800 NE Oregon Street, Suite 640

Portland, OR 97232

Dear Mr. Carpenter:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Oregon Administrative Rules Chapter 333, 

Standards for Protection Against Radiation received by our office on October 8, 2019. These 

regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) rules and the requirements of Regulation Amendment Tracking System 

Identification Number (RATS IDs) 1995-2, 2015-3, and 2015-5 as identified in the enclosed 

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

you on October 11, 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 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 Oregon 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. 
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 

(Michelle.Beardsley@nrc.gov).

Sincerely,
