UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 May 20, 2019 Ashley Forbes, Division Director Radioactive Materials Division Texas Commission on Environmental Quality P.O. Box 13087 Austin, TX 78711-3087

Dear Ms. Forbes:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Rules, Title 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC), § 336, received by our office on April 29, 2019. 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) 2018-2 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Hans Weger on May 9, 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 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 TCEQ 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. Forbes 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).

Sincerely,

/RA/
