UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 4, 2020 Ms. Stacey L. French, P.E., Director Division of Waste Management Bureau of Land and Waste Management Department of Health and Environmental Control 2600 Bull Street Columbia, SC 29201

Dear Ms. French:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the South Carolina Radiological Health Rules 61-63, Title A, received by our office on October 23, 2020. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and the requirements of Regulation Amendment Tracking System Identification Number (RATS ID) 2015-3 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Lynne Garner on October 30, 2020.

As a result of our review, we have one comment that has been identified in the enclosure.

Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. We have determined that if these regulations are revised, incorporating our comments and without other significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health and safety categories established in the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) Procedure SA-200, Compatibility Categories and Health and Safety Identification for NRC Regulations and Other Program Elements.

We request that when you revise your regulations to address our comments, a copy of the as published regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in NMSS Procedure SA-201, Review of State Regulatory Requirements, please highlight the location of any changes made by South Carolina, in response to our comments, and provide a copy to Division of Materials Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs, NMSS. The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other South Carolina regulations, as indicated. Please let us know if you note any inaccuracies, or have any comments on the information contained in the SRS Data Sheet. This letter, including the SRS Data Sheet, is posted on the NMSS State Communication Portal: https://scp.nrc.gov/rulemaking.html.

S. French 2 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 Michelle Beardsley, State Regulation Review Coordinator, at (301) 415-0275 (Michelle.Beardsley@nrc.gov) or Monica Ford at (610) 337-5214 (Monica.Ford@nrc.gov).

Sincerely, Brian C. Digitally signed by Brian C. Anderson Anderson Date: 2020.11.04 16:53:58 -05'00' Brian Anderson, Chief State Agreement and Liaison Programs Branch Division of Materials Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards

71.106; and 71.135 in SC regulation 2.22.1, however, SC has also adopted new regulations incorporating equivalent language to those NRC regulations. To avoid duplicative requirements, SC needs to add these sections to the list of those not adopted by reference (i.e., SC regulations 2.22.5, 2.22.6, 2.22.7, 2.22.8, 2.22.9, 2.22.10, 2.22.11).

SC needs to make the changes as stated above in order to meet the Compatibility Category B designation assigned to 10 CFR 71,17, and 71.21, and the Compatibility Category C designation assigned to 10 CFR 71.91(c) and (d), 71.101(a)(b) and (c)(1), 71.103(a), 71.106, and 71.135.
