Mr. Michael Snee 

Radiation Protection 

Ohio Department of Health 

246 North High Street 

Columbus, Ohio 43215 

Dear Mr. Snee: 

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Ohio Administrative Code Chapters 

3701:1-40 and 3701:1-46 received by our office on April 2, 2015. These regulations were 

reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules 

and the requirements of the one amendment identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status 

(SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on May 4, 2015. 

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 Material, Safety, State, Tribal, and Rulemaking 

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 Web site: http://nrc-stp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html. 
 

M. Snee 2 

If you have any questions regarding the review, 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 (610) 337-6942 

(Michelle.Beardsley@nrc.gov) or Randy Erickson at (817) 200-1143 

(Randy.Erickson@nrc.gov). 

Sincerely, 

/RA/
