Mr. Thomas W. Ortciger, Director

Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety

1035 Outer Park Drive

Springfield, IL 62704

Dear Mr. Ortciger:

We have reviewed the final regulations in 32 Ill. Adm. Code 330, “Licensing of Radioactive

Material” and 32 Ill. Adm. Code 326, “Financial Assurance Requirements,” which became

effective on June 1, 2000. The regulations were sent July 11, 2000. The final regulations are

in response to the six amendments identified in the enclosed Regulation Assessment Tracking

System (RATS) Data Sheet. The regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations in 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 40, 61, 70 and 150.

In addition, we reviewed our May 26, 2000 letter to you that addressed the proposed

regulations. We also discussed our review of the regulations with Kathy Allen on August 4,

2000.

As a result of our review, we have determined that the Illinois regulations, as adopted, meet the

compatibility and health and safety categories established in STP Procedure SA-200.

We have also summarized on the RATS Data Sheet our knowledge of the status of other

Illinois regulations. Please let us know if you note any inaccuracies or have any comments on

the information contained in the RATS Data Sheet.

If you have any questions regarding the comments, the compatibility and health categories,

or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact me or Jim Lynch at

(630) 829-9661 or JLL2@NRC.GOV.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Frederick C. Combs, Deputy Director

Office of State and Tribal Programs
