CFR 1703, and in NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 2800, Sections 03.03 and 07.01, should be used to determine what constitutes an inspection. In addition, Agreement State hand-delivery of new licenses may constitute initial inspections. The term includes both routinely scheduled and reactive inspections.
Materials Licensing Action. Reviews of applications for new byproduct materials licenses, license amendments, renewals, and license terminations.
. Overdue Inspections. Currently, NRC de6nes this term based on guidance in NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 2800, especially Sections 04.03 (a) and 05.01 through 05.04. Many States use different definitions. For purposes of this directive, a materials license will be considered overdue for inspection in the following cases:

Glossary (continued) 1
- A new licensee that possesses licensed material has not been ;
inspected within 6 months of receipt of licensed material, I within 6 months of beginning licensed activities, or within 12 months of license issuance, whichever comes first.
- An existing core license is more than 25 percent beyond the interval de5ned in NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 2800, Enclosure 1. An existing non-core license is more than 1 year beyond the interval. (An inspection will not be considered l overdue if the inspection frequency has been extended in i accordance with NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 2800, Section 05.01, based on good licensee performance.
Determinations of overdue inspections will not be based on any . i inspection frequencies established by States or regions if those frequencies are more stringent than those contained in NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 2800. The frequencies provided in
/ NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 2800, will generally be used
(],/ as the yardstick for determining if an inspection is overdue. l 9 19 Approved: September 12,1995

l 1. To obtain Comission approval of the proposed changes to the Policy Statement on Principles and Policy for the Agreement State Program and proposed implementing procedures for phasing of new agreements.
O 2. To provide the Comission the Report of the Joint NRC-Agreement State Working Group for Development of Implementing Procedures for the Final Policy Statement on Adequacy ar.d Compatibility of Agreement State Programs (Working Group), which includes proposed implementing procedures and recommended revisions to the Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs.
- 3. To inform the Comission of the staff's proposed process and schedule to finalize the proposed implementing procedures for the Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs and to finalize proposed revisions to the policy ~ statement.
Backaround:
By Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) dated June 29, 1995 (SECY-95-112; SECY-95-115), the Commission approved two policy statements: the Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs and the Statement of Principles and Policy for the Agreement State Program. The Commission, however, deferred implementation of the policy statements until Contacts: NOTE: TO BE MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE WHEN THE Paul Lohaus, OSP FINAL SRM IS MADE AVAILABLE 415-2326 Cardelia H.

staff to complete such procedures and to provide the procedures to the ,
i Commission, along with any changes to the policy statements which may be l
! required to reflect the implementing procedures. ;
l Discussion:
- A. Statement of Principles and Policy for the Agreement State Program j and Related Procedures 4
j SECY-95-115, dated May 5, 1995, transmitted for Commission approval the i subject policy statement and the " Procedures for Suspension and Termination i of an Agreement State Program." The June 29, 1995 SRM provided Commission
{ comments on the policy statement. The SRM also directed staff to develop j' procedures for placing an Agreement State in probationary status and for implementing the phase-in of a new Agreement State program.
! The Statement of Principles and Policy for the Agreement State Program has
- been modified as directed by the Commission. Further revisions were made j to ensure consistency with the revised Policy Statement on Adequacy and i Compatibility of Agreement State Programs. Additions and deletions are shown in line-in/line-out text (See pages 34-56 of Attachment A). The appendices for the procedures for emergency suspension, suspension, and termination were completed and the procedures were transmitted to the Commission by memorandum from James M. Taylor dated April 25, 1996. The procedure for placing an l Agreement State in probationary status was transmitted to the Commission by memorandum from James M. Taylor dated July 3, 1996. The draft Management Directive 5.8, " Proposed 274b Agreements with States," which contains a standard agreement and a protocol for phased implementation of a new Agreement !
State program, has received office concurrence and is contained in Attachment B. After Commission approval, the staff will request comments on the draft Management Directive 5.8 from Agreement States. Staff will analyze comments received on the Management Directive, revise the directive as appropriate, and develop a proposed final directive. The propos.ed final directive will be submitted for Commission approval. A Federal Reaister Notice to publish, upon Consnission approval, the final " Statement of
. Principles and Policy for the Agreement State Program" is contained in Attachment A.
i B. Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs Because of the need to have Agreement State perspectives, and the extent of work required in development of implementing procedures for the " Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Progran;s," staff convened a Working Group of NRC and Agreement State staff to develop implementing procedures for this policy . statement. The Working Group completed its activities and provided a letter and report to the Director, O Office of State Programs, dated August 21, 1996 (Attachment C).
r- :
O The Commissioners -
The report describes the makeup of the Working Group, describes the process followed in developing the proposed implementing procedures and provides a set of preposed implementing procedures. Attachments to the report include:
- 1. The Working Group Charter (Attachment 1);
- 2. Revisions Recommended to the Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs (Attachment 2); and
- 3. Proposed implementing proceduru The implementing procedures i consist of
- a. A new Management Directive 5.9, "Acaquacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs," and Handbook 5.9, " Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs" (Attachments 3 and 4); and
- b. A revision (Revision 1) to OSP Internal Procedure B.7,
" Criteria for Compatibility Determinations," (B.7), which
- has been retitled " Compatibility and Health and Safety Component Clarsifications for NRC Regulations and Program Elements" (Attachment 5).
' The Working Group also prepared and attached to its August 21, 1996 letter, a second set of the proposed compatibility and health and safety component classification tables set out in the B.7 procedure. This second set of tables compares the classifications assigned by the Working Group under the proposed final Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs to the classifications previously assigned under current procedures.
The second set of tables is also contained in Attachment C and follows the Working Group report. The Working Group recommends that the final revision to the B.7 procedure not include the second set of tables. The Working Group report, Section 7.0, also contains a tabulation of the number of regulations required under the proposed final policy statement compared to the number required under current procedures.
Management Directive 5.9 and its associated Handbook 5.9 provide guidance to staff on how to apply the policy statement in making a determination on whether an NRC regulation or program element is required in an Agreement State program for purposes of compatibility or health and safety. The criteria and process described in the Management Directive were developed and applied by the Working Group in making compatibility component determinations for each current NRC requirement in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and major program element that are applicable to the regulation of Agreement materials (byproduct, source and small quantities of special nuclear materials). The same criteria and process would be applied by staff in making determinations for future regulations and program elements. The revision to O the B.7 procedure consists of a set of tables which identifies the d compatibility or health and safety component classification for each NRC rule, W
2 i
1 n s r l The Commissioners i
?
effective as of July 31, 1996, and each major program element. A separate l
- table has been prepared for each part of 10 CFR that is applicable to agreement materials. The table contains component classifications for each j section or paragraph of the part.
As a result of its delikrations, the Working Group did identify some i portions of the Pclicy Statemant on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement !
- State Programs that need c.larification to reflect the implementing procedures.
A proposed final policy statement is attached to the report which contains
! suggested revisions in line-in/line-out text necessary to reflect these !
i clarifications (Attachment 2 to the Working Group report). j Further, in response to the June 29, 1995 SRM, the language of the Policy i Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs was modified in those cases where the language stipulated a " requirement" as
!" opposed to " guidance" (e.g. the term "should" was used in place of "must"). )
The policy statement does not establish requirements, but rather establishes
! the framework and guidance on the type of requirements and program elements
- which should be addressed in Agreement State programs for compatibility and
. health and safety. Whether an Agreement State has adequately adopted i regulations and program elements identified as necessary by Management j ' Directive.5.9 and the B.7 procedure will be determined by the NRC staff on an
- ongoing. basis as Agreement States promulgate regulations and program elements.
i The broadar Agreement State program adequacy and compatibility finding will be
- determined through the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program a (IMPEP) review process as documented in Management Directive 5.6. The Working l Group also incorporated the clarifying footnote suggested in Commissioner Rogers' vote sheet.
l In addition, the Working Group identified three significant issues related
. to the Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State i I
! Programs regarding: (1) the definition of the terms " adequacy" and
] " compatibility;" (2) whether the Commission should require Agreement States to adopt certain regulations for the purposes of health and safety, in addition to those required for compatibility; and (3) whether Agreement States i
- should adopt certain legally binding requirements by regulation. The Working l l
Group also identified several other less significant issues associated with the implementing procedures, or their use, which are identified and described in the report and proposed Handbook 5.9. Each of the three major issues is discussed below.
- 1. Clarifying the Distinction Between the Terms " Adequacy" and
" Compatibility" The Working Group recognized that the terms " adequacy" and
" compatibility" have distinct meanings and concluded that the terms should be clarified in the final policy statement. The term " adequacy" refers to protection of public health and safety within a particular State. This capresents the core goal or purpose of any Agreement State's radiation protection program.
4
, s .
j c- ,
The Commissioners 1 l' " Compatibility," on the other hand, relates to the effects that an Agreement State's program actions or inactions will have outside of that Agreement State, such as impacts on other States
! or on the regulation of agreement material on a national basis.
l ,
Given this approach, all rules required for compatibility have some significant implication outside of an individual Agreement State.
The distinction between the two terms was described explicitly in the draft policy statement (59 FR 37269, July 21, 1994). l While the final policy statement does not contain an explicit 1 j description of this distinction, it is clearly implied by the i policy statement's structure. The Working Group added draft
! language to the proposed final pglicy statement to clarify the distinction discussed here. I i
! .2. Regulations Required for the Purposes of Health and Safety l
l' The Working Group identified certain regulations that have safety l
! significance with respect to regulation of agreement material ;
within a particular State but, at the same time, are not needed i
^
for the purposes of compatibility. The policy statement, as
- written, does not indicate explicitly that specific regulations ,
- will be required for reasons of health and safety. In identifying '
j . these regulations, the Working Group sought to determine whether j the absence of such a requirement would have the potential to j result directly in exposure to an individual in excess of the
! basic radiation protection standards required for compatible
} regulations under component 1, as described in the proposed final policy statement. These regulations have been identified for the ,
, Consnission's consideration. If imposed on the Agreement States, l such rules would be required for the purposes of health and safety. The Working Group has also suggested changes to the policy statement as a result of its consideration of this issue. )
I 3. Legally Binding Requirements i One issue addressed by the Working Group relates to the degree of !
- flexibility afforded an Agreement State in the method followed ;
within that State to implement legally binding requirements. It ;
l' deals with the question of whether there are certain requirements, such as Part 20, which apply to all licensees and thus, should be
- adopted by a State as a regulation, as opposed to adoption through another form of legally binding requirement, such as a license condition or order. It also relates to whether a State should be j required to adopt legally binding requirements by regulation, as i j opposed to an alternative method, when the State has more than one j (or only a few) licenses that would be subject to that )
- requirement. .

The Commissioners ,
lL 1
! The Office of the General Counsel has advised the staff that the
! Commission does not have statutory authority to require States to i adopt legally binding requirements specifically by rule. States !
l j must be provided the flexibility to adopt generic requirements by 1 rulemaking or other legally binding mechanisms applicable to
- groups of licensees. The staff will revise the policy statement and Management Directive 5.9, as drafted by the Working Group, to I reflect this legal position. I
- The Working Group requested peer review of selected draft working group
? products by limited staff in the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) and three Agreement itates. Coments resulting from the
- peer review were considered and reflected in Working Group products. One comment resulting from review by the Agreement States was that the l
implementing procedures should be made available for review and coment by
- all Agreement States before final Comission approval and issuance of the i
- final Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State .
l Programs and final implementing procedures. The Working Group agreed with {
this comment and recommended that the Working Group report be provided to the l Agreement States for review and coment. Staff provided copies of the report i to the Agreement States for their review and coment by letter dated August 23, 1996. Staff requested coments by November 8,1996. On August 23, l
1 1996, copies of the report were also provided to !.ey NRC Offices (NMSS, OGC, 3
AEOD and RES) for review and comment. Preliminary review by these offices has
. identified no significant comments. A number of refinements and revisions to
' the rule tables set out in draft. Internal Procedure B.7, Revision 1, have been suggested. These comments, along with any additional NRC office coments, and
- Agreement State comments received by November 8, 1996 will be addressed and j incorporated into the proposed final implementing procedure, and proposed
- revisions to the policy statement, as appropriate.
i i In addition, during September, 1996, the staff provided the Working Group
- report to other stakeholders, who had been invited to serve as panelists at an November 1994 public workshop, "NRC Workshop
- Proposed New Policy l
i Statement on the Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs."
i Staff also published a notice of availability of the Working Group report in ,
the Federal Reaister on September 19, 1996 (61 FR 49357). Any coments received from other stakeholders will also be addressed and incorporated, as appropriate.
Coordination:
The Office of the General Counsel has no legal objection to this paper.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background On August 25, 1993, the Commission requested the NRC staff to recommend improvements to the NRC's Agreement State Program to assure adequate protection of the public health and safety.
The draft Policy Statement was published in the Federal Register on August 5, 1994 (59 FR 40058). At the Comission's request, the public coment period, scheduled to end on October 4, 1994, was extended to December 19, 1994 (59 FR 52316). In response to the solicitation of public coments, fifteen coment letters were received. The considerations of the comments received are addressed in Section II of this Notice. This Policy Statement responds to the Comission's request regarding, " improvements in guidance and principles of operations for the Agreement State Program." The Policy Statement will provide broad guidance in delineating the NRC's and the State's respective responsibilities and expectations.
The final Policy Statement has been prepared based on the consideration of the public coments as well as other activities and issues before the Comission, e.g. the Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility, issues 2
i s l
4
! l p
discussed at public briefings of the Comission by the Organization of ;
l Agreement States (OAS), and the Commission's deliberations on the Integrated l Materials Performance Evaluation Program. The summary of public comments f
addresses the comments by categories which, for the most part, follow the l i sections in the Policy Statement.
{
- The staff addressed the comments with relatively few modifications to
- the Policy Statement. A number of comments were more applicable to the Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs and are addressed in the evaluation of public comments on that Policy Statement. Some
- comments were extraneous to the subject of the Policy Statement. Other comments dealt with issues better addressed in guidance and implementation 1 procedures.
l0 j This Policy Statement is intended solely as guidance for the Commission and the Agreement States in the implementation of the Agreement States l program. This Policy Statement does not itself impose legally binding requirements on the Agreement States. In addition, nothing in this Policy Statement expands the legal authority of Agreement States beyond that already granted to them by Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act and other relevant legal authority. Implementation procedures adopted pursuant to this Policy Statement shall be consistent with the legal authorities of the Commission and the Agreement States.

II. Summary of Public Comments O
Fifteen comment letters were received regarding the draft Statement of Principles and Policy for the Agreement State Program (Policy Statement).
Four of the letters were from Agreement States, five from members of the licensee community, two from public interest groups, three from associations, and one from a private citizen. In general, most commenters welcomed the development of a Policy Statement establishing Agreement State program principles. One of the underlying themes found in a number of letters was the need for having clear and well defined criteria and procedures for the Agreement State program. Another theme found in some of the letters was the idea that an "overall national program" regarding radiation should include both Atomic Energy Act (AEA) and ron-AEA material.
There were a number of letters that addressed issues such as: the O
perceived expansion of NRC regulation into nuclear medicine; the inequality between the fees charged to licensees by Agreement and non-Agreement States; the need for cooperation between States and Federal agencies; and the need to require States to develop Environmental Assessmer.ts (EA) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), apparently based on the assuraption that the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is applicable to Str.te actions. Coments addressing the role that economics should have in NRC decisions were also made, e.g., that NRC should not impose policies or requirements that could have potential adverse economic impact.
4
p Two comments questioning the approach and timing of the Policy Statement were submitted by a member of the licensee connunity. The first comment
! suggested that the Policy Statement goes beyond NRC's statutory authority and 1
should be withdrawn. The second connent suggested that the NRC delay taking i 1 any action on the Policy Statement until it can take into consideration the results of the review of the medical program by the National Academy of l
Sciences'(NAS).
i
- Response: l Several changes have been made to the proposed Policy Statement to i l
provide clarification regarding the issues raised by the public comments.
! l l
Regarding the perceived expansion into nuclear medicine, the NRC is within its mandate pursuant to the AEA and with the regulations it has issued.
This Policy Statement does not add new requirements.
The inequality between the fees charged by Agreement States to their licensees and the fees charged to NRC licensees has been partially addressed by the Commission in its proposal .to reduce some materials license fees presented in the FY95 fee rule published for comment (March 20, 1995; 60 FR 14670)@3dbi@tWe~e~iN1H.
The Commission agrees that there should be cooperation between the States and Federal agencies. The Comnission strives to coordinate its policies and requirements so that duplication of Federal regulations on States O 5
a .
l 1
or licensees is minimized or eliminated. In regard to the suggestion that the NRC require States to conduct EAs and EISs, the NRC's environmental protection regulations (10 CFR Part 51) implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NEPA's requirements only apply to the actions of Federal agencies.
l Generally, NEPA does not impose requirements on State agencies. In addition, both the language of Section 274 of the AEA and its legislative history are clear that the scope of Section 274 agreements is to be confined to radiation hazards. [This general rule, however, does not apply to the area of mill tailings, see Section 2740.] Given the structure of NEPA and Section 274 of l l
the AEA, the Commission does not require Agreement States to adopt (1) NEPA's
]
l requirements, or (2) other environmental protection measures that are l I
unrelated to radiological protection. However, many State agencies must '
follow their own environmental protection procedures pursuant to State statutes.
1 The Commission believes that the Policy Statement is within the scope of NRC's statutory authority because it addresses the manner in which NRC and the Agreement States will implement provisions contained in Section 274 of the AEA. The Policy Statement addresses the general framework and principles of the Agreement State program as opposed to any specific substantive area of regul ati on}gGEliTsittiitWa'dBEiissidiWjlieIN@~sfu~@5~olilidf({EddilM@.

