SUBJECT: WYOMING REVISED DRAFT LEGISLATION

Dear Mr. Schierman:

We have reviewed the draft copy of Wyoming House Bill No. HB001 that details the changes to 

Wyoming Statute §35-11-2004(c) dated December 19, 2018. These legislative changes were 

necessary in order for Wyoming to comply with the recent Agreement with the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission which (the deletion of “... the site, byproduct material, or...”) stated in 

Article VIII(A)(1), “This Agreement will terminate without further NRC action if the State does not 

amend Wyoming Statute Section 35-11-2004(c) to be compatible with Section 83b.(1)(A) of the 

Act by the end of the 2019 Wyoming legislative session. Upon passage of a revised Wyoming 

Statute Section 35-11-2004(c) that the NRC finds compatible with Section 83b.(1)(A) of the Act, 

this paragraph expires and is no longer part of the Agreement.”

As a result of our review, we have determined that the draft revised Wyoming Statute Section 

35-11-2004(c) submitted in your letter, is compatible with Section 83b.(1)(A) of the Act. We 

have no further comments.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Michelle Beardsley, State 

Regulation Review Coordinator (michelle.beardsley@nrc.gov) at (267) 884-2305 or Stephen 

Poy at (301) 415-7135 (stephen.poy@nrc.gov).

Sincerely,
