David Turberville, Director

Office of Radiation Control 

Alabama Department of Public Health

P.O. Box 303017

Montgomery, AL 36130

Dear Mr. Turberville:

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Alabama regulations, Alabama Radiation 

Control Rules Chapters 420-3-26-.02, .07, and .15, received by our office on May 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) 2006-1, 2006-2, 2007-3, 2018-1, 2018-2, 2018-3, 2019-1, 2020-2, and 

2020-3. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on May 27, 2021.

As a result of our review, we have 19 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 Alabama 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 Alabama 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 Alabama 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. 

June 4, 2021
D. Turberville 2

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).
