UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 April 9, 2018 Mr. Santiago Rodriguez, Bureau Chief New Mexico Department of Environment

Radiation Control Bureau 1100 St. Francis Drive P.O. Box 5469

Sante Fe, NM 87502-5469

Dear Mr. Rodriguez:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the New Mexico Radiation Protection Rules 20.3.3.326.A through F, Records, 04/30/2009, received by our office on February 16, 2018.

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) 2015-4 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Michael Ortiz on April 4, 2018.

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 New Mexico regulations, as indicated. Please let us know if you not e 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.

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 (267) 884-2305 (Michelle.Beardsley@nrc.gov) or Stephen Poy at (301) 415-7135 (Stephen.Poy@nrc.gov