A. NRC/ AGREEMENT STATE RELATIONSHIP This category discusses the nature of the relationship between the NRC l 2
and ' Agreement States, including the concept of "co-regulators".
1 j Summary of Comments: ;
! Several Agreement State commenters recommended that the Policy Statement l 4
f should more clearly address the "special relationship" between the NRC and the l Agreement States as " partners" and "co-regulators". l l
Response
3 1
i Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act establishes a special Federal-State i
4 regulatory framework for the control of radioactive materials. Pursuant to Section 274, NRC has the discretion to discontinue its authority over certain f.
l areas of regulation to a State government. The creation of a section 274 l agreement triggers the relinquishment of NRC regulatory authority to the State
! for these designated areas. Within these areas, the Agreement States have the 1
i sole regulatory authority and responsibility, subject to periodic NRC l
oversight. The Consission acknowledges the Agreement States' role as regulators of radioactive materials, with both the NRC and the Agreement States having a special interest in joint cooperation and consultation.
This special interest can most easily be categorized as one of assuring comprehensive, ongoing, and effective communication between NRC and Agreement 7
. a ;
1 States on matters of mutual regulatory concern. The special interest is i I
exemplified by interactions such as periodic overview meetings, including the Agr:::::t St:t:<r M:::ger: M : ting : d the All Agreement States meetings; i
periodic Comission briefings by the OAS as well as continuing consultation with the OAS on a variety of topics; recognition of the special nature of NRC and Agreement State relationships in the implenantation of the Federal Advisory Comittee Act; and obtaining early Agreement State consultation on the development of rulemaking plans under new Section 3.9(e) of the NRC l Regulations Handbook. In addition, the Comission i: ::::idering further involve {=ent Of the Agreement States in the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP), specifically participation by Agreement States on the review teams that conduct the IMPEP reviews of NRC regional programs and j Agreement State programs and participation by an Agreement State Liaison representative to the Management Review Board in the evaluation of NRC g I Regional and Agreement State programs as part of the IMPEP process.
1
)
I The Commission :::u'd notej that in recognizing the special interest of Agreement States in joint cooperation and consultation, the Commission also intends to conduct these special consultations in accordance with a policy of openness in terms of public notice and availability of information, a
Although the Comission recognizes the importance of Agreement State experience and perspectives in the sphere of co-regulation, the Comission weel4-emphasizej that it also has a separate and independent responsibility for the review of individual Agreement State programs to ensure continuing adequacy and compatibility of these programs.

- 8. LEGISLATIVE INTENT l
This section addresses several comments that raised issues of 1
- interpretation regarding the legislative intent of Section 274 of the Atomic i
Energy Act. For ease of understanding, this discussion has been divided into i l several sections.
}
l 1. No Concurrent Regulation i
4 Summary of Comments:
Several commenters indicated that one of the principal purposes of Section 274 was to minimize the Federal role in regulation. In particular, O c - tr<r ** 'ic c itsc - *d**t"61 4e4*> -
regulatory program as the yardstick, the Comission is trying to indirectly impose concurrent jurisdiction which Congress explicitly rejected." In addition, the comenter stated that one of the clear purposes of Section 274 was to minimize Federal regulation. Several other commenters indicated that the NRC has no direct responsibility to review State programs and that NRC and the States should respect each other as regulatory equals.
Response
In passing Section 274, Congress clearly rejected concurrent regulation at the State and Federal level. ("It is not intended to leave any room for the exercise of dual or concurrent jurisdiction by the State to control O '
i l
l
O t l l
radiation hazards by regulating byproduct, source, or special nuclear materials." Senate Report No. 870, Sept. 1, 1959, 86th Cong., 1st Sess.) %e
! C:= t::i: believe: th:t 'iConcurrent or dual regulation generally involves the simultaneous regulation by separate governmental bodies of the same entities for the same purpose. There is no intent behind the Comission's Policy Statement to impose, directly or by implication, a system of dual or concurrent regulation.

The fact that ' Congress rejected dual regulation does not dampen the fact that g Congress expressed the clear intent that the NRC assess the Agreement State regulatory programs to ensure that they are adequate and compatible with NRC's program. In 1978, Congress added to Section 274, among other things, the requirement that "(t)he Comission shall periodically review such agreements and actions taken by the States under the agreements to insure compliance with the provisions of this section." This amendment indicates a clear intent on the part of Congress to require NRC oversight of regulation by the Agreement States. While the Comission views the Agreement States as having regulatory authority in the area of AEA materials regulation, it cannot overlook its statutory responsibilitias to review Agreement State programs for adequacy and compatibility. In its approach to the Policy Statement, the Comission has sought to balance these two competing considerations.

- 2. Continuing Compatibility Sumary of Comments:
One Agreement State commenter stated that Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act does not require that coppatibility be maintained after an agreement is effective.
- l Response
- )
l l
The Commission does not agree with this interpretation of the AEA. Both Sections 274d(2) and 2749 indicate that the Comission must find a State program to be compatible with that of NRC's in order to enter into a 274b agreement'with that State. Although the language is not explicit in stating a requirement that an Agreement State must maintain continuing compatibility, the Comission believes that there is an implicit requirement for continuing i compatibility in Section 274.
l First, Subsection 274g authorizes and directs the Comission to cooperate with the States in the formulation of radiation protection standards "to assure that the State and Comission programs for the protection against hazards of radiation will be coordinktad and compatible." This provision demonstrates Congress' intention that the compatibility between the NRC's and Agreement States programs should be maintained on a continuing basis.
O 11
Second, Section 274j(1) requires the Comission to suspend or terminate an Agreement State's program if, among other things, "the State has not complied with one or more of the requirements" of Section 274. The Comission believes that this phrase "one or more of the requirements," encompasses all requirements of Section 274, including the requirement of compatibility.
Third, the lack of a continuing compatibility requirement would lead to scme unacceptable results. Under Subsection 274d.(2), the Comission is authorized to enter into an agreement with a State if the Comission makes both requisite findings that the State program is compatible with the NRC's program and adequate to protect the public health and safety. If there were no continuing compatibility requirement, an Agreement State could divert from having a compatible program the day after any agreement is signed with NRC.
Given this' framework, the Comission does not believe that Congress intended such meaning for the compatibility requirement. This approach would render
^
the requirements of 5 274d.(2) meaningless.

Response
o i
The Commission believes that its leadership role in certain areas is essential to ensuring that there is an orderly national regulatory pattern
! which provides a clear, common framework for the regulation of AEA materials.
At the same time, the Commission believes that the limited nature of its I i (
leadership role will allow States, in most cases, to implement their own '
' 1 regulatory program in response to local conditions and needs. The Commission )
' l
- further believes that the language and legislative history of Section 274 of I
- I i the AEA provides ample support for the NRC's leadership role. In fact, one of l the six stated purposes of Section 274 is "to promote an orderly regulatory pattern between the Commission and State governments with respect to nuclear i 1
development and use and regulation of byproduct, source, and special nuclear l material s." Section 274 a.(3). This stated purpose expresses a clear concern l on the part of Congress for the maintenance of a coherent national regulatory pattern. In addition, remarks made during the debate on Section 274 also demonstrate a concern for a consistent, national approach to radiation protection.'
' In particular, Representative Price indicated that: "Many of the States are doing far more in this area than we know at the present time.
There is a considerable amount of work being done. It is a matter of coordination to be sure that all are going toward the same goal, and they don't have a lot of conflicting regulations that make it a little difficult to operate on a national basis."

- 4. Intent of Section 274 is to Empower The States Summary of Comment:
One_ comenter indicated that the legislative history of Section 274 of the AEA clearly shows that Congress intended to encourage the States to assume responsibility for the regulation of certain radioactive materials by giving the States jurisdiction over the uses of those materials.
Response
NRC does not dispute that, in passing Section 274, Congress sought to l provide a vehicle to allow States to assume responsibility for the regulation of certain radioactive materials by giving States jurisdiction over the uses g of those materials. By doing so, Congress clearly intended to empower the States in this area. At the same time, Section 274 clearly requires the Commission to review Agrecment State programs to ensure that they are adequate and compat!Lle.
l C. EXCELLENCE This category addresses those management principles that both the NRC i and Agreement States should adopt to ensure high standards of performance in assuring public health and safety.

Summary of Comments:
{ Comments were received from two Agreement States, two members of the i licensee community, and two associations. The Agreement State comments were at opposite ends of the coment spectrum, with one Agreement State generally i
i supportive and one Agreement State unsupportive. The coments froc licensees j
were generally supportive, but with recommendations for clarifications on how the excellence principles should be applied in Agreement State program f
reviews. One association argued for the use of the excellence principles in the review of Agreement State programs, while the other believed there was no legitimate basis to include excellence in the Policy Statement.
An Agreement State and an association commented that excellence should )
not be included in the Policy Statement, based on the inappropriateness of its inclusion, the belief that excellence is neither implicitly nor explicitly included in the Atomic Energy Act, and that the excellence concept is too open ended and could lead to uneconomic regulation. An association believed that the provision calling for Agreement State relief from pressure by the regulated comunity and the concept of a dichotomy between the regulated and unregulated public are unconstitutional. An association and two members of the licensee community believe that the principles should not be treated merely as oratorical statements but should be used in the judgment of Agreement State programs. A member of the licensee comunity also suggested that the principles of excellence include a directive that Agreement States guard against placing their parochial interests above the national interest in fostering coherent regulation of nuclear materials.

performance indicators are determined to be less than fully satisfactory as a result of program reviews, when the Agreement State program identifies areas for improvement as a result of its self-assessments or audits by State governmental organizations, or when the public (including licensees) calls for improved performance. For these reasons, the Commission continues to believe that specific Agreement State program review criteria to measure excellence are not appropriate.

1
The Comission agrees that the statement about inappropriate " pressure from the regulated comunity" should be revised. The intent of the statement g
was not to limit expression of views by any party, but rather to maintain objectivity and fairness it; the Agreement State program even when any organizzation representing a parochial interest is particularly vocal. The Policy Statement has been revised to reflect this change.
The Comission agreet with the coment that Agreement States should foster coherent regulatior, but does not think a change to the Policy Statement is necessary. An overall objective of the Policy Statement, as reflected throughout, is to assure coherency in the collective efforts of the NRC and the Agreement States in the administration of regulatory programs. A specific statement to this effect need not be included. The new adequacy vid
, compatibility policy will also address national coherency ar5 consistency in the collective programs of NRC and Agreement State regulation.
h D. COHERENT NATIONAL PROGRAM l This category addresses the need to assure that disruption of the collective national program does not result from the radiation control programs of individual Agreement States.
Sumary of Coments:
Five comenters addressed this issue; three were supportive of the Policy Statement addressing national coherency, one offered limited support, l 18
s a
i and one was not supportive. Those in support included an Agreement State, an l
association and a member of the licensee community. Limited support was I
offered by an association. One Agreement State was unsupportive. The limited suppo'rt from the industry association was for coherency in basic radiation protection standards alone. In their view, anything beyond this is contrary to law; movement of goods and services are economic matters beyond jurisuiction of the NRC. The Agreement State offering no support questioned the statutory mandate for a coherent national program.
The Agreement State in support. indicated that a compatible national program should be established in those areas that affect the national interest. The supportive member of the licensee comunity and association actually went beyond coherency and endorsed a uniform national approach to all radiation safety matters and to regulation for the manufacture and supply of radioactive materials. They indicated that variations in State regulation, licensing, and inspection practices increases business complexity and leads to increased costs to users of their products. They also suggested that there be one body within government that establishes standards for all radiation and another implement and enforce those regulations.
Resoonse:
The Commission believes national coherency and compatibility as used in i Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act are closely linked. An analysis of Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act and its legislative history indicates that one of Congress' concerns in the area of compatibility was the 19 i
consistency of radiation standards throughout the country. There is no indication, however, that the term compatibility must be limited to radiation standards. Section 274d of the statute provides that the Comission shall enter into agreements only if it finds "that the State program is in accordance with the requirements of Subsection o. and in all other respects compatible with the Comission's program for the regulation of such materials

elements within NRC's regulatory structure. Therefore, the Comission retains the concept of the need for national coherency of regulatory programs in the
~
g Policy Statement.
The Comission does agree that it is reasonable to interpret the Atomic Energy Act as fjicsiTHE67'i-iting the need for national coherency to activities related to regulation of radiation safety. The Comission believes, however, that the need for coherency of regulation affecting the movement of goods and services is reasonably called for by the above interpretation of the 274d requirement to have Agreement State programs compatible with NRC's program in all other respects. This issue will be addressed in the NRC new adequacy and compatibility Policy Statement.
20
}
The Cosuiission believes that it has a national leadership role in the regulation of AEA materials across the country. In the adequacy and compatibility Policy Statement [Q{fR6Q@39463J, the Comission has indicated its intention to require States to promulgate and maintain identical regulatory requirements for limited areas of materials regulation under the Commission's compatibility review. As discussed in the compatibility response IIsliiii, these areas will generally be limited to radiation protection standards such as dose limits, release limits and associated definitions, whose uniformity are important in assuring that there are no harmful or disruptive duplications, conflicts, or gaps in regulation from State to State.
The Commission believes that its leadership role in these limited areas is essential to ensuring that there is an orderly national regulatory pattern which provides a clear, comon framework for the regulation of AEA materials.
~
At the same time, the Commission believes that the nature of its leadership role will allow States, in most cases, to implement their own regulatory program in response to local conditions and needs. The Comission further believes that the language and legislative history of Section 274 of the AEA provides ample support for the NRC's leadership role as set out in the Policy Statement. In fact, one of the six stated purposes of Section 274 is "to promote an orderly regulatory pattern between the Comission and State governments with respect to nuclear development and use and regulation of byproduct source and special nuclear materials." (Section 274a(3).) This stated purpose expresses a clear concern on the part of Congress for the maintenance of a coherent national regulatory pattern.
O 21
m a !
The Comission is not aware of any legislation which currently authorizes the establishment of a single body within government to establish standards for all regulation and one body to implement and enforce those i regulations, other than the Environmental Protection Agency's responsibility ;
to establish generally applicable environmental standards.
On the issue of the economic impacts of regulations, once adequate l health and safety is assured, the Comission iji[fles4-consider ETR~of lTfi6ii(fEr@)TitTry3pp_rjAiT6fies?fieh:ther th burd::: it pl:::: On th !

I E. COMPATIBILITY h
This category addresses the responsibility of HRC and Agreement States to cooperate in the administration of respective radiation control programs ;
1 that are coordinated and compatible.
Sumary of Coments:
Eight comenters offered coments on the section titled " Compatible in Areas of National Interest;" three associations, two States, one public interest group, one member of the licensee comunity and one private citizen.
Four commenters, two States, one association, and a public interest group, comented on the issue of uniformity. One of these comenters noted that 22 O
z 1 there was no need for a common regulatory philosophy but noted that common definitions and standards should be required for certain basic units and limits. A second of these commenters noted that uniformity should be required for basic radiation protection standards stating that the movement of goods and services are economic matters beyond the jurisdiction of the NRC. The third agreed that consistency in basic radiation protection standards, such as dose limits and release limits, was needed. The commenter suggested that the logical first step should be to achieve consistency among Federal agencies and the Agreement States regarding the basic dose limits. Finally, the fourth commenter supported compatibility in areas such as units of measure and transportation.
Four commenters, a member of the public, a public interest group, an association and a member of the licensee community, commented on the issue of
- allowing States to establish more stringent requirements. One indicated that the regulations of Agreement States must be no less than Federal regulations l in all -
- ts .
! L J.
Two commenters indicated that States should not be allowed to set more i
stringent requirements. One of these comn. enters stated that more stringent
]
! dose limits for particular classes of licensees should not be established by l Agreement States. One commenter indicated that States should not be allowed i to set less restrictive requirerents. One commenter also offered a number of i
j comments relating to the practice of medicine and noted there was a general lack of understanding of the role of the accreditation agencies, and cited i
examples. An association commented about impact on the practice of medicine b.
23 i
i
The due to differing requirements between NRC and the Agreement States.
commenter noted that States implementing changes incompatible with NRC requirements in Part 35 interfere with interstate transfer of qualified physicians, restrict availability of qualified physicians which involves restraint of trade issues, increases health care costs without corresponding benefit and compromises safety of patients. Specific cases in Texas, Georgia, Nebraska and other Agreement States were cited. These coments, since they pertain to the practice of medicine, were not addressed as they deal with an area outside of the Policy Statement.
One association commented that the Policy Statement involves Federal interference with State regulation of the practice of medicine and pharmacy and should be revised to recognize State decisions.
O 1
Response
l With respect to comments filed on the uniformity aspect of
! compatibility, the Comission agrees there is need for uniformity in a limited number of areas. As suggested by several of the comenters, the areas that should be considered for uniformity between NRC and Agreement State regulatory I programs should include definitions and terminology for certain basic units and limits and basic radiation protection standards, such as dose limits and release limits.
With respect to coments on the issue of allowing States to establish more stringent requirements, there was no clear discernable position or 24
b
, rationale :et out in the coments which would provide a basis for establishment of a position different g@ean that set out in the draft
- policy. The Comission agrees with the coment that, in some cases, Agreement States should not be allowed to establish less restrictive requirements. The Comission also does not believe it is necessary to require that regulations of Agreement States must be no less stringent than Federal regulations in all respects. States need flexibility in many areas to reflect individual State
$ agency and State legislative preferences on how their programs should be i adwinistered. As noted above, there was agreement that uniformity should be achieved in certain, although limited areas of NRC and State regulation. The l Comission agrees with the coment that States should not be r,equired to adopt regulations where the State has no licensees that would be subject to the 4 regulation and the NRC has recently implemented this approach in reviews of Agreement State regulations.
I
- i. FLEXIBILITY
! This category covers coments made in regard to the Flexibility section of the Policy Statement, as well as coments made regarding the concept of allowing Agreement States greater latitude in establishing their requirements.
! Sumary of Coments:
.' Five comenters addressed the issue of flexibility, all of ther: focusing on whether an Agreement State should have the right to set more stringent requirements than those of the NRC. The two comenters that supported O
V 25
allowing the Agreement States to set more stringent requirements to account for State, county, or local conditions were a public interest group, and an Agreement State. The three comenters who opposed allowing an Agreement State to set more stringent requirements than those of the NRC were two members of the licensee comunity and an association.
l
Response
~
l The Comission believes that the " Flexibility" section in the Policy Statement strikes the right balance between maintaining the radiation standards that are needed for a coherent national program and allowing j Agreement States flexibility to set requirements under certain conditions. It is stated in the section that "...the exercise of such flexibility should' not bar or preclude, or effectively preclude, a practice authorized by the Atomic Energy Act, and in the national interest." i G. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION l
This category covers comments provided on the Performance Evaluation section of the Policy Statement. .The public comments concerned the review process, program consistency among the NRC and Agreement States, who should do l
the reviews, and the ;;ategorization of findings. Coments were received from four Agreement States, one public interest group, one association, one member of the licensee comunity, and one private citizen. The comenters generally agreed that performance evaluations were necessary, but offered suggestions for improvements.
26 O
l j[ Iggparv of Coments:
1 j Both Agreement States and members of the licensee community agreed that 4
j a strong performance evaluation scheme is necessary and that consistency among NRC and the Agreement State radiation control programs is necessary to assure j their effectiveness. However, one association believed that the criteria in !
the Policy Statement is vague and unworkable. Specifically, terms such as "sianificantly deficient," " substantial period of time," "sianificant items of j compatibility," and "several of the required compatibility items" are too i vague. Many comenters offered suggestions regarding the findings of the i
reviews. Three suggested that the term marginally satisfactory was not appropriate and that "needs improvement" or "needs significant improvement" be i
- used instead. One commenter suggested that if an Agreement State program has any deficiencies, the program should be eliminated.
i j One Agreement State suggested that the Governor of the Agreement State, having the responsibility for public health and safety, should designate how l
the program review should be conducted. Options offered were (1) an internal l State management review team, (2) a third party such as the Conference of Rtdiation Control Program Directors, Inc., or (3) the NRC. MMisd gfe'sfeTWggiX@][R$gogrjpMFJsg1gNe3fjBI]f l

