Dear Ms. Goodman:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the New Jersey regulations Subchapters 7:55 and 61,

received by our office on May 20, 2019. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the 

equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 35 and 71, and 

Regulation Amendment Tracking System Identification Numbers (RATS IDs) 2015-3, and 

2018-1 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed 

our review of the regulations with you on July 22, 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 New Jersey 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.
J. Goodman -2-

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 (267) 884-2305 or

Michelle.Beardsley@nrc.gov. 

Sincerely,
