Procedure Number: SA-107 I. INTRODUCTION This document describes the procedure for conducting reviews of Agreement States using Non-Common Performance Indicator #1, Legislation and Program Elements Required for Compatibility [NRC Management Directive 5.6, " Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program" (IMPEP)].

II. OBJECTIVE To ensure that an Agreement State program does not create any conflicts, gaps, or disruptive duplication in the collective national effort to regulate materials under the Atomic Energy Act.

III. BACKGROUND For Agreement State program reviews, an assessment of both adequacy and compatibility is necessary to ensure that States are not only adequate to protect public health and safety, but compatible with NRC's program as well. This indicator is a non-common perfonnance indicator because it is not applicable for NRC Regional offices.

IV. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES A. Team Leader.

1 The team leader for the review will determine which team member is assigned lead review J responsibility for this performance indicator. The principal reviewer should meet the appropriate requirements specified in Management Directive 5.10, " Formal Qualifications for IMPEP Team Members."

l B. Principal Reviewer.  :

l The principal reviewer for this indicator is responsible for reviewing State legislation and regulations, conducting staff discussions, and documenting information pertinent to the j compatibility of the State. i

V. GUIDANCE A. Scope.

1. This procedure specifically excludes regulations addressing only non-Atomic Energy Act materials.
2. Compatibility category designations can be found in OSP Procedure SA-200, Compatibility Categories and Health & Safety Identificationfor NRC Regidations and Other Program Elements. A regulation or program element should only be adopted as necessary to meet the appropriated category.

B. Evaluation P; cedures. ,

1. The principal reviewer should refer to Part III, Evaluation Criteria, of Management Directive 5.6, " Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program," for specific evaluation criteria.
2. Any changes to State legislation affecting the radiation control program should be reviewed.
3. The status of all regulations adopted in the radiation control program since the last IMPEP review, as well as any regulations currently in the legislative process should be noted.

l C. Review Guidelines.

l

1. The response generated by the Region or State to relevant questions in the IMPEP questionnaire should be used to focus the review. j
2. A printout of the State's regulation status from the Regulation Assessment

{

Tracking System (RATS) should be obtained from the Office of State Programs I (OSP). )

For legislation and program elements required for compatibility, the principal reviewer should evaluate and document their review of the following:

l l

1. Legislation that affects the radiation control program, including any legislation that .

has been passed since the last review, that affects the State's authority to: l

a. Promulgate regulatory requirements necessary to provide reasonable assurance j of protection of public health and safety.
b. License, inspect, and enforce legally binding requirements such as regulations and licenses.
2. State statutes are consistent with Federal statutes, as appropriate.
3. The State has adopted legal binding requirements, regulations, and other program elements in accordance with Management Directive 5.9, " Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs," and the current revisions of OSP Procedures S A-200, Compatibility Categories and Health & Safety identification for NRC Regulations and Other Program Elements, and S A-201, Reviewing State 1 Regulations.
4. The State has existing legally enforceable measures as generally applicable rules, license provisions, or other appropriate measures, neces.;ary to allow the State to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety in the regulation or agreement material.
5. The State's administrative rulemaking process allows for the adoption of regulations in an appropriate amount of time and includes sufficient period (s) for public comment.
6. All regulations required for purposes of compatibility or health and safety are adopted in a time frame so that the effective date of the State requirement is not later than 3 years after the effective date of NRC's final rule. See OSP's Chronology of Amendments for a list of NRC regulation amendments including the NRC effective date. Use the examples in Appendix A as a sample format for listing regulation amendments in IMPEP reports.
