==Purpose:== | |||
To provide the National Materials Program (NMP) community an opportunity to comment, and use the interim procedure, SA-202, Review of Regulations and Other Program Elements by the Standing Committee on Compatibility. | |||
==Background:== | |||

On July 12, 2008, the final charter was established for the Standing Committee on Compatibility (Committee) and revised on October 3, 2012. The final charter is available in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems using the Accession No. ML12269A247. The Committee, which is directed by Management Directive (MD) 5.3, serves to help ensure consistency during promulgation of regulations and other program elements. The Committee accomplishes this by reviewing and documenting decisions on the basis for compatibility determinations and by identifying implementation issues that may be encountered during the NRC staffs review of State regulations under the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP). The Committee offers an independent review and assessment of the staffs determinations of the compatibility category designation for each new or revised program element, including regulations and other legally binding requirements to ensure consistency with MD 5.9, Adequacy and Compatibility of Program Elements for Agreement State Programs. The Committees activities are also discussed in Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) Policy and Procedure (P&P) 6-10, NMSS Procedures for Preparation and Review of Rulemaking Packages, and SA-801A, Agreement State Participation in Rulemaking Working Groups. | |||

Purpose:
To provide the National Materials Program (NMP) community an opportunity to comment, and use the interim procedure, SA-202, Review of Regulations and Other Program Elements by the Standing Committee on Compatibility.
Background:
On October 18, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued the Agreement State Program Policy Statement (Policy Statement), which provides the agencys approach for determining which of its program elements (including regulations) should be adopted by an Agreement State to maintain a compatible program. The Policy Statement defines program element as any component or function of a radiation control regulatory program, including regulations or other legally binding requirements (orders, license conditions) imposed on regulated persons, which contributes to implementation of that program.
On July 12, 2008, the final charter was established for the Standing Committee on Compatibility (Committee) and revised on October 3, 2012. The final charter is available in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems using the Accession No. ML12269A247. The Committee, which is directed by Management Directive (MD) 5.3, serves to help ensure consistency during promulgation of regulations and other program elements. The Committee accomplishes this by reviewing and documenting decisions on the basis for compatibility determinations and by identifying implementation issues that may be encountered during the NRC staffs review of State regulations under the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP). The Committee offers an independent review and assessment of the staffs determinations of the compatibility category designation for each new or revised program element, including regulations and other legally binding requirements to ensure consistency with MD 5.9, Adequacy and Compatibility of Program Elements for Agreement State Programs. The Committees activities are also discussed in Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) Policy and Procedure (P&P) 6-10, NMSS Procedures for Preparation and Review of Rulemaking Packages, and SA-801A, Agreement State Participation in Rulemaking Working Groups.
Discussion: This letter notifies the NMP community that NMSS procedure SA-202 has been prepared and issued for use on an interim basis until March 16, 2021, to allow Agreement State and the NRC staff in the NMP community to provide comments 1 based on their review of the