" Management Directive On Use of Common Performance Indicators in Review of the Agreement State and Regional Materials Programs."
With regard to the use of the " marginally adequate" finding, the Commission' agrees that this category was not sufficiently descriptive. The g Commission is proposing to use the terminology " adequate, but needs improvement" to characterize a program where deficiencies exist, but where such deficiencies are not significant enough to affect the State's ability to protect public health and safety.
With regard to the comments on the use of vague terms such as "significantly," " substantial," 'several," etc., the NRC has used such qualifying terms to allow for professional judgement in the evaluation of complex technical issues. The Commission continues to believe that the NRC must have latitude to apply professional judgement in the application of its technical criteria.
28
i With regard to the coments concerning other parties performing l Agreement State program reviews, the commenter indicated that "There is j nothing in the Atomic Energy Act that requires the NRC to be directly
!- responsible to review State programs.* lbh, statement is not true. Section i
! 274j specifically states in part that, "The Comission shall periodically i
review such agreements and actions taken by the States under the agreements to l insure compliance with the provisions of this section." The Comission i
- believes that ths NRC does not have the option of delegating the ultimate l dectsion making responsibility to the States. However, it may be possible to f
i- consider in the future the involvement of third parties in the review process.
! N M jPROCEDURES FOR SUSPENSION & TERMINATION 1
4 t
! This~ category covers concents provided on the procedures used by NRC in the reporting of review findings and the conduct of any hearings that may result.
Sumary of Comments:
One Agreement State stated that prior to an emergency suspension of an agreement, the Governor should be notified and provided an opportunity for an expedited hearing. The comenter also expressed strong objection to the procedures as being inappropriate for co-regulators. Agreement State commenters suggested that the procedures should address the situation where termination is requested by an Agreement State or any other party. One Agreement State believed that probation should lead to suspension or O 29
termination only when the Agreement State program is so inadequate as to have potential for significant impacts on public health and safety. They also suggested that during suspension, the NRC should be encouraged to contract with the Agreement State to provide forLTa~p orderly transfer of files andi@
EEiRG :::tr::t out licensing activities g* te th: ::: pended ^.grc::: t St:t pr:gr:=.
With regard-to hearings, two comenters stated that it was inappropriate for an Agreement State to be represented on the hearing board. One suggested that hearings be conducted by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel (ASLBP). One commenter questioned when a Special Board would conduct a hearing as opposed to the Commission itself. One public interest group opposed non-compatibility as a reason for suspension. Another believed that hearings should be conducted at the time a State applies for Agreement State g status.
One member of the licensee community agreed that a mandatory phased implementation of a State's regulatory authority should be advantageous to both the NRC and the Agreement State.
Response
The Coamission3f1TTo{gflh'eMiyeyorQ@Tfei(Elisiff f[yjYell]Q7Ji3@
does not believe that hearings are appropriate prior to emergency suspensions.
Such action would only be taken in emergency situations where immediate action is necessary to protect public health and safety. In these cases, delay for a 30 O
1 i
hearing would not be warranted. Section 274 is clear that the NRC has this
- authority. With regard to an Agreement State request for termination, it is l clear that as in the past, NRC will respond to such requests, and the Commission feels that there is no need for specific criteria to address this situation.
I i
After evaluating the comments, the Commission continues to believe that a Special Board, as contemplated in the proposed Policy Statement, is the most appropriate vehicle for conducting the hearing on the suspension or j termination of an Agreement State program. The Commission supports the use of a Special Board to conduct suspension or tennination hearings, although it is I
cognizant that there may be at least an appearance of partiality from inclusion of an OAS member on the Special Board. In this regard, the Commission ~ believes that it is in the interest of the overall Agreement State program, represented by the OAS member, to maintain the highest program standards. Moreover, the perspectives the OAS member would bring to the Special Board are valuable and could be necessary for an informed decision on suspension or termination.
Not only does the composition of the Special Board specifically provide Agreement State perspective and experience, but it also recognizes the special status of Agreement States in the regulatory framework.
The Commission could terminate an agreement on the basis of non-compatibility alone. With regard to a hearing when a State applies for Agreement State status, Section 274 does not require such a hearing and given O
G 31
the opportunity that already exists for public input into the criteria for qualifying as an Agreement State, there does not appear to be compelling reason for a hearing at this stage. The C:ri :icr. :;;re : RitM@~faRj{d the comment that probation should lead to suspension or termination only when the Agreement State program has the potential for significant impacts on public health and safety or is found to be inadequate 4fithH@@_onjwoul@T6 inteMMchfist}GHIEaslaay@e?nesFzlif5?isiruisNEiWistif ty3falisiiiif1Fnaf
- E8JE!nl In response to the comment regarding a request from a member of the public to suspend or terminate an Agreement State program, the Comission will l carefully evaluate the merits of such requests. No specific procedural mechanism need be used for these requests. A letter providing a rationale for the requests will suffice. This reflects a change of past practice where in g one instance the Comission specified the use of the petition process in 10 CFR 2.206 as the appropriate procedural vehicle for requesting suspension or termination of an Agreement State program. However, since that time, the Comission has completed an extensive evaluation of the 2.206 process, and believes that the 2.206 petition process should be confined to requests for actions against licensees, and no.t Agreement States.
With regard to contracting with a suspended Agreement State program to operate the program during the suspension, the Commission does not believe that this comment has merit. In circumstances where the Comission feels it is necessary to suspend an agreement, to allow the same program to operate under contract would not be in the interest of public health and safety.

l UfETSISSUECATEGORY: CLARITY l
This category covers public coments requesting explanations, l definitions or contextual refinement. The category cuts across all sections l of the Policy Statement. l l
Sumary of Coments:
Some of the comenters asked for definitions of terms such as "significant decisions," " provision of services," " substantial period of time," and " national interest." There was also a request to detail when the i
Commission would conduct hearings in lieu of using the Special Board. In addition, there were a number of coments requesting contextual clarification, l or additional information, e.g., the request for clarification of why the l internal procedures were made part of the Policy Statement.
Response:
- l In most instances where the Comission was asked to define a term, examples which would clarify the term in question have been included in the Policy Statement. For example, the sentence "Significant decisions should be documented with the rationale for such decision explained" which appears in the Regulatory Program Excellence section of the Policy Statement, has been modified to read, "Significant decisions, for example, a change in enforcement policy, should be documented with the rationale for such decisions explained."
Regarding detailing when the Comission would conduct a hearing in lieu of the 33
i l
Special Board, this is a Comission decision made at its discretion on a case-by-case basis. All coments of a clarifying nature, not involving issues of 1
substance, have been accomodated.
l III. Discussion As stated in the Statement of Principles and Policy for the Agreement l State Program, the Comission recognizes that the NRC-Agreement State program is dynamic. The Policy addresses the general framework and principles of the Agreement State program as opposed to any specific substantive area of regulation. The NRC and Agreement States will continue to jointly assess the overall national program to identify specific changes which should be 1
considered based on experience or to further improve overall performance and effectiveness of the national progrcm. Furthe m.cre, th: C: ri::icn will g

IV. The Consiission Policy l
l STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES AND POLICY FOR THE AGREEMENT STATE PROGRAM 1
l A. PURPOSE l The purpose of this Statement of Principles and Policy for the Agreement 1
State Program is to clearly describe the respective roles and responsibilities of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) and States in the 34
1 J
t I administration of programs carried out under Section 274 of the Atomic Energy l
1 Act of 1954, as amended. Section 274 provides broad authority for the NRC to j l establish Federal and State cooperation in the administration of regulatory l I
programs for thie protection of public health and safety in the industrial, j medical, and resnrch uses of nuclear materials.
l 1 ,
- This Policy Statecent addresses the Federal-State interaction under the l Atomic Energy Act to
- (1) establish an'j maintain agreements with States under l
- Section 274(b) to provide for discontir.uance by the NRC, and the assumption by i the State, of responsibility for administration of a regulatory program for the use of byproduct, sotirce, and small quantities of special nuclear material; and (2) ensure that post-agreement interactions among the NRC and i
Agreement State radiation control programs are coordinated and compatible and
- that Agreement State programs continue to provide adequate protection of the
] public health and safety.
l 4
l l This Policy Statement establishes principles, objectives, and goals that the Commission expects will be reflected in the implementing guidance and progrrJs of the NRC and Agreement States to meet their respective program j responsibilities and which should be achieved in the administration of these '
programs.
This Policy Statement is intended solely as guidance for the Commission and the Agreement States in the implementation of the Agreement State program.
This Policy Statement does not itself impose legally binding requirements on the Agreement States. In addition, nothing in this Policy Statement expands 35
I the legal authority of Agreement States beyond that already granted to them by Implementation l Section 274 of the AEA and other relevant legal authority.
procedures adopted pursuant to this Policy Statement shall be consistent with the legal authorities of the Commission and the Agreement States.
B. STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 did not specify a role for the States in regulating the use of nuclear materials. Many States were concerned as to what their responsibilities in this area might be and expressed interest in i seeing that the boundaries of Federal and State autbrity were clearly defined. This need for clarification was particularly important in view of the fact that although the Federal government retained sole responsibility for protecting the public health and safety from the radiation hazards of gl byproduct, source, and special nuclear material, the responsibility for l protecting the public from the radiation hazards of other sources such as x-ray machines and radium had for many years been borne by the States.
Consequently, in 1959 Congress enacted Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act to establish a statutory framework under which States could assume certain regulatory jurisdiction over byproduct, source, and special nuclear material in quantities less than a critical mass. The primary purpose of the legislation was to authorize the Comission to discontinue t: the St:t+s its regulatory authority over the use of these materials [ng6fMfs0Mji[fjf f
~
fliisTilItli3EQ7])y36i?3fi[6j. The Commission retained regulatory authority over the licensing of certain faciliti'es and activities such as nuclear 36
i reactors, larger quantities of special nuclear material, and the export and import of nuclear materials.
' In considering the legislation, Congress recognized that the Federal <
- government would need to assist the States to ensure that they developed the I
j capability to exercise their regulatory authority in a competent and effective manner. Accordingly, the legislation authorized the Commission to provide training and other services to State officials ed employees. However, in j rendering this assistance, the Congress did not intend that the Commission 4
I would provide any grants to a State for the adminf stration of a State regulatory program. This was fully consistent with the objectives of Section 274 to qualify States to assume independent regulatory authority over certain I defined areas of regulatory jurisdiction and to permit the Commission to '
discontinue its regulatory responsibilities in those areas. ;
In order to discontinue its authority to a particular State, the Conmiission must find that the program is compatible with the Commission's program for the regulation of radioactive materials and that the State program is adequate to protect the public health and safety. In addition, the Commission has an obligation, pursuant to Section 274(j) of the Act, to review existing Agreement State programs to ensure continued adequacy and compatibility. Section 274(j) of the Act provides that the NRC may teminate or suspend all or part of its agreement with a State if the Commission finds that such termination is necessary to protect the public health and safety or the State has not complied with the provisions of Section 274(j). In these cases, the Commission must offer the State reasonable notice and opportunity 37

. for a hearing. In addition, the Connission may temporarily suspend all or part of an agreement in the case of an emergency situation.

fef3fyf@HgjfoMIKJHjWr$${@iTp_~@Mj ) l I Regulatory decisions and actions should be developed and implemented in an open and publicly credible manner and should be able to withstand scrutiny. Such scrutiny should be welcomed by the regulator. The regulator should be, and appear to be, independent and impartial in its actions. Regulations and regulatory decisions should be based on assessments of the best available information from affected and interested individuals and organizations, as well as on the best available knowledge from research and operational experience. Significant decisions, for example, a change in enforcement policy, should be documented with the rationale for such decisions explained. 1 The public should have an opportunity for early involvement in significant I regulatory program decisions. Where several effective alternatives are i available, the alternative that best assures safety while considering i differing views should be adopted, considering the resources needed to i implement that alternative. Regulations should be necessary, and appropriate, to assure safety, and should be clear, coherent, logical, and practical. Regulatory actions should be fully consistent with regulations and good public n 39
policy and should lead to stability and predictability in the planning and implementation of radiation control programs. Failure to adhere to these principles of36fdg511)LQ x::11:::: in the conduct of operations should be a sufficient reason for a regulatory program to self-initiate program changes that will result in needed improvements. All involved should welcome expressions of concern that indicate a program may not be operating in accordance with these principles # ex 011: :: and revise their program to more completely reflect these principles. It is not intended that these principles of Eo"d2@jBoiji:x:0110n:: be established as formal criteria against which NRC and Agreement State programs would be assessed. Rather, the expectation is that these principles g will be incorporated into the day-to-day operational fabric of NRC and Agreement State materials programs. These principles should be used in the formulation of policies and programs, implementation of those policies and programs, and assessments of program effectiveness. Application of these principles will ensure that complacency will be minimized, that adequate levels of protection of public health and safety are being provided, and that government employees tasked with the responsibility for these Federal and State regulatory programs serve the public in an effective, efficient, and responsive manner. These principles are primarily for the use of materials program managers and staff in the self assessment of their programs and to use in the establishment of goals and objectives for the continual improvement of their respective programs. Deficiencies identified during the conduct of NRC 40

- ll::::. The organization being assessed should factor the need for
- ll:::: E sI M @ @ into its actions to address identified deficiencies.
C.2. [oherent National Proaram The mission of the NRC is to assure that the civilian uses of nuclear I materials in the United States are carried out with adequate protection of public health and safety. NRC acknowledges its responsibility to ensure that there is a coherent nttional radiation control program for AEA materials and NRC through this program establishes national radiation protection standards. l The basic' elements of such a program include ability to ensure adequate protection of the public health and safety, compatibility in areas of national l interest, sufficient flexibility to accommodate local needs and conditions, l ability to assess program performance on a consistent and systematic basis, and ::: ll:::: [${@j)M6ffjM$ji[a@]lin program administration. ! Each of these elements is reflected and addressed in specific sections ) of this Policy Statement. ) C.3. Adeauate to Protect the Public Health and Safety NRC and Agreement State radiation control programs have the responsibility to ensure adequate protection of the public health and safety O 41 1
i in the administration of their respective regulatory programs controlling the uses of AEA materials. Accordingly, NRC and Agreement State programs shall possess the requisite supporting legislative authority, implementing crganization structure and procedures, and financial and human resources to l effectively administer a radiation control program that ensures adequate protection of the public health and safety. C.4. Compatible in Areas of National Interest NRC and Agreement State radiation control programs have the responsibility to ensure that a consistent and compatible radiction control program is administered. Such a radiation control progran should be based on a comon regulatory philosophy including the comon use of definitions and standards. It should not only be effective, and cooperatively implemented by NRC and the Agreement States, but also should provide uniformity and j consistency in program areas having national significance. Such areas include those affecting interstate comerce, movement of l goods and provision of services, and safety reviews for sealed source devices 1 sold nationwide. Also necessary is the ability to comunicate using a 1 nationally accepted set of terms with comon understanding, the ability to ensure an adequate level of protection of public health and safety that is consistent and stable across the nation, and the ability of NRC and each Agreement State to evaluate the effectiveness of the national radiation control program. 42 O
I i C.5. Flexibility With the exception of national radiation protection standards, to the i extent possible, Agreement State radiation control programs for AEA materials j should be provided with flexibility in program implementation to accommodate j individual State preferences, State legislative direction, and local needs and conditions. However, the exercise of such flexibility should not bar or i preclude, or effectively preclude, a practice authorized by the Atomic Energy j Act, and in the national interest. That is, a State would have the ! flexibility to design its own program, including incorporating more stringent, or similar, requirements provided that the requirements for adequacy are still met, and the more stringent requirements do not preclude or effectively preclude a practice within the national interest without an adequate public health and~ safety or environmental basis related to radiation protection. D. NEW AGREEMENTS D.I. Overall Process of Becomina an Aareement State Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act requires that once a decision to seek Agreement State status is made by the State, the Governor of that State must certify to the NRC that the State desires to assume regulatory responsibility and has a program for the control of radiation hazards adequate to protect the public health and safety with respect to the materials within the State covered by the proposed agreement. This certification will be provided in a letter to the NRC which includes a number of documents in O 43
support of the certification. These documents include the State's enabling legislation, the radiation control regulations, a narrative description of the State program's policies, practices and procedures, and a proposed agreement. The NRC has published criteria describing the necessary content these documents are required to cover. The NRC reviews the request and publishes 1 I notice of the proposed agreement in the Federal Register to provide an opportunity for public cossent. After consideration of public comments, if the Commission determines that the State program is adequate and compatible, and approves the agreement, a formal agreement document is signed by the Governor and the Chairman of the NRC. l l D.2.

