UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Courtney Eckstein, Radiation Program Director Indiana Department of Homeland Security 302 W Washington Street, Room E-208 Indianapolis, IN 46204-2739
SUBJECT:
INDIANA PROPOSED REGULATIONS TO 10 CFR PARTS 19, 20, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 61, 70, 71, AND 150
Dear Courtney Eckstein:
We have reviewed the proposed Indiana regulations 290 IAC 3-1 through 3-18, received by our office on February 3, 2025. These draft regulations are being resubmitted as part of Indianas draft application to become an Agreement State. Indiana has submitted these draft regulations for public comment. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR 19, 20, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 61, 70, 71, and 150 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on March 17, 2025.
As a result of our review, we have one compatibility comment and 14 editorial comments that have been identified in Enclosure 1. A redline version of 290 IAC 3 incorporating these comments is provided in Enclosure 2 for your convenience. Please note the sections cited in the comments refer to the updated sections provided in Enclosure 2.
Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. Under our current procedure, a finding that the Indiana regulations meet the compatibility and health and safety categories of the equivalent NRC regulation may only be made based on a review of the final Indiana regulations. However, we have determined that if your proposed regulations were adopted, incorporating our comments 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 request that when the proposed regulations are adopted and published as final regulations, a copy of the as published regulations be provided to us for review as part of your final application. As requested in NMSS Procedure SA-201, Review of State Regulatory Requirements, please highlight the final changes and provide a copy to Division of Materials Safety, Security, State and Tribal Programs, NMSS.
April 7, 2025
C. Eckstein 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, 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

IAC 3-2-2, Sec. 2. (b) 20 D
Definitions Government agency Indianas proposed regulation 290 IAC 3-1-3, Sec. 3. (a)(7) defines Government agency. Indiana incorporates by reference 10 CFR Part 20 in 290 IAC 3-2-2 Sec. 2. (a) which also includes a duplicative definition of Government agency.
Indiana needs to revise 290 IAC 3 2, Sec. 2. (b)(3) to add Government agency to the list of exclusions from incorporation by reference by making the following revision, 3. 20.1003 (Definitions of Byproduct material, Commission, Decommission, Department, Generally applicable environmental radiation standards, Government agency, Source material, and Special Nuclear Material) to ensure consistency.
EDITORIAL COMMENTS ON INDIANA PROPOSED REGULATIONS STATE SECTION NRC SECTION 10 CFR PART CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 1
IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2.
(a)(3) and (4)
To ensure that Indianas regulations do not inadvertently exclude a reference to the NRC, Commission, or synonymous variation, 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2.
(a)(3) and (a)(4) needs to include the appropriate references to NRC in Indianas regulatory provisions.
1.
Indiana should revise 290 IAC 3 2, Sec. 2.(a)(3) by adding the phrase U.S. NRC or of an Agreement State, Commission or to an Agreement State, after the phrase [A]ny reference to NRC or
2 STATE SECTION NRC SECTION 10 CFR PART CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS Agreement State, at the beginning of the regulation to avoid excluding references to NRC from the regulatory provision.
2.
Indiana should revise 290 IAC 3 2, Sec.2 (a)(4) to prevent unintentionally excluding the NRC from the regulation by making the following changes to the paragraph, [A] reference to or equivalent Agreement State regulations or the equivalent Agreement State regulations means NRC regulations in Chapter Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or equivalent Agreement State regulations. A reference to or equivalent Agreement State requirements or equivalent requirements of an Agreement State means NRC requirements, or equivalent Agreement State requirements. A reference to comparable provisions of an Agreement State means comparable provisions of the NRC or of an Agreement State. A reference to an Agreement State means an Agreement State or the NRC. A reference to "equivalent regulations of an Agreement State, equivalent regulations of the Agreement State or equivalent Agreement State regulations means NRC regulations in Chapter Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or equivalent regulations of an Agreement State. A reference to equivalent provisions of an Agreement State, equivalent Agreement State provisions or equivalent provisions in Agreement State regulations means equivalent provisions of the NRC or of an Agreement State.

IAC 3-1-2, Sec.
2(a)(5)
Reference to Advisory Committee on the Medical Uses of Isotopes Indiana 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(5) references the Advisory Committee on the Medical Uses of Isotopes (ACMUI). The regulations incorporated by reference by Indiana do not explicitly mention ACMUI.
Therefore, Indiana can optionally delete this reconciliation language from their regulations. Please note that the enclosed redline and the numbering in the comments below assume that this change has been made.

