Dear Mr. Ouillin:
As requested, we have reviewed the proposed revisions to Part 3, Licensina of Radioactive Materials, and Part 4, Standards for Protection Aaainst Radiation. dated January 7,1999.
The proposed revisions are in response to the amendments, " Radiological Criteria for License Termination," (62 FR 39057, effective August 20,1997). The regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent NRC regulations in 10 CFR Parts 20 and 30. We discussed our review of these regulations with Mr. Tom Pentecost of your staff on February 10,1999.
As a result of our review, we have five 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 and without other significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health and safety categories established in OSP Procedure SA-200 (formerly 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 OSP Procedure SA-201 - Review of State Reaulations (November 10,1998), please highlight the final changes and send one copy in a computer readable format, if possible.
If you have any questions regarding the comments, the compatibility and health and safety categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact me or Ms. Cardelia H. Maupin of my staff at (301) 415-2312 or you may e-mail Ms. Maupin at CHM @ NRC. GOV.