E. PROGRAM ASSISTANCE - NRC will offer training and other assistance to States, such as assistance in developing regulations and program descriptions to help individual States prepare for entrance into agreements and to help them during transition periods of assumption of regulatory authority. Following assumption of regulatory authority by a new Agreement State, Mt@[ssfsi@ FriiMiIidibyiresouresQNRC can provide training => ' =^' and other assistance such as review of proposed regulatory changes to help States administer their regulatory responsibilities. NRC would also use its best efforts to provide specialized technical assistance to Agreement States to address unique or complex licensing, inspection, and enforcement issues. In areas where Agreement States have particular expertise or are in the best 46
4 i position to provide immediate assistance to the NRC, the Agreement States are i encouraged to do so. In addition, NRC and Agreement States shall use their T best efforts to keep.each other informed about relevant aspects of their programs. NRC will provide an opportunity for Agreement States to have early and substantive involvement in rulemaking, policy, and guidance development l activities. Agreement States should provide a similar opportunity to the NRC I to make it aware of, and to provide the opportunity to review and comment on, proposed changes in @ lifl65 Q M j p Q[ @ tic fang [fj Agreement State programs, 7:; thr.:, policies, and regulatory guidance. l 1 If an Agreement State experiences difficulty in program administration, , l the Commission would use its best efforts to assist the State in maintaining l the effectiveness of its radiation control program. Such assistance could ! address an iumediate difficulty or a chronic difficulty affecting the State's ability to discharge its responsibility to continue to ensure adequate protection of the public health and safety. F. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION Under Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, the I Commission retains authority for ensuring that Agreement State programs continue to provide adequate protection of the public health and safety. In fu'Ifillit;g this statutory responsibility, NRC will provide oversight of Agreement State radiation control programs to ensure that they are adequate and compatible prior to entrance into a Section 274(b) agreement and that they continue to be :daquate and compatible after an agreement is effective. The O 47
Comnission, in cooperation with the Agreement States, will establish and implement a performance evaluation program to provide NRC and Agreement State management with systematic, integrated, and reliable evaluations of the strengths and weaknesses of their respective radiation safety control programs and identification of areas needing improvement. As a part of this performance evaluation process, the Comission will takeanynecessaryactionsto@fp]ensurethatAgreementStateradiation control programs remain adequate and compatible. These actions include: (1) periodic assessments of Agreement State radiation control programs against established review criteria; (2) provision of assistance to help addrest weaknesses or areas within an Agreement State radiation contrcl program requiring improvement @fEffeTiffshtJfe~rmYtf~edffbyDSCliff60Fdis; (3) placing a State on a probationary status for serious program deficiencies that require heightened oversight; (4) temporary suspension of an agreement and reassertion of NRC regulatory authority in an emergency if an Agreement State program experiences any imediate program difficulties preventing the State from continuing to ensure adequate protection of the public health and safety; and (5) suspension or termination of an agreement and reassertion of NRC regulatory authority if the Agreement State program experiences difficulties which jeopardize the State's ability to continue to ensure adequate protection of the public health and safety"ogiffole'5iitThiie~ltBTaillifalhjiff5iijif{}b~}j g hpagr_aii. The basis for NRC's actions will be based on a well defined and predictable process and a performance evaluation program which will be consistently and fairly applied. 48 O
G. LEVELS OF AGREEMENT STATE PROGRAM REVIEW FINDINGS The following discussien outlines the nature of NRC findings regarding the NRC's Agreement State review process. FINDIK3 I - ADEQUATE TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH AND SA?ETY AND70RM101 COMPATIBLE If the NRC finds that a State program has met all of the Agreement State program review criteria or that onl;r minor deficiencies exist, the Commission would find that the State's program is adequate to procect the public health and safety. If the NRC determines that a State prograti contains all required NRC program elements for compatibility, or caly minor discrepancies exist, the program would be found compatible. 3MhJ1NRy@i3MfqEgf[itMStitll[a 3 imogryj65tYdWhifsif6sibVife?l)7affeMpfj@iifiC5M6{[ttsiyiBITeEG3 Hirv

The NRC would consider in its determination plans that the State has to address any of the deficiencies noted during the review. In cases where less significant Agreement State deficiencies previously identified have been uncorrected for a O 49 l l

1 i j H. NRC ACTIONS AS A RESULT OF THESE FINDINGS l The following discussion outlines the options available to the NRC as a ) result of making any of the above findings. The appropriate action will be i i determined on a. case-by-case basis by NRC management. LETTERS l In all cases, subsequent to an Agreement State program review, the I findings would be recounted in a letter to senior level State management. In ! the event'that the NRC finds that a State program is adequate and compatible, no further action would be required F xl WiTa Mijpe s fef$iQt$fjE@
~
@$onn#rM[1iiicenisn@siis. In the case where minor deficiencies are l noted[6F,JT@ifEIMr)~(@ ism %@1((ffs, the State would be requested to describe their proposed corrective action. If the corrective action appears j appropriate, no fucther NRC action is required, If additional clarification l l
of the correctf'm actions is needed, additional correspondence may be l 1 necessary. ! FOLLOW-UP REVIEWS ! 1 l In the event that deficiencies are noted during the program review, NRC l may increase the frequency of contacts with the State to keep abreast of l 51 1 l 1 1
i i developments and conduct onsite follow-up reviews to assure that progress is being made on correcting program deficiencies. If, during follow-up reviews, it is shown that the State has taken corrective actions, a letter finding the State adequate and compatible would be provided. PROBATIONARY STAT!JS There are three circumstances which can lead to an adequate but needs i improvement or incompatible State program being placed in a probationary . status: (I) There are cases in which program deficiencies may be serious enough to require immediate heightened oversight; (2) In other cases, Agreement State program deficiencies previously identified may have been uncorrected for a significant period of time; and (3) If the NRC determines that a State program has been late in adopting required compatibility elements g; w rennexess m amunr e m arm we m an 4 M M . If the NRC was not confident that the State would address the program deficiencies in an expeditious and effective manner, the Commission would place the State program on probation. As a result of placing a State program en probation, the NRC would I communicate its findings to a higher level of State management. Notice of i such probationary status would normally be addressed to the Governor of the State. Notice would also be published in the Federal Register. A copy of the letter to the Governor would be placed in the Public Document Room and a press release would be issued. 52
i Once a State program is placed on probation, the NRC would heighten its l
- c . .. opgrsight.of the program. This worm include.@tMni,ng comitmen$g, frca the , ,.
i State in the fona of a management plan to describe actions to be taken by the i l State to address the program deficiencies, including specific goals and milestones. The NRC would increase observation of State program activities under the agreement to assure adequate protection of the public health and i
- safety. If requested and in accordance with terms agreed to by the parties, 1
3 the NRC would consider providing technical support for the maintenance of the 1
- regulatory program. The probationary period would last for a specified period 1
j of time. This period would not normally be more than one year, but could be j extended based on extenuating circumstances. At the end of that time, if the ] State has not addressed the deficiencies, the NRC would institute suspension or termination proceedings. I l i !O
- SUSPENSION ficction 274j of the Atomic Energy Act gives the Comission authority to sust,end all or part of its agreenient with a State if the suspension is
{ recuired to protect the public health and safety, or if the State has not ; ]
- I complied with one or more of the requirements of Section 274 of the Act. In
! cases where the Comissica finds that program deficiencies related to either adequacy or compatibility are such that the Comission must take action to ) protect the public health and safety, or if the program has not complied with l one or more of the requirements of Section 274 of the Act, the Comission would suspend all or part of its agreement with the State. In cases where a 1 State has failed to respond in an acceptable manner during the probationary O 53 i 4 I-l
period, suspension would be considered. If the situation is not resolved,

i Before reaching a final decision on suspension, the Comission will ; i notify the State and provide the State an opportunity for a hearing on the proposed suspension. Notice of the proposed suspension will also be published in the Federal Register. Suspension, rather than termination, would be the , preferred option in those cases where the State provides evidence that the program deficiencies are temporary and'that the State is comitted to correcting the deficiencies that led to the suspension. ' In addition to the normal suspension authority, Section 274j.(2) of the Act also addresses emergency situations and gives the Comission authority to temporarily suspend all or part of its agreement with a State without notice g or hearing if an emergency situation exists requiring imediate action to protect public health and safety, and the State has failed to take necessary action within a reasonable time. TERMINATION Section 274j of the Atomic Energy Act gives the Comission authority to terminate its agreement with a State if such termination is required to protect the public health and safety, or if the State program has not complied with one or more of the requirements of Section 274 of the Act (e.g., is found to be not compatible with the Comission's program).

- O Currently, Section 274 does not allow federal funding for the l
administration of Agreement State radiation control programs. Section 274 j permits the NRC to offer training and other assistance to a State in
- anticipatiqn of entering into an Agreement with NRC, however, it is NRC policy i
! not to fund the establishment of new Agreement States program.

J. REGULATORY DEVELOPMENT O NRC and Agreement States will cooperate in the development of new l I regulations and policy. Agreement States will have early and substantive l involvemant in the development of new regulations affecting protection of the public health and safety and of new policy affecting administration of the l Agreement State program. Likewise, the NRC expects to have the States provide l l i it with early and substantive involvement in the development of new Suggested State Regulations. NRC and Agreement States will keep each other informed about their individual regulatory requirements (i.e., regulations or license conditions) and the effectiveness of those regulatory requirements so that each has the opportunity to make use of prover, regulatory approaches to f'Jrther the effective and efficient use of resources.

f i i f . Overview (A) As* authorizeo*under Section*274 ol the' Atomic EiseIg*y*Act ol 1954,*as'ame'n'ded, i the policy of the NRC is to enter into agreements with States - (1) 4 l e Upon certification by the Governor that the State has a program for ! the control of radiation hazards adequate to protect public health and safety with respect to the materials within the State covered by the proposed agreement and the State desires to assume regulatory J responsibility for such material. (a) i e After a finding by the Commission that the State program is in accordance with the requirements of Subsection o of Section 274 and in all other respects compatible with the Commission's program l i for the regulation of such materials, and is adequate to protect public health and safety with respect to the materials covered by the proposed agreement. (b) { j The NRC believes that a formal phased implernentation process,- during which a State initially assumes authority over smaller licenses of less regulatory complexity, l
- would be advantageous to both NRC and an Agreement State. It would provide the i NRC an opportunity to provide for an orderly transition of licensed activities to the State. It may also help to identify any areas of the State'.s program that require 4 additional guidance from NRC before the State assumes full responsibility over all activities covered under the Agreement. From the State perspective, it should provide new Agreement States an opportunity to gain experience with their
. programs prior to having responsibility for more complex licenses. l Therefore, NRC plans a phased implementation process for future agreements. As l with past practice, NRC will make a finding that the State's entire program is . adequate and compatible with that of the NRC. The Agreement itself would l identify the dates at which the new Agreement State would assume authority over ! certain categories of licensees (i.e., the implementation dates for the phases). In j the initial phase, the State will exercise full regulatory authority over categories of licensees with programs of lesser complexity. During this first phase, the State will l a perform all regulatory functions for the transferred licenses. The remaining i categories will be transferred to the Agreement State's jurisdiction at the date fixed ! in the Agreement for the implementation of the second phase. To assist in the , I ! phased implementation, NRC would conduct a review of the State's entire program l i under the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program prior to the date fixed in the agreement for implementation of the second phase to er,)sure the l State's program continues to be adequate to protect public health and safety and j compatible with NRC's regulatory program. (See Management Directive 5.6 for more detail about the evaluation of the State's program and Management Directive } i 5.9 (under development) for more detail about the adequacy and compatibility of ! Agreement State programs.) j This management directive and handbook supplement the Criteria for Guidance of 1 l 4 1
C 0 ' States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption l Thereof by States throug~h Agreement (46 FR 7540, ~ January 23,1981,as * * f ' amended by ' policy statements published at 46 FR 36969, July' 16,1981, and 48 FR 33376, July 21,1983). l Office of State Programs and Regional Responsibilities (B) The Office of State Programs will- (1) e Plan, schedule and arrange meetings with the State to discuss issues related to the request for an agreement. (a) e Coordinate the protocol to be published with the proposed agreement with the State and appropriated headquarters and regional offices on the phased implementation of the agreement. (b) e Takes the lead in drafting a Commission Paper which includes the staff assessment, proposed agreement with phased implementation protocol and a proposed Federal Register notice publishing this information for public comment for 4 consecutive weeks according to the Atomic Energy Act. (c) The Regional Office in which the State is located will- (2) e Invite inspectors from the State seeking an agreement to accompany regional staff on inspections conducted in that State prior to the agreement. (a) e Meet with representatives of the State seeking an agreement to describe and explain licenses and files that will be transferred to the State. (b) e Assure, to the extent practicable, that licensing and inspection backlogs are as small as possible for licensees in the State seeking an agreement. (c) e Coordinate the transfer of license files and other appropriate material when agreement is effective. (d) e Transfer license files for the remaining categories of licensees to the Agreement State if the perforrnance of the program is adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with the NRC programs, in accordance with the phased agreement protocol. (e) Process Sequence for New Agreements (C) The typical sequence for NRC in processing a request for an agreement is summarized below: e Receive a letter of intent from the Governor of the State interested in an agreement with NRC. (1) 2
1 i , i l A L e Provide guidance to the State on the necessary elements of an Agreement !A ,, , , Stpte gogr9m and its 2Dasgd impigmgntatiort. irtcluding draft legisJation, regulations, and program description. (2) j t
- e Receive and review the request for an agreement from the Governor, the j program description, and necessary program elements. (3) e Transmit and resolve any outstanding items with the State regarding the
! . proposed agreement request. (4) i o Prepare Commission Paper on the proposed agreement request, including staff l assessment and Federa: Register Notice with the proposed agreement and l ' phased implementation protocol for public comment. (5) i i l j e Publish Federal Register Notice with the proposed agreement and protocol for public comment for 4 consecutive weeks according to the Atomic Energy Act. l l (6) I j e Prepare Commission Paper that analyzes and responds to public comments and i provides staff recommendations on the agreement for final approval by the . I 1 Commission. (7) e Prepare approved agreement for the signature of the Chairman and Governor l upon Commission approval and arrange signing ceremony. (8) e Arrange all post ~ signing coordination for the orderly transfer of regulatory l 1 authority under the effective agreement according to the implementing ! protocol. (9) Standard Agreement and Phased implementation Protocol (D) i The standard agreement describes the categories of materials to be regulated by the J State and the effective date of the agreement. (1) The protocol to the standard agreement deals with phased implementation of the effective agreement and defines the categories of licenses for each implementation phase. (The Agreement itself would identify the dates at which the new Agreement State would assume authority over certain categories of licensees, i.e., the implementation dates for the phases). In the initial phase, the State will exercise full regulatory authority over categories of licensees of less regulatory complexity. The remaining categories will be transferred to the Agreement State's jurisdiction at the date fixed in the Agreement for the implomentation of the second phase. (2) 1 O 3

j ATTACHMENT TO SECTION 274B AGREEMENT, WITH [ State / Commonwealth) PROTOCOL FOR PHASED IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AGREEMENT INTRODUCTION A formal phased implementation process, during which a [ State / Commonwealth) assumes authority over smaller licenses of less regulatory complexity in the initial phase, is advantageous to both NRC and an Agreement State. It provides NRC an opportunity to carry out an orderly transition of licensed activities to the (State / Commonwealth). It may also help to identify any areas of the State's prograrn that require additional guidance from NRC before the State assumes full responsibility over all activities covered under the Agreement. It provides new Agreement States an opportunity to gain experience with their program prior to having responsibility for more complex licenses. PROCESS Therefore, upon the effective date of IState/ Commonwealth) Agreement, NRC and (State / Commonwealth) will use a phased implementation process for transfer of the licenses. i e in the initial phase, which will consist of [ time frame-example: 1 yearl the [ Statal will assume full regulatory authority over priority 3 -7 groups of licensee programs as classified under inspection Manual Chapter 2800 for the categories of l lbyproduct, special nuclear material or source material as appropriatel. During this l phase, the State / Commonwealth will perform all regulatory functions for the l transferrd licenses. l e NRC will continue to perform all regulatory functions for the priority 1 and 2 groups of licensee programs (as classified under Inspection Manual Chapter 2800) which have not been transferred. The [ State / Commonwealth) will be invited to observe all NRC inspections of priority 1 and 2 licensee programs conducted by NRC during this period for those programs under the Agreement. l e To assist in the phased implementation, NRC will conduct a review of the program (under the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program) prior to the date fixed in the agreement for implementation of the second phase to ensure the IState'a/ Commonwealth's] program continues to be adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with NRC's regulatory program, e Ori[datel, the remaining groups of licensees (i.e. the priority 1 and 2 licensee prWrams) will be transferred to the [ State /Cornmonwealth).

Dear Mr. Bangart:
We have enclosed the report of the Joint NRC - Agreement State Working Group for Development of Implementing Procedures for the Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs (Group). The report i outlines the Group's activities on this project since its formation in October l 1995 and has appended to it several attachments: the Group's charter, the { Group's recommendations for revisions to the Policy Statement, and a draft
- Management Directive and its accompanying handbook. The appendices to the
, handbook are the flow chart used to make compatibility and adequacy decisions i and tables which present the results of the Group's analyses of 10 CFR parts ! and program elements which are applicable to the regulation of agreement ! materials. The Management Directive and handbook contain the implementing { procedures for the Policy Statement. The Group proposes that Appendix B to the handbook be maintained by the Office of State Programs as a separate i document to facilitate its revision when new rules are adopted without having j to revise the Management Directive and handbook. It is important to note that the report and implementing procedures, as written, reflect NRC's current policy of requiring States to adopt certain j compatibility requirements in the form of rules, rather than allowing another
- form of legally binding requirement. The Office of General Counsel currently j is reviewing this issue and, therefore, this approach in the Policy Statement and the implementing procedures may be subject to change, i We have also included a second copy of the 10 CFR tables which show the l compatibility or adequacy designation assigned by the Group using the Policy Statement as well as the compatibility designation assigned under the B.7 Procedure or determined from Statements of Consideration. The Group believes that this tecond set of tables will be useful to staff during their review process, a; well as for the Commission wun they receive the final SECY paper and recounsnds that it is transmitted to them. The Group will be available to help resche any consents received during the review process prior to transmittai to the Commission.

