UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 July 23, 2021 Mr. David Stradinger, Manager Radiation Control Program North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality 918 E. Divide Avenue Bismarck, ND 58501-1947

Dear Mr. Stradinger:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the North Dakota Radiological Health Rules regulations Chapter 33-10 sections 3.1, 5.1, 7.2, 13.1, 16, 17, 19, 20, and 22, received by our office on July 7, 2021. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and Regulation Amendment Tracking System Identification Numbers (RATS IDs) 2018-1, 2018-2, 2018-3, 2019-1, and 2019-2. as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on July 13, 2021.

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 comment, 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 North Dakota, 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 North Dakota 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.

D. Stradinger If you have any questions regarding the review results, 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 (267) 884-2305 (Michelle.Beardsley@nrc.gov).

Sincerely, Signed by Anderson, Brian on 07/23/21 Brian C. Anderson, Branch Chief State Agreement and Liaison Programs Branch Division of Materials Safety, Security, State and Tribal Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards

-01 In Section 33.1-10-07.2-01, North Dakota states in part that, Any references to the Commission..should be replaced with the department. However, there are multiple references to the Commission throughout Part 35 where this replacement does not apply, e.g., 35.50, 35.51, 35.57, when referencing a master materials license, etc.

North Dakota needs to revise the statement in Section 33.1-10-07.2-01 as indicated above to meet the Compatibility Category B, C, or H&S designations assigned to 10 CFR Part 35.
