UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Ms. Eva Nair, Program Manager Radiological Health Program Air and Radiation Administration Maryland Department of the Environment 1800 Washington Boulevard Baltimore, Maryland 21230

Dear Ms. Nair:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Maryland regulations COMAR 26.12.01.01 Section, Supplement 31, received by our office on February 25, 2022. 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 Numbers (RATS IDs) 2018-1 and 2018-2 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Kiera Saleem on March 11, 2022.

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 Maryland, in response to our comments, and provide a copy to Division of Material Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs, NMSS. The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Maryland 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.

E. Nair 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 Farrah Gaskins at 610-337-5143 (Farrah.Gaskins@nrc.gov).