SUMMARY
t ! This report describes the activities of the Joint NRC-Agreement State Working Group for i Development of implementing Procedures for the Fircal Policy Statement on Adequacy and j Compatibility of Agreement SWe Procmms. TW report nutRnec th;.purpore of the, Working . , , l Group and why it was formed, as well as administrative issues such as membership, meetings
- and interactions with other individuals. The Chatter of the Working Group that identifies the j scope of work and the milestone schedule is included as Attachment 1 to this report.
j in developing implemenbng pmoedures for the Poiscy Statement, the Woding Group identified those parts of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations that were applicable to the ! Agreement States' regulation of agreement material and a list of program elements derived from l the set of indicators contamed in the NRC general statement of policy on " Guidelines for NRC { Review of Agreement State Radiation Control Programs." These regulations and program l elements were analyzed and each was classified as outlined in the Policy Statement. These i classifications were based on criteria developed by the Working Group to facilitate the l ! classification process and to help ensure consistency in the decision-making process. I i j During its deliberations, the Working Group concluded that there were certain regulations that
- would not be required for compatibility pursuant to the Policy Statement but, nonetheless, would have a significant health and safety funchon within the State. In view of this, the Working Group l
- expanded its classification criteria to identify explicitly those regulations that it considered necessary to maintain protection of public health and safety.
l 4 The Working Group drafted implementing procedures for the Policy Statement and these are contained in a new management directive and its associated handbook. The management directive provides guidance to staff on how to apply the policy in making a determination on O whether an NRC requirement or program element is required in an Agreement State program for purposes of compatibility or health and safety. Each applicable Part of 10 CFR and each major program element with its compatibility or health and safety component assignment is contained in the Office of State Programs intemal Procedure B.7 (Revision 1), " Compatibility and Health and Safety Component Classifications for NRC Regulations and Program . Elements." l l In addition to the major issue of whether the Commission should require Agreement States to ; adopt the essential objectives of certain regulations for the purposes of health and safety, the Working Group identified several other issues associated with the Policy Statement or the implementing procedures and that are described for Commission consideration and approval. In conclusion, the Working Group recommends that the revisions to the Policy Statement and the implementing Vocedures be sent to ari tts Agreement States and other interested parties for comment before final approval by the Commission. 1 0
2.0 PURPOSE AND FUNCTION OF THE JOINT NRC AGREEMENT STATE WORKING GROUP FOR DEVEd OPMENT OF IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES FOR THE FINAL l POLICY STATEMENT ON ADEQUACY AND COMPATIBILITY OF AGREEMENT STATE PROGRAMS (Working Group) W
2.1 Background
( On May 3,1995, NRC staff submitted the " Final Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibaldy of Agreement State Programs"(Policy Statement) for Commission review and approval. By a Staff Requirements Memorandurn dated June 29,1995 (SRM), the Commission approved the Policy Statement, but disapproved implementaten of the Policy Statement until implementin0 procedures were finalized. In addition, the Commission recognized that some minor changes may result after the development of the implementing procedures and directed 4 the staff to resubmit the Pokey Statement, along with the implementing procedures, to the Comtmssion for final approvskThe staff vtas also dwected to consider the comments on the Commissioners' vote sheets in carrying out these schons. k.2 Purpose A working group consisting of officials from Agreement States and from the Nuclear Regulatory l Commission (NRC) was formed in October 1995 to respond to Commission direction in the i SRM to develop implementing procedures for the Policy Statement. The Working Group developed a charter that identified (1) the scope of work it was to perform and (2) a list of tasks to be accomplished, and (3) a milestone schedule. A copy of the charter is appended as Attachment 1. - l 2.3 Working Group Members Members of Working Group were: Cardelia H. Maupin (NRC Office of State Programs) and Robert R. Kulikowski, Ph.D. (New York City) as co-chairs representing the NRC and Agreement States, respectively; Roland Fletcher (Maryland); Aubrey Godwm (Arizona); Hampton Newsome (NRC Office of the General Counsel); John Telford (NRC Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research); and Richard Woodruff (NRC Region 11). Paul Lohaus (Deputy Director of the NRC Office of State Programs) served as a resource representative. Robert Kulikowski resigned from the New York City radiation control program effective July 19,1996, before all of the Working Group's tasks had been completed; however, he continued to serve the Working Group as a resource representative. Aubrey Godwm was elected to replace Robert Kulikowski as the co-chair from the Agreement States until the group had completed its work. 2.4 Working Group Meetings The Working Group convened th " face to face
- meetings that were announced in advance on the NRC Public Meeting Notice System. The meetings were open to the public and Workmg Group products were made publicly available in the NRC Public Document Room. The Working Group met initially on November 1 and 2,1995 in Chicago, Illmois, in conjunchon with the annual NRC All Agreement States Meeting. All subsequent Working Group meetings were held at NRC Headquarters in R3ckville, Maryland.
2
i I in addition, the Wortung Croup heki 15 conference calls to discuss its work. These conference calls also were announced on the NRC Public Meeting Notice System and members of the public were invited to participate. Conference room space at NRC Headquarters and at the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (4814 South 40th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85040) was l reserved for persons wishing to participate by telephone in the Working Group conference calls. i j Although all meetmes and telephone conferene a calls were publicly noticed, only tie first l meeting held in Chicago was attended by secfone outside the Working Group. Only members of j the Working Group participated in meet;ngs and calls that followed the first meeting. 2.5 Selected Peer Review l i in June 1996, the Working Group essentially had completed its review of regulatsons in Title 10 i of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and had prepared d sft implementing procedure I documents. At that time, the draft documents and reviews of specific regulations were sent to a l selected group of NRC and Agreement State personnel for prelimmary comment and feedbacit t ! Staff in the NRC Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) and in the l Agrer, ment States of Illinois, South Carolina, and Texas were asked to comment and provide i feedt ack on the criteria developed and how the criteria were applied by the Wortung Group to j assign compatibility components to a limited number of parts of 10 CFR. 1 { The Working Group held a telephone conference call with NMSS staff to receive comments and i mach of the three states submitted written comments. The Working Gmup considered these in further deliberations and, where appropriate, incorporated them into the draft documents. Because of the importance of the Policy Statement to NRC and Agreement States and because j of the level of interest expressed by the States, the Working Group concluded that the ! implementing procedures (management directive and handbook) should be transmitted to the j Agreement States for comment before the Commission gives its final approval to implement the i Policy Statement. Working Group members have indicated that they will be available to resolve l comments from the Agreement States and other interested parties. E i 3.0 APPROACH AND CLASSIFICATION PROCESS FOLLOWED BY THE WORKING ) GROUP 1 l: 3.1 Approach j in, developing the implementing procedures for the Policy Statement, the Working Group's first
- task was to identify Commission regulations and program elements that were applicable to the j i Agreement States' regu!ation of agreement materials. Initially, the Working Group examined all
)
parts of 10 CFR on a part by part basis. Those parts that were applicable to States' regulation ! I of agreement materials were analyzed subsequently on a section by section basis. The Working Group addressed all applicable final rules published in the Feders/ Registerthrough July 31,1996. To identify program elements, the Working Group began with the set of indicators contained in the NRC general statement of policy on " Guidelines for NRC Review of Agreement State l Radiation Control Programs.' indicators that were not program elements were not used and l additional program elements not contained in this set of indicators were added to arrive at the l L 3 _________i
4 i . . .. I i f list of program elements in the chart in OSP Intemal Procedure B.7 (Revision 1), " Compatibility ] and Health and Safety Component Classifications for NRC Regulations and Program i Elements? i i i Using the hn wT,f,cesnt approach outlined in the Policy Statement, the Working Group j analyzed the regulations and program elements and assigned a compatibility component to l each. To assist in the process of assigning compatibility components and to help ensure
- consistency in its decisions, the Wortung Group developed a set of criteria for each compatibility j component and constructed a flow chart to guide the applesbon of the criteria.
l ! Dunne its sechon by section analysis of 10 CFR parts, the Working Group identified a number of , regulations that did not meet the criteria for mT.g.0;;y requirements, but that it considered to be integral components of a radiation control program because of health and safety significance. After deliberation on how to address this issue, the Working Group decided to include a new category of regulations in its overall analysis of NRC regulations. The Working Group's rationale for its approach is discussed fully in Sections 3.2 (Classification Criteria - i Compatibility Components) and 3.3 (Classification Criteria - Health and Safety Component) of l this report. I j 3.2 Claulfication Criteria - Compatibiitty Components i I 3.2.1 Background The Policy Statement defines a compatible Agreement State program as follows: l An Agreement State radiation contmlpmgram }s mrmatible with the i Commission's regulatory pmgram when its program does not create conflict, ! duplication, gaps, or otherconditions whichjeopardize an orderfypettom in the mgulation of agreement material on a nationalbasis. l l The Working Group initially developed compatibility classification criteria using this definition i and the three component approach to implementing this definition set forth in the Policy j Statement. Based on the Policy Statemant, the Wortung Group concluded that the i requiremants for compatibility focus pnmarily on the effects of State action or inaction either on ! the regulation of agreement material on a national basis or on other States. As such, the } concept of compatibility does not directly address matters of health and safety within a ! particular Agreement State. Such matters are addressed under adequacy. In addition, { however, the Working Group realized that certain regulations, wheie important for health and safety reasons within the State (e.g., basic radiation protection standards), should be consistent nationwide pnmarily for the purpose of compatibelsty.

