Mr. C. Gibb Vinson, Head

Illinois Emergency Management Agency

Bureau of Radiation Safety

Springfield, IL 62704 

Dear Mr. Vinson:

We have reviewed the proposed and final revisions to the Illinois regulations 32 Adm. Code 341 

regulations, received by our office on February 4, 2020. 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) 2015-3 and 2019-2 as 

identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review 

of the regulations with you on February 28, 2020.

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 Illinois 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.
G. Vinson -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 (301) 415-0275
