Part I Introduction Overview (A)

The Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs (Policy Statement) sets forth the approach that the Commission will use to determine those program elements that should be adopted by an Agreement State to maintain an adequate and compatible program. This handbook describes the specific criteria and process that will be used to identify the compatibility categories of those NRC program elements that should be adopted and implemented by an Agreement State for purposes of compatibility, as well as for identifying those program elements that have a particular health and safety significance, it further describes how NRC staffis to apply the provisions of the Policy Statement to current and future Agreement State program elements for purposes of compatibility. Ilowever, the overall detennination of adequacy and compatibility for an Agreement State is made pursuant to Management Directive 5.6, The Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP).

Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs (B)

An Agreement State radiation control program is compatible with the Commission's regulatory program when the State program does not create confilets, duplications, gaps, or other conditions

. that jeopardize an orderly pattern in the regulation of agreement material (source, byproduct, and small quantities of special nuclear material as identified by Section 274b. of the AEA) on a nationwide basis. As a general matter, compatibility focuses primarily on the potential effects of State action or inaction either on the regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis or on otherjurisdictions. The concept of compatibility does not directly address matters of health and safety within a particular Agreement State; such matters are addressed directly under adequacy.

ilowever, many program elements fbr compatibility also impact public health and safety; therefore, they also may be considered program elements for adequacy. Further, basic radiation protection standards and program elements with transboundary implications, although important for health and safety within the State, should be uniform nationwide for compatibility purposes.

(1)

An Agreement State radiation control program is adequate to protect public health and safety if administration of the program provides reasonable assurance of protection of public health and safety in regulating the use of agreement material. The level of protection afforded by the program elements of NRC's materials regulatory program is presumed to be that which is adequate to provide a reasonable assurance of protection of public health and safety. A subset of one of the five elements identified to help provide such reasonable assurance is legally binding Approved (Date)

requirements addressing protection of public health and safety within the State. (2) llased on the Policy Statement, NRC program elements (including regulations) can be placed ir.to four compatibility categories. In addition, NRC program elements can also be identified as having particular health and safety significance or as being reserved solely to the NRC. These are summarized below. (3)

Compatibility Category A (a)

NRC program elements in Category A are those that are basic radiation protection standards and scientific terms and definitions that are necessary to understand radiation protection concepts.

The program elements adopted by an Agreement St'.te should be essentially identical to those of NRC to provide uniformity in the regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis.

Compatibility Category ll(b)

NRC program elements in Category 11 are those that apply to activities that have direct and significant transboundary implications. An Agreement State should adopt program elements essentially identical to those of NRC.

Compatibility Category C (c)

NRC program elements in Category C are those that do not meet the criteria of Category A or 11, but the essential objectives of which an Agreement State should adopt to avoid conflict, duplication, gaps, or other conditions that would jeopardize an orderly pattern in the regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis. An Agreement State should adopt the essential objectives of the NRC program elements.

Compatibility Category D (d)

NRC program elements in Category D are those that do not meet any of the criteria of Category A,11, or C, above, and, thus, do not need to be adopted by Agreement States for purposes of corrpatibility.

Ilealth and Safety (c)

Th:se are NRC program elements that are not required for compatibility (i.e., Category D), but that have been identified as having a particular health and safety role (i.e., adequacy) in the regulation of agreement material within the State. Although not required for compatibility, the State should adopt program elements in this category based on those of NRC that embody the essential objectives of the NRC program elements because of particular health and safety considerations.

Categorization Criteria 4

Criteria (A)

Compatibility Category A'(1)

To be hcluded in Category A, an NRC program element is to be generally applicable and is to be a dose limit or a related concentration or release limit or a scientific term, definition, sign, or label that is necessary to understand basic radiation protection principles (basic radiation l

protection standard). Ilasic radiation protection standards do not include constraints or other limits below the level associated with ' adequate protection' that take into account permissible balancing considerations such as economic cost and other factors. (a)

Examples include, but are not necessarily limited to: (b)

