UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 6, 2018 Michael D. Kurman, Supervisor Registration and Certification Section Radiation Machines Division Radiological Health Program Maryland Department of the Environment Suite 750 1800 Washington Blvd Baltimore, MD 21230-1718

Dear Mr. Kurman:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Maryland regulations Supplement 28 to COMAR 26.12.01.01 titled Regulations for the Control of Ionizing Radiation (1994), received by our office on May 21, 2018. 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 IDs) 2015-1, 2015-2, 2015-3, 2015-4 and 2015-5 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on June 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 Maryland 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 the NMSS State Communication Portal: https://scp.nrc.gov/rulemaking.html.

M. Kurman If you have any questions regarding the comments, 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)

Sincerely,

/RA Paul Michalak for/
