Dear Mr. Bailey:
We have reviewed the final California regulations in R-53-94. which became effective on September 9,1997. The regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent NRC regulations in 10 CFR Parts 30,31,34,40, and 70. These regulations had also been reviewed as proposed rules, and the results communicated to Mr. Charles Smith on May 7,1997.
~
As a result of the NRC review, we have determined that the California regulations, as adopted, meet the compatibility and health and safety categories established in OSP Internal Procedure B.7.
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 Mr. Richard Blanton of my staff at (301) 415-2322, or by Internet at RLB@NRC. GOV.
