UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 July 17, 2023 Cason Coan, Director Office of Radiation Control Alabama Department of Public Health P.O. Box 303017 Montgomery, AL 36130

Dear Cason Coan:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Alabama regulations Chapter 420-3-26-.02, received by our office on May 26, 2023. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and Regulation Amendment Tracking System Identification Number (RATS ID) 2019-2 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on June 26, 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 Alabama 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: https://www.nrc.gov/agreement-states.

C. Coan If you have any questions regarding the review, the compatibility and health and safety categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact my staff at AgreementStateRegs.Resource@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Signed by Giantelli, Adelaide on 07/17/23 Adelaide S. Giantelli, Chief State Agreement and Liaison Programs Branch Division of Materials Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