} 3.2.3 Ciacussion of Component 3 CrNorie ) 1 3.2.3.1 Background l l The criteria used to assign regulations and program elements to either Component 1 or
- Component 2 are straightforward and, by their nature, are clearly evident from the Policy i Statement. However, criteria for the third compatibility component are more subjective and not explicitly defined by the Policy Statement. This section contains a discussion of the l
considerations used by the Wortune Group to detennene which NRC regulations and program
- elements were assigned to the third compatibility component.
I
- 3.2.3.2 Ce.W rJTi Component 3.s i
i This is the compatibikty component assigned to NRC regulabons and program elements, the l essential objectives of which should be adopted and implemented as legally binding ) requirements (LBRs) by A0reement States to avoid conflict, duplication or gaps. The ! Agreement State LBR need not be identical to the corresponding NRC regulation or program ' element, and indeed may be different, as long as the essential objectives are met. The Policy Statement uses the phrase
- conflict, duplication, gaps." The Working Group i developed several defirwtions and criteria to help it apply this phrase to specific regulations and program elements of NRC.
l i 4 e con #ict means the essential objectives of regulations or pogram elements are difierent and an undesirable consequence is likely to result in another jurisdiction of in the regulation of agreement material on a national basis 4 i e duplicefion means identical regulations or program elements apply to the same i material at the same time (Note: this definition applies primarity to the review of Agreement State regulations by NRC staff.) l e pap means the essential objectives of NRC regulaticas or program elements are ! absent from ths Agreement State program and an unoesirable consequence is ! likely to result in another jurisdiction or in the regulation of agreement materials - j on a national basis l Examples of undesirable consequences referred to under con #ict and pap (above), include, but i are not necessarily limited to: 4 i e exposure to an individualin a different jurisdiction in excess of the basic radiation j protection standards in Compatibility Component 1, above; 1 e undue burden on interstate commerce (e.g., additsonal recordkeeping or training l i requirements); i e preclusion of an effective review and/or evaluation by the Commission of the ! NRC and Agreement State programs for agreement material with respect to j protection of public health and safety;
- e preclusion of a practice in the nationalinterest;
! 7 i
e e a e absence or impairment of effective communicaten; e lack of minimum level of safety for agreement material- containing products distributed nationally;
- e disruphon of regulaten of agreement material on a national basis.
) 3.2.3.3 Compatibihty Component 3 a.S
- This is the compathikty component assigned to NRC regulations, the essential objechvos of
! which must be adopted and implemented by Agreement States with legally bindmg requirements (LBRs) that are at least as stnngent as NRC. ) e A regulaten required by statute where Agreement States are permitted to differ from that of NRC only with requwements that are tnote stringent than those estabbshed by NRC (e.g., the federal Clean Air Act, the Uranium Mill Taihngs Radiation Control Act) j 3.2.3.4 Compatibility Component 3.b This is the compatibility component assigned to NRC regulations and program elements that do ! not meet the criteria of Components 1,2,3.s or 3.a.S and, therefore, do not need to be adopted 3 and implemented by Agreement States for purposes of compatibility. See, however, Section 3.3, below, i 3.2.3.5 Component 3 c This category ' identifies those regulations and/or program elements that are adopted and
, implemented by an Agreement State radiation control program, but that are not addressed by
- NRC in its regulations or program elements.
I All regulations and program elements, covered by components 3.b and 3.c, above, when
- adopted by an Agreement State should not (1) create conflict, duplication, gaps as identified
, above; (2) preclude a practice in the nationalinterest; or (3) preclude the ability of the Commission to evaluate NRC and Agreement State programs for agreement materials with respect to protection of public health and safety. 3.3 Classification Criteria - Health and Safety Component
- 3.3.1 Background
- The Working Grcup initially reviewed NRC regulations and program elements solely to assign a 4
each to a compatibility component. For those NRC regulations not required for compatibility pursuant to the general criteria of the Policy Statement, Agreement States would im a'Je to determee whether or not they would be adopted, i.e., no specific regulations would be required other than for the purpose of compatibihty. However, during this process, the Working Group
- concluded that there were certain regulations that are not required for compatbikty pursuant to j the Policy Statement but, nonetheless, have a significant health and safety function within the
- State. The Working Group noted that the Policy Statement indicates that Agreement States e e I
i
! should have legally bindmg requirements in order to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety. The following language is quoted from the Policy Statement section on adequacy' In ackkbon, the State abouid have exis6ng legally enforceable measures auch as , generally apptocab6e rules, Noense provisions, or other appropnate measures, l necessary to aHow the State to ensure adequate protechon of the pubHc health l and safety in the regulation of agreement materials in the State. The Draft Policy Statemord for Agreement State Adequacy and Compatibility (see SECY 349, December 21,1993) notes that the specific regulations that should be required for j adequacy were to be determined from a comprehensive analysis of the Commission's ! regulations. However, the final Pohey Statement did not appear to address the eppR.Mity of { adequacy to regulations in a spedf.c way. 1 The Working Group expanded its classification criteria to identsfy explicitly those regulations 'and j l j program elements that it concluded were needed to mantain pubhc health and safety. These i have been identified in the tables in OSP Intemel Procedure B.7 (Revision 1) by the designation ' l "3.b*" signifying that they are not required for purposes of compatbility (indicated by the 3.b), l but that they are of health and safety significance for the regulation of agreement materitl within ! a State and, therefore, should be addressed by the Agreement State (indicated by the asterisk). l Because of the health and safety implications of this category of requirements the Working l Group believes that the State should adopt the essential objectives of the NRC requirement l through an LBR. Additionally, the Working Group also believes in this case that the State j should have flexibility to adopt a regulation or program element that is more, but not less, j stringent than NRC. t
- The Working Group also concluded that the Policy Statement should be revised to include this
! category of regulations although it is not stricHy a compatibility issue. The Working Group ; further concluded that the absence of one or more of such regulations would not necessarily result in a finding that a State is not adequate to protect public health and safety; the overall finding of adequacy and compatibility is to be determined by the integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) process (see also Sections 4.1 and 4.2, below). 3.3.2 Health and Safety Component C,iteria in making the determination of which regulations should be included in this component, the WorQg Group assigned a regulation to this component if (1) it failed to meet all of the comutibility criteria and, therefore, would be categorized 3.b on this basis and (2) its absence in an Agreement State program could direcoy result (i.e., two or fewer failures') in exposure to an in lividual in excess of the basic radiation protection standards identified in compatibility component 1.
' The concept embodied by "two or fewer failures
- is that if th? essential objecthres of the regulation were not adopted and implemented in a legally binding manner, then an event could occur that would not have taken place were the essential objectives adopted. This alone, or in conjunction with at most one other event, could result in exposure of an indmdualin excess of limits set by basic radiation proteesen standards.
9 1 l l
l . . .. { 3.4 cia.awication prose.a
! The Wortung Group developed an classification process using a flow chart (Appendix A to
] Handbook 5.g) and the classification criteria discussed in Sechons 3.2 and 3.3, above. The i basis of the flow chart was a series of questions that are listed below. Each program element l and regulation was tested by asking these questas in the order given. The answers to these
! questions determined the compatsbikty or adequacy component assigned to each regulation and Program element.
4 1. Do the essenbal objechvos of the regulation or program element address a regulatory area reserved solely to the authority of the NRC7 If the response to the question is 'yes', l ! the compatibihty component is "NRC." if the response to the question is 'no,' then
- proceed to Question 2.
- 2. Do the essential objectives of the regulate or program element address or define a '
basic radiation protechon standard as defined by the Policy Statement or is it a definsbon, term, sign or symbol necessary for a common understanding of radiation protection pnnciples? N the response to this question is 'yes', the compatability component is "1." if the response to the question is 'no', then proceed to Question 3.
- 3. Do the essenbal objectives of the regulation or program elemord address or define an issue that has a significant, direct transboundary implicatm7 ff the response to.this question is 'yes', the compatibility component is "2." if the response to the question is l 'no', then proceed to Question 4.
1
- 4. Do the essential objectives cf the regulation or program element address or define an issue related to UMTRCA, the federal Clean Air Act, or other statute that requires states to adopt regulations that are at least as stringent as NRC7 ff the response to this
- question is 'yes', the compatibility ce,i.penent is "3.a.S." if the response to the question is 'no', then proceed to Question 5.
- 5. Would the absence of the essential objectives of the regulation or program element from an Agreement State program create a conflict or gap? If the response to this question is
'yes', the compatibdity component is *3.a." If the response to the quesh is 'no', then proceed to Question 6.
i
- 6. Would the absence of the essential objectives of the regulatm or program element from an Agreement State program create a situation that could detectly result in exposure to an individual in excess of the basic radiah protechon standards found in compabbility component 17 ff the response to this question is 'no', then the compatibility component
- is *3.b." If the response to this question is 'yes', the health and safety component is
*3.b*.*
4.0 POLICY STATEMENT ISSUES REQUIRJNG CLARIFICATION As directed by the Commission, the Working Group concluded that several portes of the Policy Statement should be clattfied to reflect the implementing procedures. Some portes of i the Policy Statement also were revised based upon guidance provided in the Commissioners'
- vote sheets accompanying the SRM. Other changes were editorialin nature. The details of the Working Group's substantive changes are discussed below.
10
i l i { i l j 4.1. Clarifying the Distinction Between the Terms " Adequacy" and " Compatibility" i After review and disvehn of the final and draft Policy Statements, the Working Group l concluded that the distinction between the terms " adequacy" and " compatibility" should be clarified and emphasized in the Policy Statement. The term " adequacy" refers to an Agreement ; l i State's protection of public health and safety within a particular state. This represents the core l l goal or purpose of an Agreement State's radiation protection program. " Compatibility," on the 1 i other hand, relates to the effects that an Agreement State program's schons or inachons have . l on the regulation of agreement materials on a national basis or in another state. j 1 ! The distinction between the two terms was desenbod in the draft Policy Statement (5g Federal i Register 3726g, July 21,1994). Although the final Policy Statement does not contain an explicit l l ! description of this distmebon, such a distinchon is implied by the Policy Statement's structure. l Wrthout this explicit desenphon in the final Policy Statement, the Working Group oncountered j ! difficulties in applying the terms " adequacy" and " compatibility." The Working Group recommends that additional language, in the form of an another paragraph in the Background i { 1 section, be added to the final Policy Statement to clarify the distachon discussed here. 1 I The Working Group believes that this clarification is necessary in order to help ensure 1 ! consistent application of the policy in the future. The distinchon between the two concepts j creates a clear means to view NRC's approach to Agreement State reviews. For instance, NRC i j probably would not require an Agreement State to adopt identical requirements for the purposes l of adequacy. In other words, Agreement States could be more stringent thati NRC under j l
- adequacy. In considering compatibility, however, NRC can choose to require Agreemem States ,
to adopt identical regulatory provisions in those cases in which consistency is needed as l l indicated in the Policy Statement, notwithstanding the health and safety function of the ; regulation. l The Wortung Group also believes that this ~ approach is consistent with the draft Policy l Statement, the final Policy Statement, and the legislative history of Section 274 of the AEA. As l ! discussed in more detail in the Federal Register notice prepared for the final Policy Statement i (see SECY gS-112), the legislative history suggests that the purpose of compatibility is the i avoidance of conflict, duplication, and gaps caused by an Agreement State program and the i j facilitation c'f uniform basic radiation standards across the country. Both of these considerations l { suggested by the legislative history involve an Agreement State's relationship to other states i and to NRC (i.e., the extemal or nationalimpacts of an Agreement State program). Accordingly, ! the concept of compatibility clearty involves issues related to the impact that an Agreement l
- State program has on the regulation of agreement material on a nationsi basis or in another i State. '
l The Working Group believes that this approach to compatibility, which focusas on the national i ! impacts of an Agreement State program, has a sound policy basis consistent with statutory l
- guidance. The primary purpose of an Agreement State program is the protection of public
! health and safety withan that particular state. These pubiec protection concems reflect the core j goal of any regulatory agency concemed with safety. Given their legal and funcbonal ' responsibilities, Agreement State regulatory agencies have a clear incentive and duty to orotect i
- the citizens of that State. NRC reviews Agreement State schons in this regard under adoquacy. l 1
! The impact that an Agreement State program has on a national basis, however, may not al vays j occupy that same position of importance as does the more immediate concem of public hettth j 11 l I
! and safety withm the State. For example, Agreement States generally would not focus the l emphasis of their efforts on such issues as (1) the need for consistent transportation l requirements, (2) the need for clear communication of radsabon protection pnnciples across the i country, (3) the goal of avoidmg unreasonable burdens on firms operating in multspie states, and ! (4) NRC's need to conduct effective and efficent reviews of A0reement State programs. l Clearty, Agreement States do consider the impact of their programs on other states or on the i nation as a whole. However, the same incentives and pressures that drive the regulation of l public health and safety within the state do not exist in relatson to the effects of the Agreement i State's program on a netonal basis. A.-.Y,;..p/, the type of NRC oversight in the area of
- competitulity as reflected in the new Poicy is justified in order to ensure that A0reement State
- programs reflect these national concoms.
l The Working Group concluded that it is important to emphasize and explain the destanetson j between the concepts of adequacy and .mmpatituisty in order to make it esser to implement the
- Policy in the future. The Working Group further noted that there is some overlap between the coverage of these two concepts. Regulatsons that are required for purposes of compstatnhty
- according to the Policy Statement are, nonetheless, important to have for ensuring the i protection of public health and safety. Because the process that the Working Group used to categorize regulations and program elements addressed wit.p.%iity issues before health and safety issues, regulations that have important health and safety bases and that meet the compatibility criteria are required for compatibility purposes. While not dismissing the health
- and safety significance of such regulatens, the Working Group interpreted the Policy Statement to mean that there were compelling reasons to have certain regulations consistent throughout NRC and Agreement State jurisdictions, e.g., those designated as compatitHkty component 1.
j 4.2 Regulations Required for Purposes of Health and Safety i As discussed in Section 3.3, above, the Working Group concluded that certain regulations in 10 CFR were of health and safety significance for the regulation of agreement material within a State and that the essential objectives established by those regulatons should be required of Agreement States. To reflect this in the Policy Statement, the Wortung Group proposes additional language to be added to the last paragraph in the section on legislative and legal authority. Although no changes to the Policy Statement appear to be needed to address this topic other than thos4 discussed above, IMPEP procedures may need to be modified to incorporate the health and safety regulations into the IMPEP review process if this approach is approved by the Commission. Specifically, the Working Group viewed that adoptson and implementation of j regulations and program elements in this health and safety component by an Agreement State should be addressed in a manner semilar to that used for other performance indscators in IMPEP. For example, the non common performance indscator "1.egislation and Regulations
- could be modified to include how the State has addressed adophon of regulatsons and program elements in this component and this findmg would be factored into the overall adequacy determmation made for the State. This approach would be consistent with that used for performance indicators such as licensing or inspechons, where there is some judgment exercised in assessing the covered actrvibes to support a findmg of" satisfactory."
4 i 12 l
e . ! 4.3 Regulations Outside of Agreement State Jurisdiction i
- The Working Group also identified NRC regulations that involve matters outside of the
~ jurisdiction of the Agreement States. The Policy Statement does not specifically address this issue. As indicated in the attached criteria and procedures, the Working Group assigned the designation "NRC" to such regulations. Although the Wortung Group does not recommend any t changes in the Policy Statement to address this particular issue because junsdictional j hrnetations are clear from NRC's statutory authonty, this issue will be addressed in the specific j implementag procedures found in Handbook 5.9 to Management Directive 5.9. l 4.4 Use'of the Term "Public Dese Umits" i i in disa_=shg Component 1 of the s,.T+e%My section, the Pohey Statement inchcates that the j term " basic radiation protection standards" means public dose limits and radiation protectinn, 2 related concentration and release lenits in 10 CFR Part 20 that are apphcable to all licensees. To avoid confusion regarding the applicability of occupational dose limits, the wortung group recommends that the word "pubhc" be eliminated from this desenpbon so that the meaning of
" basic radiation protection standards" applies to all dose limits, both public and occupational.
4.5 Clartfication for Regulations That Must be at Least as Stringent as Those of NRC A clarifying phrase was added to paragraph a. of the third compatibility component. During Working Group meetings, the reason for indicating that a limited number of Agreement State regulations had to be at least as stringent as NRC was identified as being based in the federal Clean Air Act (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart I rescission issues). Therefore, the Working Group designated as component 3.a.S those regulations required by statute (e.g., the federal Clean Air Act, the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act) and proposes this clarifying change to the Policy Statement. 4.6 Effect of Compatibility The Working Group proposes to add one sentence at the end of the description of the third compatibility component to clartfy that although a State's program is compatible, the State still has an explicit obligation to maintain an aderluate program. 4.7 ' Formatting Changes for the Compatibility Components Finally, the working group recommends some minor formatting changes to the Policy Statement. These changes are: (1) replacing "NRC" with the word " Commission"in the dese ylion of the second compatibility component; and (2) designating items "d." and "e." with bullets to reflect that they are not part of the se'ies of items encompassed by "a." through "c." in the description of the third compatibility component. 4.8 Additional Recommended Changes As noted in Commissioner Rogers' vote sheet, the Working Group recommends adding his suggested footnote for Compatibility Component 1 to ensure consistency with the Commission's decision in the low level waste area to allow Agreement States flexibility to establish pre-closure operational release limit objectives, ALARA goals or design objectives at levels the State deems l l I 13 i 1
!j
.l l l
l necessary or appropenste as long as the level of protection is equivalent to that pnmded by the
! Commission.
l ! s.0 IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES AND CONCERNS ! s.1 use of management Directive s.e and Nandbook s.s 1 l ) Management Dweetive s.g. " Adequacy and Compatibierty of Aeroement State AW.r.,e," and its assoaated handbook describe the alteria and approach that is to be used to assign compatibility and health and safety components to NRC regulations and program elements. , The results of such classifications are tabulated in OSP Intemel Procedure B.7 (Revision 1). A0reement State regulations and program elements that are roogired for purposes of j cer+ ality or health and safety are reviewed by NRC staff in accordance with OSP lutemal , Procedure D.7, " Procedure for Reviewing State Regulations." The results of such reviews for a j parbcular state are provided to the Agrooment State at the time the ataff review is completed and are used by the IMPEP team at the time of the State's next prog am review and this j information is factored into the overall adequacy and competsbility finoing for the State in accordance with Management Directive 5.6
- integrated Materials Performance Evalustson j Program."
1 5.2 Time Frame for Adopting Commission Regulations and Program Elements ' The Working Group considered the appropnate time frame for the adoption of NRC regulations by Agreement States. Under current policy, this time frame is 3 years; however, this is not l based in any statutory requirement, but rather on experience of the time necessary for a State 4 to promulgate and adopt a rule unk its rulemaking process. With respect to this three (3) year , time frame, the Working Group concluded that there is no significant reason to change it. It l should be clarified, however, that the effective date of the State regulation should be within j three years of the effective date of the NRC rsgulation. The Working Group identified that ' certain circumstances (e.g., adophon of a besit, rrdistion protection standard or other rule that ; will have significant impact on the regulation of agree.nent material on a nat4onal basis, such as ! the low-level radioactive waste manifest) may wanant that the effective date of the rule for both l NRC licensees and Agreement State licensees be tfm same. l In addition, the Wortung Group concluded that Commission regulations that have been identified 4 as being required for purposes of health and safety should also be adopted by the Agreement i States with an effective date not later than three years after the effective date of NRC's final rule. With sufficient justification, health and safety consideratior.s may warrant adoptson by the l States in less than the three (3) year time frame in which case concurrent adoption by NRC and l the States, as discussed in the procedmg paragraph, may be the desirable course of action. The Working Group also concluded that program elements that have been designated as
- necessary for maintenance of an adequate and compatible program should be adopted and implemented by the Agreement States within six (6) months of such designation by NRC. If, i
due to other factors, an Agreement State cannot adopt and implement such a program element l i within the six (6) month time frame, then the State and the Commission will agree upon a ' mutually acceptable timetable for adopteon and implementation. 14
t I 1 5.3 Number of Licensees Warranting Development of Regulations l The Working Group considered the issue of requiring certain provisions to be adopted in the form of regulations. The Working Group believed that,in general,if an Agreement State does not have any licensees that would be subject to a parbcular NRC regulation determined to be required for purposes of compatibili'y or health and safety, the State should not be required to adopt or address that NRC regulation. However, if a State were to acquire such a licensee, !' then the provmons of the Policy Sta tement would be invoked and would have to be implemented as described in the hanftbook to Management Direchve 5.9. Similatty, if a State has not assumed authonty under its agreement to regulate in a given area (e.g., uranium mills) i there would'be no requirement to adopt or address NRC regulations or program elements in j that area for purposes of compathility. I in addition, the Working Group concluded that, for the reasons provided below, rules designated ! as required for compatibility should be addressed by Agreement States as reguisbons rathe'r j than as an attemative legally binding requirement in the following circumstances: l ! e the requirement is generally applicable to all licensees; e the requirement is applicable to UMTRCA and LLRW disposal facilities, { regardless of the number of licensees regulated by the State; or e there are four or more materials licenses in the State that would be subject to the regulation. The reasons for using regulations in these cases include: e to assure consistency in the state's regulatory program over time; e O e to assure public (including licensee) participation in the development of requirements applied to multiple licensees; to assure adequate ability to enforce requirements; e reciprocrty; e to facilitate NRC review of programs; and e to ensure national equivalency in distribution of products containing agreement material. Otherwise, the Agreement State may adopt the essential objectives of the NRC rule in any manner that is legally binding and enforceable on the licensee. 5.4 Essential Objectives The Working Group noted that the essential objectives of each NRC regulation or program element required for compatibility or health and safety should be addressed by the Agreement State. The essential objectim of a regulation or program element means the action that is meant to be accomplished by implementing and following the regulation or program element. In some instances, an essential objective may be a numerical value (e.g., restriction of exposures to a maximum value) or it may be a more general goal (e.g., access control to a restricted area). If the essential objectives are not readily apparent or discemible from a source such as the Statements of Consideration, the Working Group believes that the NRC and the States should determine the essential objectives cooperatively. The Working Group recommends that during development of a rule pursuant to Management Directive 6.3, mm Rulemaking Process," the essential objectives of each section of the rule should be identified. O ,s
l . . .. i l 5.8 Future NRC Regulations and Program Elementa l l The Working Group believes that the development and assignment of the ceT+.2ility and i health and safety component of any future NRC regulations or program elements applicable to ! the regulation of agreement materials should be coordinated with the Agreement States. To
- implement the assignment of compathility or health and safety components of future NRC regulations, the Working Group recommends that Management Dirochve 6.3 should be revised to require staff to classify proposed regulat.ons in accordance with penposed Management j Directive 5.9. Part of tnis classification should be the identification of the essental objechves of
! sach section of the regulation. 4 in order to facilitate earty and substanbve input on draft rulemaking and in accordance with Management Direchve 6.3, the staff should use Handbook 5.9 to assign a proposed , compatbility or health and safety component for each draft rulemaking plan when it is provided l l to Agreement States for comment. Also, as appropriate (i.e., for components 3.a. 3.a.S and l
- 3.b*), the essential objechvos should be identif'ed at this time. The staff should evaluate
- comments, incorporate them as appropnate, and desenbe the disposition of those comments when presenting the rulemaking plan to the Commission for approval.
l 6.0 PRODUCTS GENERATED BY THE WORKING GROUP i \ j 6.1 Management Directive 5.9 ' j The Working Group developed a draft Management Directive that outlines the procedures to l ! implement the Policy Statement in accordance with NRC's Management Directive system. The - j management directive and its handbook incorporate the recommendations of the Working Group, as prescribed in this report. The Management Directive is appended as Attachment 3. j 6.2 Handbook 5.9 The handbook to Management Directive 5.9 describes the criteria and the process that will be used to identify which Commission regulations and program elements should be needed for an adequate and compatible Agreement State Program. The complete handbook is appended as Attachment 4. 6.3 Cisssification of Program Elements and Regulations The results of the Work Group's analyses of NRC regulatxms and program elements using the classification criteria and process described in Parts ll and ill of Handbook 5.9 are documented in a revision to OSP intomal Procedure B.7, " Criteria for Compathility Determinations." The revised version will be designated " Revision 1* and will be re titled " Compatibility and Health and Safety Component Classifications for NRC Regulations and Program Elements." 8.7 (Revision 1) should be maintained by OSP and updated at the time a new regulation or program element is adopted. intomal Procedure B.7 (Revision 1) is appended as Attachment 5. 7.0 nut 4BER OF REGULATIONS REQUIRED UNDER THE POLICY STATEMENT COMPARED TO NUMBER REQUIRED UNDER PAST PROCEDURES An analysis was performed to determine the change in number of regulations required for compatibility under the new Policy Statement compared to the number of regulations required 16
l . . I j l for compatibility under past procedures. Overall, there is a decrease in the number of j requirements for the A0reement States from 656 to 447 out of 1180. This represents a 1 decrease from 56% of regulations required soieV for compatibility to 38% of regulations 4 g required either for compatibility or health and safety purposes. This is a not decrease of approximately ofwthird. J No comparison can be made for program elements since these were not required for l compatbility in the past.

