- As requested, we have reviewed the ' draft revisions to 30 TAC 39, 305, and 336 submitted with - ;
, ~ Ms. Rogen,' letter of November 14,1997. The regulations were reviewed by comparison to the j
, equivalent NRC regulations in 10 CFR Part 20 sectior,2 20.1003,20.1009,20.1101, and : j l 20.1401-1406. We limited our review to the four proposed changes listed in Ms. Regers' letter -
f and within those changes to those sections required for compatibility or health and safety.
? As a result of our review we have no comments. Under our current procedure,- a finding that a
- State regulation meets the compatibility criteria of the equivalent NRC regulation may only be -
modo based on a review of the final State _ regulation. However, we have determined that if your !
r- proposed regulations were adopted without significant change, they would meet the :
compr'.ibility criteria as indicated in the OSP Intemal Procedure B 7.

Dear Ms. Vall:

The regulations were reviewed by comparison to the y equivalent NRC regulations in 10 C#R Part 20 sections 20.1003,20.1009,20.1101, and 20.1401 1406. We limited our review to the four propossd changes listed in Ms. Rogers' letter ,
and within those changes to those sections required for ccmpatibility or health and safety.
As a result of our review we have no comments. Under our current procedure, a finding that a State regulation meets the compatibility criteria 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 adapted without significant change, they would meet the compatibility criteria as indicated in the OSP Intemal Procedure B.7.
We request that when the proposed regulations are adopted and published as final regulations, 1 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 Hiohlight Chances 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.
We note that in Appendix G," Acceptable Surface Contamination Levels", of TAC 336.364, the levels indicated for transuranics, Ra-226, Ra-228, Th-230, Th-228, Pa-231, Ac-227,1-125, and 1-129, are a factor of ten less restrictive than tnose provided in Table 1 of NRC's Regulatory Guide 1.86," Termination of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Reactors." While this is not a matter of compatibility at this time, if a future rulemaking were to incorporate an appropriate revision to Table 1, an NRC and Agreement State evaluation would be necessary to determine whether contamination levels should be incorporated in equivalent Agreement State regulations, pursuant to the Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs.
