Dear Ms. Cardwell:

2 As requested, we have reviewed the proposed Texas regulations in 6S289.201,289.202, 289.252, 289.257, and 289.260. The regulations were reviewed by comparison to the -)

equivalent NRC regulations in 10 CFR Parts 20,30,40, and 71. We also discussed our review $

of the regulations with Ms. Monica Gonzales on November 5,1997. I As a result of our review we have two comments that have been identified in the enclosure 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 incorporating the comments, as appropriate, and without other significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health and safety categories established in OSP Intemal 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 Hichlicht Changes to Aareement State -

Regplations Submitted to NRC for Comoatib"ity Review" (March 1,1996), please highlight the final changes and send one copy in a computer readable format, if oossible.
