UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 2, 2022 Ms. Ashley Forbes, Division Director Radioactive Materials Division Texas Commission on Environmental Quality P.O. Box 13087 Austin, Texas 78711-3087

Dear Ms. Forbes:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Rules, Title 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Chapter 336 (relating to Radioactive Substance Rules), received by our office on May 2, 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) 2018-3, 2019-1, and 2021-1 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on May 25, 2022.

As a result of our review we have no comments. Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. We have determined that the regulations, as adopted, 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.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Texas 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.

A. Forbes 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 Stephen Poy at 301-415-7135 (stephen.poy@nrc.gov).

Sincerely, Signed by Anderson, Brian on 06/02/22 Brian C. Anderson, Chief State Agreement and Liaison Programs Branch Division of Materials Safety, Security, State and Tribal Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