T public dose limits (e.g.,10 CFR 20.1301) plus any regulation that relates directly l

e to these dose limits (i) i e

concentration and release limits (ii) occupational dose limits (e.g.,10 CFR 20.1201) plus any regulation that directly e

relates to these dose limits (iii) e dose limits in 10 CFR 61.41 (iv) e radiation symbol (v) e caution signs and labels (vi) scientific terms (e.g., conventional and Syst6me Internationale units, definitions of e

types of radioactive material) (vii) e definitions needed for common understanding (e.g., restricted area, year, stochastic)(viii)

Compatibility Category H' (2)

To be included in Category 13, an NRC program element is to be one that applies to activities that have direct and significant effects in multiple jurisdictions. (a)

Examples include, but are not necessarily limited to: (b)

' Many program elements for compatibility also impact public health and safety; therefore, they may also be considered program elements for adequacy.

transportation requirements (e.g., low level radioactive waste manifests, e

packaging requirements)(i) e requirements for approval of products that are distributed nationwide (e.g., scaled sources and devices)(ii) e definitions of products (e.g., sources and devices) that licensees routinely transport in multiplejurisdictions (iii) e content and format of sealed source and device registration certificates. (iv)

Compatibility Category C' (3)

To be included in Category C, an NRC program element is to be one, the essential objective (s) of which an Agreement State should adopt to avoid conflicts, duplications, or gaps in the regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis and that, if not adopted, would result in an undesirable consequence. Definitions of"confilet,"" duplication," and " gap" are included in Part Vil (Glossary). (a)

Examples of undesirable consequences include, but are not necessarily limited to: (b) exposure to an individual in a different jurisdiction in excess of the basic radiation e

protection standards established for compatibility in Category A, above; (i) undue burden on interstate commerce (e.g., additional recordkeeping or training e

requirements);(ii) preclusion of an effective review or evaluation by the Commission of the NRC e

and Agreement State programs for agreement material with respect to protection of public health and safety;(iii) e preclusion of a practice in the national interest:(iv) absence or impainnent of effective communication; (v) e e

lack of minimum level of safety for agreement material - containing products distributed nationwide;(vi) e disruption of the regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis. (vii)

Examples of program elements in this category include, but are not necessarily limited to: (d) e reports oflost or stolen agreement material or misadministrations (i) radiation surveys for industrial radiographers and well loggers (ii) 1 e

e documents and records required at temporary job sites. (iii)

Compatibility Category D (4) i NRC program elements that do not meet any of the criteria of Category A, B, or C, above, are Category D and are not required for compatibility purposes. (a)

IIcalth and Safety (5)

An NRC program element that is not required for compatibility and could result directly (i.e.,2 or fewer failures )in an exposure to an individual in excess of the basic radiation protection 2

standards in Category A ifits essential objectives were not adopted by an Agreement State is identined as having particular health and safety significance. (a)

Examples of such program elements include, but are not necessarily limited to: (b) e requirement for irradiator interlocks (i) safety checks for medical teletherapy facilities (ii) e e

package opening procedures. (iii)

Exclusive NRC Regulatory Authority (6)

The NRC program elements in this category are those that relate directly to areas of regulation reserved to the NRC by the AEA or the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. (a)

Examples include, but are not necessarily limited to: (b) issuance oflicenses for production and :itilization facilities (i) e regulation of activities in federal offshore waters (ii) e issuance oflicenses for distribution to exempt persons. (iii) e Although an Agreemen* State may not adopt program elements reserved to NRC,it may wish to inform its licensees of certain requirements via a mechanism that is consistent with the particular State's administrative procedure laws, but does not confer regulatory authority on the State. (c) lixamples include, but are not necessarily limited to: (d)

Agreement State licensee submission to the Commission of nuclear material e

transfer reports pursuant to 10 CFR 150.16 (i)

Agreement State licensee compliance with US/lAEA safeguards agreement e

pu.

nt to 10 CFR 150.17a and 10 CFR Part 75 (ii) 2 The concept embodied by "2 or fewer failures" is that if the essential objectives of the program element were not adopted and implemented, then an event could occur that would not have taken place were the essential objectives adopted. This alone, or in conjunction with at most one other event, could result in exposure of an individual in excess oflimits set by basic radiation protection standards.

Part III Categorization Process for NRC Program Elements The protocol to be used to assign a compatibility category to NRC program elements or to identify a program element as having particular health and safety significance !s diagramed in the flow chart in Appendix A. The basis of the flow chart is a series of questions that are listed below. Each program element is tested by asking the series of questions below in the order given. The answers to these questions determine the compatibility category for each NRC t

program element or identify it as having particular health and safety significance. (A)

Question (1) Do the essential objectives of the program element address a regulatory area reserved solely to the authority of the NRC7 If the response to the question is "yes", the compatibility category is "NRC." If the response to the question is "no," then proceed to Question (2). (1)

Question (2) Do the essential objectives of the program element address or define a basic radiation protection sandard as defined by the Polley Statement or is it a definition, tenu, sign, or symbol needed for a common understanding of radiation protection principles? If the response to this question is "yes", the compatibility category is "A." If the response to the question is "no", then proceed to Question (3).(2)

Question (3) Do the essential objectives of the program element address or define an issue that has a significant, direct transboundary implication? If the response to this question is "yes", the compatibility category is "II." If the response to the question is "no", then proceed to Question (4). (3)

Question (4) Would the absence of the essential objectives of the program element from an Agreement State program create a conflict or gap? If the response to this question is "yes", the compatibility category ' "C". If the response to the question is "no",

then the compatibility category is 'i and proceed to Question (5) to determine whether the program element showL be identified as having particular health and safety significance. (4) t Question (5) Would the absence of the essential objectives of the program element from an agreement state program create a situation that could directly result in exposure to an individual in excess of the basic radiation protection standards found in compatibility category A? If the response to this question is "yes", the program l

clement is not required for purposes of compatibility, but is identified as having l

particular health and safety significance. ($)

Part IV Applicability to NRC Program Elements Current NRC Program Elements (A)

The compatibility category and identification of particular health and safety significance for current Commission program elements that are applicable to the regulation of agreement materials are found in OSP Intemal Procedure B.7 (Revision 1)," Compatibility Categories and llcalth and Safety identification for NRC Regulations and other Program Elements." B.7 will be updated periodically as final rules are published.

Future NRC Regulations and Other Program Elements (B)

The compatibility category or identification of particular health and safety significance of a proposed rule is to be suggested at the time the rulemaking plan is formulated and is to be coordinated with the Agreement States according to Management Directive 6.3, "The Rulemaking Process." Staffis to use Management Directive 5.9 to determine the compatibility category or to identify particular health and safety significance for each drafl rulemaking plan.

OSP Internal Procedure B.7 (Revision 1) will be revised to incorporate the results of these determinations aftc. the final rule or program element is adopted.

Approved (Date) 9 l

PART V Applicability to Agreement State Program Elements Current Agreement State Program Elements (A)

Regulations (1)

NRC regulations that had not been required for compatibility according to OSP Internal Procedure 13.7," Criteria for Compatibility Determinations," but, pursuant to the new Policy Statement, are included in compatibility categories A, B, or C or are identified as having health and safety significance should be adopted by the States with an effective date within three years of the effective date of the Policy Statement and implementing procedures. (a)

NRC regulations that had been required for compatibility according to OSP Internal Procedure B.7, but will not be required under the Policy Statement do not require any action by the States.

(b)

In addition to the foregoing,if an Agreement State's regulations had been evaluated using OSP Internal Procedure 13.7 and NRC's program review procedures prior to the effective date of the Policy Statement and found:(c) to be compatible, then no further action is required by the State except in the e

special circumstance where the compatibility category now requires the State to be essentially identical (e.g. a change from Division 2 to Category B) and the State regulation is not so deemed, then the State should conform the regdation as expeditiously as possible, but not later than three years after the Policy's effective date;(i) to be not compatible, then the regulation deemed not compatible should be e

changed to conform to the Policy as expeditiously as possible, but not later than three years aller the Policy's effective date; (ii) e not to have adopted a regulation previously required for compatibility and still required by compatibility category A, B or C or identified as having health and safety significance, then the regulation should be adopted as expeditiously as possible, but not later than three years after the Policy's efTective date or other date set by the Commission. (iii)

Program Elements (2)

Program elements other than regulations had not been identified previously for purposes of compatibility or for having health and safety significance. Such program elements now Approved (Date) 10

identified under the new Policy Statement should be adopted and implemented by the States within six months of the effective date of the Policy Stttement and implementing procedures. If, due to other factors, an Agreement State cannot adopt and implement such a program element within the six month time frame, then the State and the Commission will agree upon a mutually acceptable timetable for adoption and implementation.

Future Agreement State Program Elements (B)

General (l)

Any changes to Agreement State program elements aller the effective date of the Policy Statement should conform to the Policy Statement and implementing procedures set out in this handbook.

Future Regulations (2)

Proposed and final Agreement State regulations for agreement materials that will be submitted to the NRC will be reviewed in accordance with guidance provided in OSP Internal Procedures, D.7, " Reviewing State Regulations" and B.7 (Revision 1), " Compatibility Categories and llealth and Safety identification for NRC Regulations and Other Program Elements." Results of the evaluation will be transmitted to the State in accordance with OSP internal procedures. Note:

The overall determination of the adequacy and compatibility ofindividual Agreement State programs will be made in accordance with Management Directive 5.6, " Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP)."

Future New or Changed Program Elements (3)

NRC staff will review the adoption and implementation of any new or revised (non regulation) program element by an Agreement State in accordance with the Integrated Materials Perfonnance Evaluation Program review procedures set out in Management Directive 5.6 at the time of the next regularly scheduled review.

Evaluation of Applications for Agreement State Status (C)

NRC staff will apply the compatibility and health and safety categorization criteria and process in this handbook when reviewing the regulations and program elements contained in applications for Agreement State status submitted after the effective date of the Policy Statement.

Approved (Date) 11

PART VI Additional Implementing Issues Use of Management Directive 5.9 and llandbook 5.9 (A)

For IMPEP reviews oiStates in accordance with Management Directive 5.6, review teams will use Management Directive 5.9 to asses the status of the State's program elements with respect to those that should be adopted for compatibility or for health and safety reasons. Specific Agreement State regulations will be assessed as they are submitted by the 5 tate and a summary report will be provided to the IMPEP review team at the time of the State's next program review.

Ilowever, the overall determination of adequacy and compatibility ofindividual Agreement State programs will be made in accordance with Management Directive 5.6," Integrated Materials Perfonnance Evaluation Program,"

Essential Objectives (B)

The essential objective of each NRC program element in compatibility component C or identitled as having particular health and safety significance should be adopted by the Agreement State. The term " essential objective"is defined in Part Vil (Glossary). (1)

For those NRC program elements in compatibility category C, adoption of the essential objective (s) by an Agreement State means that the State is compatible with respect to that program element. (2)

For those NRC program elements identified as having particular health and safety significance, adoption of the essential objective (s) by an Agreement State means that the State is providing a level of protection equivalent to NRC with respect to that program element. A State has the latitude to adopt essential objectives that are more stringent. (3)

Essentially identical (C)

Program elements in compatibility categories A and B adopted by Agreement States should be essentially identical. The term " essentially identical" is defined in Part Vil (Glossary). If a requirement adopted by an Agreement State difTers in any significant respect from that of the NRC. the State should explain how the requirements are essentially identical. An examp:e of a substitution that would not be considered significant would be use of the term "detenninistic" in place of the term "non-stochastic." In this case, the former term is one commonly accepted in the international radiation protection community. Similarly, the use of Systbme Internationale (SI) units rather than conventional units would be deemed essentially identical. Further, the adoption by States of more recent technical infonnation (e.g., with respect to reference man) would be Approved (Date) 12

~ viewed as being essentially identical. Finally, changes to reflect increased scope of State authority (e.g., use of the term " radioactive material" in place of the term " byproduct material")

or wording needed to conform to State administrative procedures (e.g., use of State agency name in place of" Commission") would not be considered significantly different.

Legally Binding Requirements (D)

Where appropriate, Agreement States should adopt program elemend in compatibility categories A. B and C or those identified as having particular health and safety significance and applicable to all licensees in the form of a rule or other generic legally binding requirement in a manner consistent with the State's administrative laws. The use of generic requirements will help to

. avoid inconsistency and confusion that may result from the imposition ofindividual requirements on a case by-case basis. (1)

Further, requirements applicable to more than a few licensees also should be adopted in the fonn of a generic requirement. Ilowever, since the appropriate approach to such issues will depend on the types and numbers oflicensees involved, the State's approach will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. (2)

The mechanism used by the State should be legally binding on the licensee (s) and enforceable as law. Examples of such legally binding requirements may include license ccaditions (including licensee commitments referenced in " tie-down" conditions), orders or other mechanisms detennined by the State to be legally binding and enforceable. The State has the responsibility of demonstrating that requirements adopted other than by regulation are legally binding. (3)

Time Frames for Adoption (E)

Commission reguladons that should be adopted by an Agreement State for purposes of compatibility or health and safety should be adopted in a time frame su:h that the efTective date of the State requirement is not later than three years aller the efTective date of NRC's final rule.

Certain circumstances (e.g., adoption of a basic radia*!on protection standard or other rule that will have significant impact on the regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis, such as the low-level radioactive waste manifest) may warrant that the efTective dates for both NRC licensees and Agreement State licensees be the same. In some cases, and with sufficient justification, health and safety considerations may warrant adoption by the States in less than the recommended three year (or six month) time frame. (1)

Program elements, other than regulations or equivalent legally binding requirements, that have L

been designated as necessary for maintenance of an adequate and compatible program should be adopted and implemented by the Agreement States within six months of such designation by NRC. If, due to other factors, an Agreement State cannot adopt and implement such a program Approved (Date) 13

Part VII Glossary Definitions (A)

Conflict means the essential objectives of regulations or program elements are different and an undesirable consequence is likely to result in anotherjurisdiction or in the regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis. (1)

Duplication means identical regulations or program elements apply to the same material at the same time. Note: this definition applies primarily to review of Agreement State regulations. (2)

Essential objective of a regulation or program element means the action that is to be achieved, modified or prevented by implementing and following the regulation or program element. In some instances, the essential objective may be a numerical value (e.g., restriction of exposures to a maximum value) or it may be a more general goal (e.g., access control to a restricted area). (3)

Essentially ident.a! means the interpretation of the text must be the same regardless of the version (NRC or Agreement State) that is read. (4)

Gap means the essential objectives of NRC regulations or program elements are absent from the Agreement State program and an undesirable consequence i.e *:kely to result in another jurisdiction or in the regulation of agreement materials on a arionwide basis. (5)

Practice means a use, procedure, or activity associated with the application, possession, use, storage, or disposal of agreemem material. The term " practice" is used in a broad and encompassing manner in the Policy Statement on. Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs. The term encompasses both general activities invohing use of radioactive materials such as industrial and medical uses and spe 1c activities within a practice such as industrial radiography and brachytherapy. (6)

Program element means any component or function of a radiation control regulatccy program, including regulations and/or other legally binding requirements imposed on regulated persons, that contributes to implementation of that program. (7)

Transboundary means acrossjurisdictional boundaries within the United States. It does not mean between the United States and other nations. (8)

OFFICE OF STATE PROGRAMS Pre-and Post-Agreement Activities

- B.7 (Revision 1): Compatibility Categories and llcalth and Safety identification for NRC Regulations and Other Program Elements 1

Introduction 1.1 Purpose This procedure provides guidance to NRC staff, Agreement States, and States seeking an Agreement on the compatibility categories assigned to NRC regulations and program elements and the identincation of those regulations or program elements that have particular health and safety signincance.

1.2 Hackground 1.2.1 The Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs sets forth the approach that the Commission will use to identify those program elements (including regulations) that Agreement State programs should implement to be adequate to protect public health and safety and to be compatible with the Commission's regulatory program.

1.2.2 Management Directive 5.9, " Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs,"

describes the criteria and process NRC staff follow to determine which NRC regulations and program elements should be adopted by an Agreement State for purposes of compatibility as well as purposes of health and safety, in accordance with Management Directive 5.9, each regulation and program element nrst is analyzed and categorized for purposes of compatibility and then identi6ed ifit has particular health and safety signincance.

1.2.3 OSP Internal Procedure B.7 (Revision 1) has been developed and is maintained by the OfSce of State Programs to document, for use by NRC and State staff, the compatibility category for each NRC rule and program element and the identincation of health and safety signincance, as determined in accordance with Management Directive 5.9. In addition, Management Directive 5.9 provides that OSP Internal Procedure B.7 (Revision 1) should be updated at the time a new rule or program element is adopted.

2 Compatibility Categories & Health and Safety Identification The tables in Section 3, below, contain a section by-section analysis of regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and program elements that are applicable to the regulation of agreement materials. The analysis is based on the categorization criteria and process set out in Management Directive 5.9, " Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State L

Programs."

The Parts of 10 CFR for which tables are provided all have been analyzed section-by section; those Parts that do not have a corresponding table have been determined to address areas in which Agreement States either do not have regulatory authority or that are applicable specifically to NRC's regulatory program and need not be addressed by an Agreement State. For the purpose of completeness, those Parts that totally address areas of exclusive NRC authority are listed in Table 1. Those Parts that generally are applicable specifically to NRC's regulatory program, but are not areas of exclusive NRC authority, are listed in Table 2. Any future changes to these determinations will be reflected in revisions to Tables 1 and 2 and to the individual section-by-section analysis tables in Section 3.

Table 1 Specific Parts of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations That Address Areas of Exclusive NRC Authority Parts 10,11, 25, 26, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 60, 62, 72, 73', 74, 752, 76, 81, 95,100,110,140, and 160.

Table 2 Specific Parts of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations That Address Areas That Generally Are Applicable Only to NRC's Regulatory Program Parts 0,1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9,12,13,14,15,16, 21),170, and 171.

' Section 73.67 (Physical Protection of Special Nuclear Material of Moderate and Low Strategic Significance) of 10 CFR Part 73 is applicable to cenain Agreement State licensees pursuant to 10 CFR 150.14.

Agreement States, therefore, may wish to inform their licensees of the provisions of this part through a mechanism that is appropriate under the State's administrative procedure laws, but does not confer regulatory authority on the State in this area of exclusive NRC jurisdiction.

  • Part 75 (Safeguards on Nuclear Material-Implementation of US/IAEA Agreement) may be applicable to -

certain Agreement State licensees as delineated in Section 75.2 Scope. Agreement States, therefore, may wish to inform their Ikeraces of the provisions of this part through a mechanism that is appropriate under the State's administrative procedure laws, but does not confer regulatory authority on the State in this area of exclusive NRC jurisdiction 5 The provisions in Part 21 derive from statutory authority in the Energy Reorganization Act, not the

'AEA, that does not apply to Agreement States. Therefore, this Part cannot be addressed under either compatibility or adequacy. While it may be argued that there are health and safety reasons to require States to adopt the provisions of Pan 21, States may not have the statutory authority to do so.

Regulation and Other Program E!cment Tables In using the following tables, staff should be aware of the following points:

e The following sections are found in multiple Parts: Purpose, Scope, Interpretations, Communications, OMB Approval, Violations, Criminal Penahies and Inspections. They are all essentially identical from Part to Part.

These requirements are not required for either compatibility or health and safety reasons The State may elect to adopt similar sections based on its requirements.

e A number of terms are defined in more than one Part in 10 CFR. For purposes of consistency, the tables show the compatibility category for the definition in the most appropriate Part and refer to that Part at all other occurrences of the term with the compatibility category shown in brackets. See, for example, the definition of " restricted area" in the table for Part 19, Section 19.3.

Unless otherwise indicated in the tables, the compatibility category or identification of health and safety significance applies to the entire section of the Part. See, for example, the table for Part 20, Section 20.2003, where individual paragraphs are assigned different components.

Key to categories:

A=

Basic radiation protection standard or related definitions, signs, labels or terms necessary for a common understanding of radiation protection principles. The State program element should be essentially identical to that of NRC.

B=

Program element with significant direct transboundary implications. The State program element should be essentially identical to that of NRC.

C=

Program element, the essential objectives of which should be adopted by the State to avoid conflicts, duplications or gaps. The manner in which the essential objectives are addressed need not be the same as NRC provided the essential objectives are met.

D=

Not required for purposes of compatibility.

NRC =

Not required for purposes of compatibility. These are NRC program elements that address areas of regulation that cannot be relinquished to Agreement States pursuant to the AEA or provisions of Title 10 of the Code of b

Federal Regulations. ' The State should not adopt these program elements.

H&S =

Program elements identified by H&S in the Comment column are not required for purposes of compatibility;

- however, they do have particular health and safety significance. The State should adopt the essential objectives of such program elements in order to maintain an adequate program.