I j Joint NRC-Agreement State Working Group for the Development of implementation Procedures for the Adequacy and Compatibility Policy Statement i CHARTER i PURPOSE j A wortung group consistmg of representatives from Agreement States and from the Nuclear j Regulatory Commission (NRC) has been formed to respond to Comemasion direchon in Staff ! Requirement Memorandum (SRM) dated June 29,1995, which instructed staff to develop l implementing procedures for the Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs (Policy Statement). 1 I BACKGROUND i On May 3,1995, the staff submitted the " Final Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility j of Agreement State Programs," for Commission review and approval. In SRM dated June 29, ! 1995, the Commission disapproved implementing the Policy Statement until implementing j procedures are finalized. In addition, the Commission recogmzed that some minor changes
- may result after the development of the implementing procedures and directed the staff to l resubmit the Policy Statement, along with the implementing procedures, to the Commission for i final approval. The staff was also directed to consider the comments on the Commissioners' l vote sheets in carrying out these actions.
l The Policy Statement establishes a basis for adequacy and compatibility determinations for ! Agreement State Progrsms. The Policy Statement indicates that the phrase," adequate to j protect the public health and safety," in Section 274, is synonymous with the phrase, "provides ! reasonable assurance of protection," for purposes of NRC's adequacy determination. An ! Agreement State radiation control program is adequate if admemstration of the program provides
- reasonable assurance of protection of the public health and safety. The level of protection !
j provided by the elements of NRC's program is presumed to be that which is necessary to provide reasonable assurance of protection of the public health and safety. The elements of an adequate program have been developed to reflect those which are essential to ensuring protection of the pubisc health and safety, and are consistent with the elements
- waich will be evaluated as common and nort. common performance indicators under the ;
j integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP). The need for consistency with 4 IMPEP was first identifed by the Commission in SRM dated April 20,1994, which was issued in l
- response to "SECY-93 349 - Draft Policy Statement for Agreement State Adequacy and Compatibility." The SRM provxied the following:
"At the conclusion of the pilot program on the use of common performance i indicators (as identified in SECY-94-011) and following considerations of the i public comments on the draft Policy Statement and, assummg that the idea of using common performance indicators is valid, the staff must reconcile the proposed elements of an adequate program with the common performance mdecators."
2
l l I in addition, SRM dated June 27,1995, in response to "SECY-95 047 - Staff Analysis and Recommendations on the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program," provided, j i i l "The staff should ast,ure, to the extent prachcable, that the five performance l indicators in SECY-95047 are the same as those set forth in SECY-95-112 (proposed Policy Statement on Agreement State Adequacy and Compahbikty) l l with the exception of the first element in the Policy Statement - Legislative and i Legal Authonty- which can be treated separately." ) The Policy Statement lesnbfies five essential elements which an Agreement State Program will l j be requested to implement for an adequacy findmg i i j 1. Legislation and Legal Authonty; l i 1 2. Licensing; i } j 3. Inspection and Enforcement; q 4
- 4. Personnel; and i i
- 5. Response to Events and Allegations. f i L j The Policy Statement estabhshes that the level of protection provided by these elements in an J
; Agreement State Program should be equivalent to, or more stringent than, the level of '
! protection provided by the NRC regulatory program for a finding of adequacy. If the element is l implemented in a manner different from the corresponding NRC element, the NRC would l determine whether the overalllevel of protection of the public health and safety provided by the
- State program is equivalent to, or preste.- than, the level of protection provided by the NRC i program.
1 The Policy Statement also modifies the approach for interpretation of the term " compatible" so l that it is more consistent with the framework and intent of Section 274. The Policy Statement no s l longer treats the term ' compatible" as being solely synonymous with the term " identical." instead, the Policy Statement has a three component approach to the interpretation of the term
" compatible" predicated on the basic assumption that the term " compatible" means consistent or j harmonious. The Policy Statement indicates that an Agreement State radiation control program i
is compatible when its program does not create conflicts, duplication, or gaps and otherwise 4 does not jeopardize an orderly pattem in the regulation of agreement materials on a national basis. l The Policy Statement recognizes that there are a limited number of requirements and elements j of nuclear materials regulation that require a high degree of uniformity from State to State. The l Policy Statement also reflects the posebon that, in most other cases, States would have flexibility i to fashion their own programs and to adopt different requirements and elements, or to administer requirements and elements in a manner different from the NRC, to meet individual State needs or preferences. The Pokey Statement identifies three basic components for determenmg Agreement State compatibility:
- 1. The Agreement State should adopt basic radiation protection standards, and the dose limits in 10 CFR 61.41, that are essentially identical to those of the Comtmssion, unless federal statutes provide the State authority to adopt different standards. The term " basic radiation protection standards" means public dose
( 3
l ! i l j hmits and radiaten protection related concentration and release bmits in 10 CFR j Part 20 that are appbcable to all I;oensees. j ! The State should also adopt, in an essentially identical form, a limited number of definibons, signs, labels, and scientific terms which are necessary for a common underrtanding of radiation protection pnnciples among boensees, regulatory agencies, and members of the pubhc.
- 2. The Agreement State should adopt reguistens essentially idenbcal to those of 4
the NRC for those areas of regulaten that are related to activibes involving ' ! significant transboundary imphcations. It is the Commission's intent to limit this ' category to a sman number of regulabons (e.g., transportation requirements) that directlyinvolve such activities. ! 3. For all other regulations and elements, the Commission wiu apply the following i approach: , l a. The Agreement State should adopt and implement essenbal objectives of ; j certain Commission regulatons and program elements (e.g., QTKJti l procedures) that are important for an Agreemunt State to have in order to l
- avoid confbets, duphcations, gaps, or other conditions whichJeopardcte an ordetty pattem in the regulation of agreement material on a nabonal ,
basis. Such Agreement State regulations or program elements need not ! be identical tu the corresponding Commission regulatens or program elements; in a few cases, however, Agreement State regulations must be at least as stnngent as that of the Commission.
- b. The Agreement State should have flembihty to adopt and implement '
Commission regulations and program elements, in add: bon to those ' necessary to maintain compatibility, as identified in 1,2, and 3.a. above; and
- c. An Agreement State may adopt and implement other regulatens and elements within the State's Jurisdicbon that are not addressed by NRC.
All regulations and elements covered under this third component must be compatible with those of the Commission (i.e., must not create conflict, duphcstion, gaps, or other conditions which jeopardize an orderly pattom in the regulation of agreement material on a national basis). In addition, regulations covered under this third component should not be adopted or implemented in such 'a manner that the State:
- d. precludes, or effochvely precludes, a practice within the national interest without an adequate pubhc health and safety or environmental basis related to radistson protection; or
- e. precludes, or effectively precludes, the ability of the Comtmssion to evaluate the effectiveness of the NRC and Agreement State Programs for agreement material with respect to protechon of pubbc health and safety.
Finally, to foster and enhance a coherent and consistent national program for the retjulation of agreement material, the Commission encourages Agreement States to adopt and implement sermlar reguisbons and program elements which are pattemed 4
j after those adopted and implemented by the Comenssion. I j SCQEE.OEWORK 1 l The common and non-common performance indicators of the integrated Materials Performance ! Evaluation Program (IMPEP) are tied to the adequacy component under the " Policy Statement on ' Adequacy and Compshbikty of Agreement State Programs." The efforts of the Working Group will also l ruflect experience obtained through the interim implementation of IMPEP to ensure ease of application j for the Policy Statement implemenhng procedures when used to conduct Agreement State program ' l
- reviews in developing implementing procedures for the Policy Staternent, the Working Group will
! analyze Commission program elements and regulations and determine which program elements and ! j regulations should be identical and which program elements and regulations an Agreement State should ) l incorporate into its program, but may incorporate in a manner different from the NRC, i.e., assign each to , i a compatibikty component, as necessary. l
- IADEE i
- in development of the implementing procedures for the " Policy Statement on Adequacy and f Compatibility of Agreement State Programs," the Working Group will be performing the followmg j tasks
l j 1. Identification of program elements (excludes regulations) which should be considered as being necessary for compatibility.
- 2. A. Analyze each NRC regulation applicable to the regulation of certain Atomic Energy Act (AEA) materials (those covered by an AEA 274b Agreement) and determine the compatibility component to be assigned to each, as necessary.
1 B. Analyze each program element identified in 1 above, and determine the j compatibility component to be assigned to each, as necessary. 1
- 3. Develop draft implementing procedures for the Policy Statement which address the l following:
A. Regulations necessary for compatibility by Agreement States which should be adopted by the States with an effective date as soon as possible after adoption by NRC, but in no case later than three (3) years following the effective date of the NRC final rule. B. Program elements (other than regulations) that are needed for compatibility by Agreement States withm six months of notification by NRC. However, if adoption of such an eiernent requires public notice and comment pursuant to an Agreement State's Admmistrative Procedures Act, the NRC and the State wi establish a mutually acceptable adoption date. C. Regulations and program elements that are reserved solely to NRC and may not be adopted by the States. D. i. Development of Commission approved guidance for when an Agreement State need not adopt a specific regulation if the State has no licensees that would be subject to that regulation. The guidance will provide that in such cases the State would need to commit to adopt the regulation to 5
- impose the reguisbon through hoense conditions or through other le9 ally bin &ng measures, W an appiscation for that type of license were to be received by the State.
j li. Development of Commission approved guidance for when en Agreement State may adopt and implement regulatory requirements for specific l classes of hoensees, throu0h imposition of the requirement as a license l con & tion or through other legally bin &n0 requirements (e.g. orders),
~
instead of formal reguisbons. The guidance will provide that basic re&stion protection standards in 10 CFR Part 20 and other regulations appbcable to all hoensees that are necessary for compatibility should be adopted by regulatsort E. Recommend modifiestions, including any ad&tional areas that should be covered under IMPEP, as necessary, based upon completed implemenhne procedures. MAJOR MILESTONES .

l t i ! POLICY STATEMENT ON ADEQUACY AND COMPATIBILITY OF ! AGREEMENT STATE PROGRAMS l PURPOSE l This Policy Statement presents the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's policy for the
, determination of the adequacy and compatibility of Agreement State programs established I pursuant to Sechon 274 of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended. This Policy j Statement is intended to clattfy the meanmg and use of the terms " adequate to protect the i pubisc health and safety" and " compatible with the Comrnission's regulatory program" as appised I to the A0reement State program. Tne Policy Statement also describes the general framework j that the Commission will use in determining those NRC elements' that Agreement State j programs should implement to be adequate to protect the pubhc health and safety and to be l compatible with the Commission's program. Fmally, the Policy Statement reflects pnnespies j discussed in the Commission's Statement of Pnnciples and Policy for the Agreement State
{ Program which should be considered in conjunchon with this Pohey Statement. l This Policy Statement is intended solely as guidance for the Commission and the j Agreement States in the implementation of the Agreement State program. This Policy { Statement does not itself impose legally binding requirements on the Agreement States. In i addition, nothing in this Policy Statement expands the legal authonty of A0reement States l beyond that already granted to them by Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act and other j relevant legal authority. Implementation procedures adopted pursuant to this Policy Statement shall be consistent with the legal authorities of the Commission and the Agreement States. BACKGROUND The terms " adequate" and " compatible" constitute core concepts in the A0reement State program authorized in 1959 by Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA). Subsection 274d. states that the Commission shall enter into an Agreement under subsection b., discontinuing NRC's regulatory authority over certain materials in a State, provided that the State's program is adequate to protect the pubhc health and safety and compatible, in all other respects, with the Commission's regulatory program. Subsection 274g. authorizes and directs the Commission to cooperate with States in the formulation of standards to assure that State and Commission standards will be coordinated and compatible. Subsection 274j.(1) requires the Commission to review periodically the Agreements and schons taken by States under the Agreements to ensure comphance with provisions of Section 274. In other words, the Commission must review the actions taken by States under the Agreements to ensure that the programs continue to be adequate to proted pubhc health and safety and compatible with the Commission's program. Section~274'of the"AEA requires that Agreement State programs ~be"both* adequate'to protect the pubhc health and safety" and "ccmpatible with the Commission's program."4These sepayate Andogs should_be based on_conside, ration c[two differe_nt objechvos.2 F irst,g~~ j I

A. AMQUACY l s An Agreement State's radiation control program is adequate to protect the paJblic health . and safety if administration of the program provides reasonable assurance of protection of the l public health and safety in regulating the use of source, byproduct, and small quantities of special nuclear material (hereinafter " agreement materief") as identified by Section 274b. of the AEA. A State radiation co.4 of program for agreement mMerial should contain five essential elements necessary to proview reasonable assurance of protection of the public health and safety. The overalllevel of pmtection of putte health and safety provided by the elements of a State program should be equivalent to, or more stringent than, the level of protection provided by the NRC program. The level of protection pmvided by the elements of NRC's program is
- presumed to be that which is necessary t
- > provide reasonable assurance of protection of the public hem,th and safety.
l The Commission will use t&. five elements, identified below, to define the scope of its reitews of Agreement State programs. The Commission will also consider, when appropnate, O other aspects of an Agreement State program, such as elements or regulations, which appear to affect the program's ability to provide reasonable assurance of public health and safety protection. Such cons 6deration will occur only if concems arise.
- 1. LEGISLATION AND LEGAL AUTHORITY State statutes should:
4
- a. authorize the State to establish a profrem for the regulation of ag1Hement material and provide authonty for the assumption of regulatory responsability under an Agreement with the NRC;
- b. authorne the State to promulgate regulatory requirements necessary is provide reasonable assurance of protection of the public health and safety;
- c. authorize the State to license, inspect, and enfer.e legally birkting ruquirements such as regulations and licanses; and 2
O 9
- a . 3 l d. be otherwise consistent with Federal statutes, as appropriate, such as j Public Law 95 604, The Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA). -
l In addibon, the State should have existmg legally enforceable measures such as > generally applicable rules, license provisions, or other appropriate measures, necessary to l 4 allow the State to ensure adequate protection of the pubisc health and safety in the regulation of ! agrsement materials in the State.

- 2. LICENSING s .
{ The State should conduct appropnate evaluatnam of proposed uses of agreement
- material, before issuing a license, to assure that the proposed licon
- n's operations can be j conducted safely. Licenses should pmvide for a reasonable assurance of pubisc health and i
safety protection in relation to the licensed activities.
- 3. INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT
, The State should periodically conduct inspections of licensed activities involving ! l agreement material to provide reasonable assurance of safe licensee operations and to I l determine compliance with its regulatory requirements. When necessary, the State should take j timely enforcement action against licensees through legal sanctions authorized by State ! statutes and regulations. 5 4. PERSONNEL l ' l The State should Lt 6.ffed with a sufficient number of qualified personnel to implement j j lts regulatory program for the contml of agreement material, i l
- 5. RESPONSE TO EVENTS AND ALLEGATIONS "
l The State should respond to, or,d conduct bmely mspections or investigations of j incidents, reported events, and allegations involving agreement material to ensure continuing j reasonable assurance of nrotection of the public health and safety.
]
l B. COMPATIBlu1Y ; An Agmement State radiation control program is compatible with the Commission's l regulatory program when its program does not create conflict, duplication, gaps, or other ; conditions which jeopardize an orderly pattem in the regulation of agreement material on a ! national basis, in implementing this approach to compatibility, the Commission will use the i following three component approach: i 3 i 1 I l l
i
- 1. The Agreement State should adopt basic radiation protection standards, and the l dose hmits in 10 CFR 61.41 I , that are essenhety identical to those of the l Commission, unless Federal statutes provide the State authority to adopt i different standards. The term " basic radiation protechon standards" means publes dose hmets and radiation protection related concentration and release hmits in 10 CFR Part 20 that are appbcable to aN hoensees.
The Agreement State should also adopt, in an essentially identical form, a hmited number of definibons, signs, labels and scientiSc terms which are necessary for a common understanding of radiation protechon principles among noensees, regulatory agencies, and members of the pubhc.
- 2. The Agreement State should adopt regulations essentia#y identical to those of the NRG Commissiert for those areas of regulation that are related to acfvities involving sigrnfi6snt thisiboundary imp 6 cations. It is the Commission's intent to limit this category to a small number of regulations (e.g., transportation requirements) that directly involve such actsysties.
- 3. For all other regulations and elements, the t'ommission will apply the following approach:
- a. The Agreement State should adopt and implement essential objectives of certain Cormnissioc regulations and program elements (e.g., reciprocity procedures) that are important for an Agreement State to have in order to avoid conflicts, duplecstions, gaps, or other conditsor:s which jeopardize an orderly pattom in the regulation of agreement material on a national basis. Such Agreement State regulatsons or program elemente need not be identical to the corresponding Commission regalations or program elements; in a few cases involving speel6c statutory saraction, however, ~
Agreement State regulationsiivet sho.u..ld. - be at leasisistririgent as that
- b. The Agreement State should have flexibikty to adopt and implement Comrmssion regulatsons and program elements in addition to those necessary to maintam competitukty, as identtsed in B.1, 8.2, and B.3.a above; and
- c. An Agreement State may adopt and implement other regulations and !
elements within the State's junsdicbon that are not addressed by NRC. All regulations and elements covered under this third component must shouki be compatible with those of the Commission (i.e., must should not create ionflict, (The~ Commission 1nteddito~1mplement ~thWoomponenfobnsistenfinilthE^ssi:Esr ~ decision in the LLW area to allow Agrs,ement States Sexibihty to establish pre-cdoeure~~~ operational rolesse limit ot>jechves.