2.(a)(7)
Original version Sec.
2.(a)(8)
Reconciliation language Indiana 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(7) includes 10 CFR 39.51 in the list of regulations where a reference to an Agreement State means an Agreement State or the NRC.
However, Indiana 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec.
- 2. (a)(9) also specifically provides reconciliation language for 10 CFR 39.51 to substitute the phrase or by an Agreement State with by the NRC or by an Agreement State.
Indiana should avoid having duplicative provisions by deleting either: 1) the reference to 10 CFR 39.51 in 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(7);
or 2) 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(9) in its entirety.
The following redline strikeout illustrates option 1) by deleting the reference to 10 CFR 39.51 from 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(7) by stating, (7) In 10 CFR 30.32(g); 31.5(b)(1)(ii);
31.5(c)(3)(ii); 31.5(c)(5);
31.5(c)(13)(iv); 31.6; 31.7(a); ;

170.31, Table 1, Category 16, Reciprocity; 170.31(1); and 171.17(b)(2), where a reference is made to an Agreement State, or non-Agreement State it means an Agreement State or the NRC to remove the duplicative provision.

2.(a)(11)
Original version Sec. 2 (a)(12)
Reconciliation language and Remove Hyperlink Indiana 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(11) describes reconciliation language to maintain the notification requirements to the NRC in 10 CFR 37.77(a) and (d). However, 10 CFR 37.77 contains other subparagraphs (b) and (c) where the references to NRC should also remain. Additionally, 10 CFR 37.77(a)(1) contains a hyperlink to NRC contacts. To minimize future administrative rulemaking activities, Indiana can remove the explicit reference to the hyperlink.
Indiana can revise 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(11) to address these issues by stating, (11) References to notifications to the NRC in 10 CFR 37.77(a)-(d), including reference to the contact information in 37.77(a)(1) remain. Additionally, the language in 10 CFR 37.77(d) is preserved.

Remove references to Subpart H of 10 CFR Part 71 Indiana 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2.
(a)(17), states that for purposes of 10 CFR Part 71, Subpart H, the listed terms (e.g. certificate of compliance) apply to the NRC. However, these terms should apply to the NRC throughout 10 CFR Part 71. To
5 STATE SECTION NRC SECTION 10 CFR PART CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS resolve this issue, Indiana should revise 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(17) by removing the reference to Subpart H from the sentence.

To resolve this issue, Indiana can revise 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(18) to state the following:
(18) In 10 CFR 150.20, where the words:
(A) non-agreement states, areas of exclusive federal jurisdiction within agreement states, or offshore waters are used in (a)(1)(i), (ii), (iii); (b), (b)(3), and (b)(4) are used it means The State of Indiana, (B) agreement state license are used it means agreement state license of Nuclear regulatory Commission license, (C) license issued by an agreement state are used it means license issued by an agreement state or the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, (D) license from an agreement state are used it means license from an agreement state of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

2.(a)(19)
Original version Sec.
2(a)(20)
Reconciliation language Indiana 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(19) lists NRC regulations where references to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and related provisions should mean the Indiana Code 10-19-12, entitled Nuclear Regulatory Agreement. 10 CFR
6 STATE SECTION NRC SECTION 10 CFR PART CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 36.15 references to the Atomic Energy Act should also be reconciled to mean the Indiana Code 10-19-23, Indiana 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec.2(a)(20) fails to include 36.15 on the list of the NRC regulations. To resolve this issue, Indiana should revise 290 IAC 3-1-2 Sec. 2(a)(19) to add 36.15 to the list of NRC regulations as follows:
(19) In 10 CFR 19.15; 19.16; 30.12; 30.13; 30.14; 30.15; 30.18; 30.19; 30.20; 30.21; 30.22; 30.34; 30.41(b)(3); 30.61(b); 36.15; 40.31(d);

Original version Sec.
2(a)(22) and (24)
Remove phrase Indiana 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(21) and (23) contain the phrase
[equivalent state regulations and provisions] which were mistakenly left in Indiana regulations after Indiana added references to the equivalent Indiana code provisions.
To resolve this issue, Indiana should delete the phrase [equivalent state regulations and provision] from 290 IAC 3-1-2, Section (a)(22) and (24).
(21) In 10 CFR 19.11(a)(4); 30.10(b);
40.10(b); 70.10(b); and 71.8(c) the reference to 10 CFR 2, subpart B is replaced with Indiana Code 10-19 18 [equivalent state regulations and provisions].

