UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Mr. Alexander Hamm, Supervisor Radiation Control Program Center for Health Facilities Regulation Rhode Island Department of Health 3 Capitol Hill Providence, RI 02908-5097

Dear Mr. Hamm:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Rhode Island regulations 216-RICR-40-20, Radiation, received by our office on May 27, 2022. 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, 2019-2, 2020-1, 2020-2, 2020-3, 2021-1, and 2021-2 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on June 7, 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 Rhode Island 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:
