UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 17, 2019 Augustinus Ong, Administrator State of New Hampshire Department of HHS Radiological Health Section 29 Hazen Drive Concord, NH 03301-6503

Dear Mr. Ong:

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the New Hampshire regulations He-P 4030 -

Licensing of Radioactive Materials, He-P 4032 - Specific Licenses for Manufacture or Transfer of Certain Items Containing Byproduct Material, and He-P 4035 - Use of Radionuclides in the Healing Arts, received by our office on April 16, 2019. 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 Number (RATS ID) 2018-1 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on June 7, 2019.

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 proposed, 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 requested in NMSS Procedure SA-201,Review of State Regulatory Requirements, please highlight any final changes and provide a copy to Division of Materials Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs, NMSS.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other New Hampshire 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.

A. Ong 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 (301) 415-0275 (Michelle.Beardsley@nrc.gov) or Joe OHara at (301) 415-6854 (Joe.OHara@nrc.gov).
