Dear Dr. Shaw:

)

As requested, we have reviewed the proposed regulation amendments to the Louisiana Administrative Code, Title 33, Part XV, Radiation Protection dated August 20,1998. The : i regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent NRC regulations in 10 CFR Parts  :

19,20,30,32, and 34 through 36. - We also discussed our review of the regulations with l Michael Defley on October 5,1998.-  ;

As a result of our review we have no comments. Please note that we have limited our review ,

to regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. Under our current procedure, '

. a finding that a State regulation meets the compatibility and health and safety categories of the

. equivalent NRC regulation may only be made based on a review of the final State regulation.

However, we have determined that if your proposed regulations were adopted without >

. significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health and safety categories established in OSP Internal Procedure B.7.

We request that when the proposed regulations are adopted and published as final regulations, a copy of the "as published" regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in our All Agreement States Letter SP-96-027,"Reauest to Hiahliaht Chanaes to Aareement State

, Reaulations Submitted to NRC for Comoatibility Review" (March 1,1996), please highlight the '

final changes and send one copy in a computer readable format,if possible. [
