UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 February 10, 2023 Richard S. Blackwell Senior Environmental Scientist LA DEQ/OEC/ERSD/Radiation Section Post Office Box 4312 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821-4312

Dear Mr. Blackwell:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality rules in the Louisiana Administrative Code, Title 33, Part XV, Radiation Protection, received by our office on January 20, 2023. 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, 2018-3, 2019-1, 2019-2, 2020-1, 2020-3 and 10 CFR Part 34, as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on February 3, 2023.

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 Louisiana 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.

R. Blackwell 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 (301) 415-0275 (Michelle.Beardsley@nrc.gov) or Joe OHara at (301) 415-6854 (Joe.OHara@nrc.gov).

Sincerely, Signed by Cecere, Bethany on 02/10/23 Bethany K. Cecere, Acting Chief State Agreement and Liaison Programs Branch Division of Materials Safety, Security, State and Tribal Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
