UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 September 30, 2019 Jay Hyland, Manager Division of Environmental Health Maine Radiation Control Program 286 Water Street, 11 State House Station Augusta, ME 04333
Dear Mr. Hyland:
We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Maine Rules Relating to Radiation Safety, received by our office on July 24, 2019. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and Regulation Amendment Tracking System Identification Numbers (RATS IDs) 2011-1, 2012-2, 2012-3, 2012-4, 2013-1
[included in Maine proposed revisions although not noted in Maines letter], 2013-2, 2015-1, 2015-2, 2015-3, 2015-4, 2015-5, 2018-1, and 2018-2 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Tom Hillman on September 30, 2019.
As a result of our review, we have 45 comments that have been identified in the enclosure.
Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. Under our current procedure, a finding that the Maine regulations meet the compatibility and health and safety categories of the equivalent NRC regulation may only be made based on a review of the final Maine regulations. However, we have determined that if your proposed regulations were adopted, incorporating our comments and without other significant change, they would 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 the 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 Maine 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.
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 (301) 415-0275 (Michelle.Beardsley@nrc.gov) or Monica Ford at (610) 337-5214 (Monica.Ford@nrc.gov).
Sincerely,
