UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Dwight Shearer, P.E., Director Bureau of Radiation Protection Department of Environmental Protection P.O. Box 8469 Harrisburg, PA 17105-8469

SUBJECT:

PENNSYLVANIA FINAL REVISIONS TO RATS IDS 2018-1 THROUGH 2023-1

Dear Dwight Shearer:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Pennsylvania regulations Pa. Code Title 25 Chapter 215, received by our office on January 31, 2024. 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 ID) 2018-1 through 2023-1, as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet.

We discussed our review of the regulations with John Chippo on October 17, 2024.

As a result of our review, we identified that Pennsylvania has adopted several requirements that are designated as Compatibility Category NRC and the associated 29 comments are identified in Enclosure 1. 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 comment 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 also identified that the regulations in Title 25 Chapters 216-236 contain additional narrative and duplicative regulations that conflict with the NRC regulations as well as the Pennsylvanias regulations that are incorporated by reference (IBR). Pennsylvania should review Pa. Code Title 25 Article V to eliminate all duplicative and conflicting regulatory provisions. We advise that Pennsylvania use the NRCs upcoming IBR guidance to review their reconciliation language to ensure Pennsylvanias regulations are adequate and compatible with NRCs regulations.

We request that when you revise your regulations to address our comments, 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 and provide a copy to Division of Materials Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs, NMSS.

The SRS Data Sheet in Enclosure 2 summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Pennsylvania 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.
