NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001

Mr. Michael Snee, Director 

Bureau of Radiation Protection 

Ohio Department of Health 

246 North High Street 

Columbus, OH 43215 

Dear Mr. Snee:

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Ohio Administrative Code Chapters 3701:1 

Radiation Control, Sections 3701:1-48-23, 3701:1-52-20, 3701:1-49-20, and 3701:1-48-19, 

received by our office on July 7, 2021. 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) 2018-3, 2019-1, and 2020-3 as identified in 

the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the 

regulations with you on October 6, 2021.

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 Ohio 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.

October 12, 2021
M. Snee -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 (301) 415-0275