9 IAC 3-1-2, Sec.
2.(a)(28) and (32)
Original version Sec.
2(a)(29) and (33)
Reconciliation language needed Various sections of 10 CFR that Indiana has incorporated reference Parts of 10 CFR that cannot be incorporated by Indiana or otherwise adopted, including 10 CFR Parts 21, 60, 63, 73, 74, and 110. Specifically, 290 IAC 3-8-2, Sec. 2(a) incorporates by reference 10 CFR 34.101(a) which references 10 CFR 21.21. Indiana can address this issue by revising 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2(a)(28) as follows:
(28) In 10 CFR 34.45(a)(9) and in 10 CFR 39.63(l), the phrase as required by part 21 of this chapter and in 34.101(a), the phrase such as § 21.21, are excluded.
Additionally, while Agreement States cannot adopt 10 CFR 110, some regulations require references to 10 CFR 110 provisions for notification purposes. Indiana 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2(a)(32) refers to part 110.
Indiana needs to change the reference to 10 CFR 110 to provide adequate notification to their licensees. Indiana can address this issue by adding 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec.
2(a)(32) as follows.
(32) In 10 CFR 31.5(c)(7) and 31.12(c)(3), the phrase part 110 is replaced by 10 CFR part 110.
10 IAC 3-1-2, Sec.
2.(a)(31)
Original version Additional reference needed Indiana incorporates 10 CFR Parts 30 and 32 by reference in 290 IAC 3-4-2 Sec. 2(a) and 290 IAC 3-6-2 Sec.2(a) but excludes 10 CFR 32.11 in 290
8 STATE SECTION NRC SECTION 10 CFR PART CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS Sec.
2(a)(32)
IAC 3-6-2 Sec. 2(b)(4). Indiana incorporates by reference 10 CFR 32.13 in 290 IAC 3-6-2 Sec. 2(a) which references 10 CFR 30.14 and 32.11. As Indiana does not incorporate by reference 10 CFR 32.11, Indiana needs reconciliation language to say the phrase under 32.11 is replaced by under 10 CFR 32.11. Additionally, 10 CFR 32.13 references 10 CFR 30.14 by referring to it as 30.14 of this chapter. Since Indiana is only incorporating the various parts of 10 CFR and not the NRC chapter, Indiana needs reconciliation language to replace 30.14 of this chapter with 10 CFR 30.14.
Indiana can address these issues by adding 290 IAC 3-1-2 Sec.2(a)(31) as follows:
(31) In 10 CFR 32.13, the phrase 30.14 of this chapter is replaced by 10 CFR 30.14 and the phrase under 32.11 is replaced by under 10 CFR 32.11.
9 11 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2.
(a)(33)
Reconciliation language correction Indiana 290 IAC 3-2-2 Sec. 2(a) incorporates by reference 10 CFR 20.1405(b) which references publication of notices in the Federal Register. Indian should add reconciliatory language to reference the appropriate the Indiana State Register. Indiana can address this issue by adding the following provision 290 IAC 3-1-2 Sec. 2(a)(33) which includes adding a reference to the State register where indicated in the brackets below.
(33) References to the Federal Register found in 20.1405(b), means
[substitute reference to State register].
12 IAC 3-2-2, Sec. 2.(b)
Excluding Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) references 290 IAC 3-2-2 (a) incorporates by reference 10 CFR 20.1404(b) which references addressing comments provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Indiana should consider excluding this reference to the EPA from incorporation by reference because Indiana is not required to solicit and address comments from the EPA.
Additionally, 290 IAC 3-2-2 (a) also incorporates by reference 10 CFR 20.1405(a)(2) which also references the EPA. To enhance clarity and avoid confusion, Indiana should consider excluding this provision from incorporation by reference because the language concerning separately notifying and soliciting comments from the EPA does not apply to Indiana.
Indiana can address these issues by revising 290 IAC 3-1-2 Sec. 2(b)(8)
10 and adding Sec.2(b)(9) to exclude 20.1405(a)(2) as noted below.
- 8. 20.1404(b) reference to the Environmental Protection Agency
- 9. 20.1405(a)(2) 13 IAC 3-16-2, Sec. 2.(b)
Remove 10 CFR 71.1 Indiana 290 IAC 3-16-2, Sec. 2. (b)(2) excludes 10 CFR 71.1 from incorporation by reference. Indiana already provides reconciliation language for communications and reports to be directed to Indiana in 290 IAC 3-1-2, Sec. 2. (a)(6)(B) that specifically requires submissions under to 10 CFR 71.17(c) to be sent to the NRC using the method listed in 10 CFR 71.1(a). Therefore, Indiana cannot exclude 10 CFR 71.1 from incorporation by reference. Indiana can address this issue by removing 10 CFR 71.1 from the list of excluded regulations in 290 IAC 3-16-2, Sec. 2.