@ precludes, or effectively precludes, a prachoe' within the national l l '
interest without an adequate putsc health and safety or l environmental basis related to radiatson protechon; or h precludes, or effectively precludes, the ability of the Corninission j to evaluate the effectiveness of the NRC and Agreement State j programs for agreement meterial with respect to protschon of , putse health and safety. l "d , t iTo foster and enhance a coherent and consistent natenal program for the reguistion of agreement material, the Comrmssion encourages Agreement l States to adopt and implement similar regulatens and program elements which l are pattemed after those adopted and implemented by the Commission. gndNy, l he fact that an' Agreement State's~prograrrfis" compatible"with'that of the i Commission"does not affect teint State's.' obligation.to'mai.n. ta_in'a_n ad.equale. e - --
- By adopting the critoria for adequacy and compatibility as discussed in this Policy Statement the Commission intends to provide Agreement States with a broad range of flexibilsty In the administration of an individual program. In doing so, the Comrmssion seeks to allow j Agreement States to fashion their programs so as to reflect specific State needs and l j preferences. The Comrmsson intends to minimize the number of NRC regulatory requirements I j that the Agreement States will be requested to adopt in an identical manner as a result of the i compatibility components. At the same time, these compatstnisty components will allow the
}' Commission to ensure that an orderly regulatory pattom for the regulation of agreement material exists across the country. The Commission believes that this approach achieves a proper balance between the desire for Agreement State flexitulity and the need for coherent regulaten of agreement material across the country. I 4 i I
* ' Practice" means a use, procedure, or schvity associated with the application, possession, use, storage, or disposal of agreement material. The term
- practice" is ned in a broad and encompassing manner in this Policy Statement. The term encompasses both general activities involving use of radioactive materials such as industrial and medical uses and specific activities withm a practice such as industrial radiography and brachytherapy.

i e . e i ! Part I lO introaction Overview (A) .l j The Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs (Policy Statement) sets forth the approach that the Commission will use when determining which ofits j regulations and program elements should be adopted by an Agreement State to maintain a j compatible program The Policy Statement also specifies that an Ay4.T. cat State should have j legally binding requirements to ensure adequate protection ofpublic health and safety. This j handbook describes the criteria and process to determine those NRC regulations and program j elements that should bei adopted and implemented by an Agreement State for purposes of , compatibility, as well as for purposes of health and safety. It further describes how NRC staffis j to apply the provisions of the Policy Statement to current and future Agreement State regulations j and program elements. i l Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State ! { Programs (B) 4 4 j. An Agreement State radiation control program is compatible with the Commission's regulatory program when the State program does not create conflict, duplication, gaps, or other conditions
- that jeopardize an orderly pattern in the regulation of agreement material on a national basis. As j a general matter, compatibility focuses primarily on the potential effects of State action or inaction either on the regulation of agreement material on a national basis or on other States.
] The concept of compatibility does not, however, directly address matters of health and safety within a particular Agreement State; such matters are addressed directly under adequacy. l
- Further, basic radiation protection standards and regulations with transboundary implications, j although important for health and safety within the State, should be uniform nationwide for compatibility purposes. (1) l An Agreement State radiation control program is adequate to protect public health and safety if administration of the program provides reasonable assurance ofprotection of public health and safety in regulating the use of source, byproduct, and small quantities of special nuclear material as identified by Section 274b. of the AEA. A subset of one of the five elements identi6ed to help provide such reasonable assurance is legally binding requirements addressing protection of public health and safety within the State. (2)
Based on the Policy Statement, NRC regulations and program elements can be categorized into four components, three of which address compatibility and one of which addresses health and safety. These are summarized below. (3) Approved:(Date) 1 O 1

Compatibuity Composest 1 (a) NRC regulations and program elements classified as Component 1 are those that deal with basic radiation protection standvds and with scientific terms and definitions that are aae* y to 1 understand these cersyis. The language ofsuch regulations and program elements adopted by an Agreement State should be ===-a+iaHy identical to provide uniformity in the regulation of I agreement material on a national basis. ! CompatibBity Composest 2 (b) 1 NRC reyda% and program elements classi5ed as component 2 are those that apply to activities that have direct and significant i. .sbeundary implie=*iaan. An A, .si;; State ] should adopt regulations that have language that is -aaaatiany identical to that ofNRC. Compatibuity Composest 3 (c) NRC regulations and program elements that are classified as Component 3 are those, the essential objectives ofwhich an Agreement State should adopt to avoid conflict, duplication, gaps, or other conditions that wouldjeopardize an orderly pattern in the regulation of agreement material on a national basis. Such Agreement State regulations or program elements need not be identical to the corr ==aaa&ng Commission regulations or program elements (Cs-g+vt 3.a); in a few cases, however, Asixir.ciit State regulations must be at least as stringent as those of the Commission (Component 3.a.S). All other NRC regulations and program elements that are not l classified as ?omponent 1,2,3.a, or 3.a.S are not required for compatibility purposes (Component 3.b). 3 T l Health and Safety Component 3.ba (d) NRC regulations and program elements classified as Component 3.b' are those that are not ' required for compatibility by the criteria of the Policy Statement, but that have a health and safety role in the regulation of agreement material within the State. Because of health and safety considerations, the State should adopt regulations and program elements in this component that are at least as stringent as those ofNRC. 4 Approved: (Date) 2

- l i Part II l
- O criteria for component classification i j Several criteria and definitions are ma=y to determine the compatibility or health and safety 1
! component ofNRC regulations and program elements These are established in this part and are ] to be used in conjunction with the series of questions in Part III and the flow chart in Appendix ! i A. 1 ! Definition (A) i i The essential objectiw of a regulation or program element means the action that is to be i j accomplished by impl==% and following the re% or program element. In some { j instances, the essential objective may be a numerical value (e.g., restriction ofexposures to a l maximum value) or it may be a more general goal (e.g., access control to a restricted area). l 1 Criteria (B) Compatibility Component 1 (1) To be classified as Component 1, an NRC regulation is to be applicable to all licensees and is to be a dose limit or a related concentration or release limit (basic radiation protection standard), a scientific tenn, definition, sign, or label that is necessary to understand basic radiation protection principles. (a) Examples include, but are not necessarily limited to: (b) e public dose limits (e.g.,10 CFR 20.1301) plus any regulation that directly relates to these dose limits (i) concentration and release limits (ii) e occupational dose limits (e.g.,10 CFR 20.1201) plus any regulation that directly 1 I relates to these dose limits (iii) e dose limits in 10 CFR 61 A1 (iv)
- radiation symbol (v) e caution signs and labels (vi) .
e scientific terms (e.g., conventional and Systeme Intemationale units, definitions of types of radioactive material) (vii) e defmitions needed for common understanding (e.g., restricted area, year, stochastic)(viii) l Approved: (Date) 3 O
Compatibility Component 2 (2) To be classified as Ccir.psrant 2, an NRC regulation or program element is to be one that applies to activities that have significant effects in multiple jurisdictions. (a) h Examples include, but are not &=ily limited to: (b)
- transportation regtJ, ..r.ats (e.g., low level r=d% waste manifests, Packaging requirements)(i)
- requirements for approval of products that are distributed nationally (e.g., sealed sources and devices)(ii) e definitions of products (e.g., sources and devices) that licensees routinely transport in taultiplejuriadihe (iii) .
Compatibility Component 3.s (3) l To be classified as Component 3.a, an NRC regulation or program element is to be one, the essential objective of which an Agreement State should adopt to avoid conflict, duplication, or , gaps in the regulation of agreement material on a national basis and that, if not adopted, would l result in an undesirable consequence. (a) The following definitions of conflict, duplication and gap and the examples of undesirable consequences provide additional guidance for classifying regulations or program elements as Compatibility Component 3.a. (b) ; Conflict means the essential objectives ofregulations or program elements are different and an undesirable consequence is likely to resuh in anotherjurisdiction or in the regulation of agreement material on a national basis. (i)
- Duplication means identical regulations or program elements apply to the same material at the same time. Note: this definition applies primarily to review of Agreement State regulations. (ii)
- Gap means the essential objectives ofNRC regulations or program elements are absent from the Agreement State program and an undesirable consequence is likely to result in anotherjurisdiction or in the regulation of agreement materials on a national basis. (iii)
Examples of undesirable consequences include, but are not necessarily limited to: (c)
- exposure to an individual in a different jurisdiction in excess of the basic radiation protection standards established for compatibility under Component 1, above; (i)
Approved:(Date) . 4
4 e undue burden on interstate commerce (e.g., additional recordkeeping or training i requirements); Gi) e preclusion of an effective review or evaluation by the Commission of the NRC l i and Agreement State programs for agreement material with respect to protection l ofpublic health and safety;Gii) e preclusion of a practice in the national interest; (iv) ( j e absence or impairment of effective communication; (v) J l e lack of minimum level of safety for agreement material - containing products l distributed nationally;(vi)
- e disruption of the regulation of agreement materials on a national basis. (vii) s Examples of regulations in this E =;-r include, but are not necessarily limited to

- e radiation surveys for industrial radiographers and well-loggers (ii)
{ e documents and records required at temporary job sites. (iii) l l Compatibility Component 3.a.S (4) l To be classified in Component 3.a.S, the NRC regulation or program element is to be one that is , promulgated pursuant to a statute where the Agreement State must establish requirements that l are at least as restrictive as those of the NRC. (a) , 1 l Examples include, but are not ===== ily limited to, NRC reguistions adopted pursuant to: (b) i O a the federal Clean Air Act (i) j . e the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act. (ii) i l Compatibility Componest 3.t;(5) 4 j To be classified as Component 3.b, an NRC regulation or program element is to be one that does i not meet any of the criteria of Components 1,2,3.a, or 3.a.S, above.

if ! Part III iO i component Classification Process for NRC Regulations and Program Elements The protocol to be used to assign the compatibility or health and safety component to NRC j regulations and program elements is diagramed in the flow chart in Appendix A. The basis of j the. flow chart is a series of questions that are listed below. Each program element and regulation j is to be tested by asking the series of questions below in the order given The answers to these j questions determine the compatibility or health and safety component for each NRC regulation
- or program element. (A)
Question (1) Do the essential objectives of the regulation or program element address a ! regulatory area reserved solely to the authority of the NRC? If the response to the ! question is 'yes', the compatibility component is "NRC." If the raepaana to the
- question is 'no,' then proceed to Question (2). (1) i i Question (2) Do the essential objectives of the regulation or program element address or denne a basic radiation protection standard as defmed by the Policy Statement or is it a de6nition, term, sign, or symbol needed for a common understanding of radiation protection principles? If the response to this question is 'yes', the compatibility component is "1." If the response to the question is 'no', then proceed to Question (3).(2)
Question (3) Do the essential objectives of the regulation or program element addren or defme an issue that has a significant, direct transboundary implication? If the response to this question is yes', the compatibility component is "2." If the response to the l l question is 'no', then proceed to Question (4). (3) Question (4) Do the essential objectives of the regulation or program element address or define an issue related to UMTRCA, the federal Clean Air Act, or other statute that requires states to adopt regulations that are at least as stringent as NRC? If the response to this question is 'yes', the compatibility component is "3.a.S." If the response to the question is 'no', then proceed to Question (5). (4) Question (5) Would the absence of the astini objectives of the regulation or program element from an Agreement State program create a conflict or gap? If the response to this question is 'yes', the compatibility component is "3.a.". If the response to the question is 'no', then proceed to Question (6). (5) Approved: (Date) 7
Question (6) Would the absence of the ===-aM objectives of the regulation or program element from an agreement state program create a situation that could directly I I result in exposure to an individual in excess of the basic radiation protection standards found in compatibility component 17 If the response to the question is
'no', then the compatibility component is *3.b." If the response to this question is
'yes', the health and safety component is '3.b*." (t) i I

$l '
Current Agreement State Regulations and Program Elements (A) NRC regulations that had not been required for e=-t 2%y awOg to OSP Intemal Procedure B.7, " Criteria for Cymy Deterininstians " but are required under the new Policy Statement abould be adopted by the States with an effective date within three years of the effective date of the Policy Statement and implementing procedures. (1) NRC regulations that had been required for compatibility wuig to B.7, but will act be required under the Policy Statement do not require any action by the States. (2) In addition to the foregoing, if an Agreement State's regulations had been evaluated using OSP Internal Procedure B.7, and NRC's program review procedures prior to the effective date of the Policy Statement and found: (3) e to be w.i,.dble, then no further action is required by the State; (a) e to be not compatible, then the incompatible regulation should be changed to conform to the Policy as mdhiously as possible, but not later than three years after the Policy's effective date; (b) e 'not to have adopted a regulation still required by the Policy, then the regulation should be adopted as expeditiously as possible, but not later than three years after the Policy's effective date or other date set by the Commission. (c) Program elements had not been required previously. Those program elements required under the new Policy Statement should be adopted and ;G=med by the States within six months of the effective date of the Policy Statement and implementirs procedures. If, due to other factors, an Ay ss.t State cannot adopt and implement such a program element within the six month time frame, then the State and the Commission will agree upon a mutually acceptable timetable for adoption and implementation. (4) Future Agreement State Regulations and Program Elements (B) General (1) Any changes to Agreement State regulations after the effective date of the Policy Statement are to conform to the Policy Statement and imphT. w. dog procedures set out in this handbook. Approved: (Date) 10 g
i 1 1 j Future Regulations (2) Proposed and final Agreement State regulations for agreement materials that will be submitted to the NRC will be reviewed in accordance with guidance provided in OSP Internal Procedures, l j D.7, " Reviewing State Regulations" and B.7 (Revision 1), "Compau%ility and Heshh and Safety ' Component Assignments for NRC Regulations and Program Elements." Results of the
- evaluation will be transmitted to the State in accordance with OSP internal procedures Note The overall detennination of the adequacy and gebility ofindividual Agreement State
- programs will be made in accordance with Management Directive 5.6, " Integrated Materials i Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP)."
j Future New or Changed Program Elesments (3) NRC staff will review the adoption and implementation of any new or revised program element by an Agreement State in accordance with the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program review procedures set out in Management Directive 5.6 at the time of the next regularly l i scheduled review. l Evaluation of Applications for Agreement State Status (C) j NRC staff will apply the compatibility and health and safety classification criteria in this j handbook when reviewing the regulations and program elements contained in applications for j Agreement State status submitted after the effective date of the Policy Statement. !O f Approved: (Date) 11 i
4 7 PART VI AdditionalImplementing Issues g Use of Manage'ment Directive 5.9 and Handbook 5.9 (A) For IMPEP reviews of States in accordance with Management Directive 5.6, NRC staffwill use Management Directive 5.9 to assess the status of the State's regulations and program elements i with respect to those that should be adopted for compatibility and for health and safety reasons.
- Specific A F .a.
- State regulations will be assessed as they are submitted by the State and a summary report will be provided to the IMPEP team at the time of the State's next program review. However, the overall determination of adequacy and compatibility ofindividual Age.g.: State programs will be made in accordance with Management Directive 5.6, l
" Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program "
Essential Objectives (B) The essential objective of each NRC regulation or program element required for compatibility or for health and safety reasons should be addressed by the Aga.a.: State. If the essential objective is not readily apparent or discernible from a source such as the Statements of l Consideration or rulemaking plan, NRC and the States should determine the essential objective cooperatively. l I Essentially Identical Language (C) g Certain regulations required for compatibility should be adopted by Agreement States in identical or essentially identical language. Iflanguage is used by an Agreement State that differs in any significant respect from that used in NRC regulations, the State should justify the equivalency of the language An --=$ ofsuch language substitution that would not be considered significant would be use of the term " deterministic" in place of the term"non-stochastic." In this case, the former term is one commonly accepted in the intemational radiation protection community. Further, the adoption by States ofmore recent technical information (e.g., with respect to reference man)is to be viewed as being essentially identical Fm' ally, changes to reflect increased scope of State authority (e.g., use of the term " radioactive material" in place of the term " byproduct mateiial") or.wordmg needed to conform to State ed.i.:..:.u.tive procedures (e.g., use of State agency name in place of" Commission") also would not be considered significantly different. Number of Licensees Warranting Development of Regulations (D) There are general situations where an Agreement State would not be expected to address one or more required regulations or piogram elements- (1) the State does not have legal authority to Approved: (Date) 12 J
i 4 . . d l regulate the activity or (2) the State has the legal authority to regulate, but has no hcensees or applicants that engage, or propose to engage, in the regulated activity. (1) In general, if an Agreement State does not have any licensees that would be subject to a l i particular NRC r-latian determined to be required for purposes of compatibility or health and safety, the State is not required to adopt or address NRC's rel=+M However, if a State were l j to acquire such alW, then the y.d.;ior.s of the Policy Statement would be invoked and would have to be implemented as desen' bed in this handbook. Similarly, if the State does not i have the authonty to regulate in a given area there would be no requirement to adopt or address NRC r**"I +iaaf or program elements in that area for purposes of {s?Niity or health and i safety. (2)
- Rules designated as required for s=g-4 %y or henhh and safety should be addressed by .
i Agreement States as regulations rather than as an alternative LBR in the following { circumstances:(3)
- the requirement is generally applicable to all licensees; (a) l
- the requirement is applicable to UMTRCA and LLRW disposal l
i facilities, regardless of the number oflicensees regu'4ted by the State; or (b) i e there are four or more materials licenses in the State that wouM be subject to the i regulation. (c) ) j Otherwise, the Agreement State may address the essential objective of the NRC rule in any
- A manner that is legally binding and enforceabb on & hensee. (4) lQ 1
Time Frames for Adoption (E} Commission regulations that should be adopted *,y an Agreement State for purposes of compatibility or health and safety should be adopted by the State in a C. J..ir.e such that the effective date of the State regulation is not later than three years after the efective date of NRC's final rule. Certain circumstance:s (e.g., adoption of a basic radiation protection standard or other rule that will have significant impact on the regulation of agreement material on a national basis, such as the low-level radioactive waste manifest) may warram that the effective date for both NRC licensees and Agreement State beensees be the same. In some cases, with sufficient justification, health and safety considerations may warrant adoption by the States in less than the recommended three year time frame. (1) Program elements that have been designated as necessary for maintenance of an adequate and compatible program should be adopted and implemented by the Agreement States within six months of such designation by NRC. E due to other factors, an Agreement State cannot adopt and implement such a program element within the six month time frame, then the State and the Commission will agree upon a mutually acceptable timetable for adoption and implementation. (2) Approved: (Date) 13
Areas Reserved Solely to NRC (F) Certain regulatory areas cannot be relinquished to the States under 274.b agreements and remain the solejurisdiction of the federal government NRC rules promulgated to regulate these areas are reserved solely to the NRC. However, States may adopt regulations in, or otherwise address, these areas for the purpose ofclarity and ease ofcommunication. States may not adopt i regulations, other LBRs or program elements that would cause the State to regulate such activities Alternative I.4 gally Binding Requirements (G) l Except as speci5ed sti r h in this handbook, Agreement States may adopt the essential I objectives ofNRC regulations designated as w@iy and adequacy requirements by a ~ method other than a regulation Such means should be legally binding on the licensee (s) and enforceable as law. 5-==a!e of such legally binding requirements may include license cer.dMoris (including licensee commitments referenced in " tie-down" condnions), orders or other md=-h.s determined by the State to be legally binding and enforceable.

The policy statement also spectiks that an Agreement State should have legally bindmg requirements to maintain adequate protection of public heahh and safety. 3 1.2.2 Management Directive 5.9, " Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs," describes the criteria and process NRC stafffollow to determine which NRC regulations and . l ! program elements should be adopted by an Agreement State for purposes of compautility as i well as purposes of heahh and safety. In accordance with Management Directive 5.9, each j regulation and program element is analyzed and classified in a specific compatibility or health ! and safety component 1.2.3 OSP Internal Procedure B.7 (Revision 1) has been developed and is maintained by the Office of State Programs to document, for use by NRC and State staf( the assigned compatibility or health and safety component for each rule and yogram element, as determined in accordance with Management Directive 5.9. The component classifications are set out in individual tables as described further below. In addition, Management Directive 5.9 provides that OSP Intemal Procedure B.7 (Revision 1) should be updated pt the time a new rule or program element is adopted. 2 Compatibility & Health and Safety Component Classifications The tables set out in Section 3, below, contain a section-by-section analysis of regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and program elements which are applicable to the regulation of agreement materials.
