SUBJECT: NEW JERSEY FINAL REGULATIONS TO RATS ID 2018-2

Dear Ms. Goodman:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the New Jersey regulations Subchapters 58, 60, and 

65, received by our office on January 2, 2019. These regulations were reviewed by comparison 

to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and Regulation Amendment 

Tracking System Identification Number (RATS ID) 2018-2 as identified in the enclosed State 

Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on 

January 23, 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,
