Dear Mr. Wiley:
Given the significance of the revised 10 CFR Part 20 rule to both NRC and Agreement State programs, NRC undertook a review of all Agreement State final Part 20 equivalent rules for compatibility with 10 CFR Part 20. The review was conducted as a two step process. The first step involved a review by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), under contrsct with NRC, to identify any differences or inconsistencies between 10 CFR Part 20
+
and each Agreement State cquivalent rule. A copy of the two volume ORNL report, dated November 8,1994, documenting its staff review of the Nebraska final 10 CFR Part 20 equivalent rule, is enclosed for your information and use (Enclosure 1) NRC staff first evaluated the ORNL report to determine if any potentially significant health and safety issues were identified that required immediate attention, if there were none, NRC staff then conducted, as resources permitted, a detailed review of the differences and inconsistencies identified by ORNL for compatibility and edequacy issues that should be brought to your attention for routine action.
The NRC revia'u focused on those provisions of the Nebraska rule that are required for compatibility or for health and safety under the new adequacy and compatibility pol'cy statement approved by the Commission by Staff Requirements Memorandum dated June 30,1997 (Enclosure 2 describes the new compatibility categories). The NRC review concluded that the Nebraska 10 CFR Part 20 equivalent rule meets the compatibility and health and safety categories of the new policy.
If you have any questions regarding the compatibility criteria, the NRC regulations used in the review, or the Oak Ridge report, please contact me at (301) 415 2326 or Ms. Cardella Maupin of my staff at (301) 415 2312, or INTeiRNET: CHM @NRC. GOV.

A=
Basic radiation protection standard or related definitions, signs, labels or terms necessary for a common understanding of radiation protection principles. The State program element should be essentially identical to that of NRC.
B=
Program element with signMant direct transboundary implications. The State program element should be essentially identical to that of NRC.

These are NRC program element areas of regulation that cannot be relinquished to Agreement States pursuant to the AEA or provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The State should not adopt these program elements.
H&S =
Program elements identified as H&S are not required far purposes of compatibility; however, they do have particular health and safety significance. The State should adopt the essential objectives of such program elements in order to maintain an adequate program.
