Dear Mr. Goff: 

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Mississippi State Department of Health’s

“Regulations for Control of Radiation in Mississippi”, received by our office on March 3, 2005. 

In addition, we reviewed your responses to our letter, dated November 16, 2001, which

contained our comments on your proposed version of these rules. These regulations were

reviewed by comparison to the equivalent NRC rules in 10 CFR Parts 19, 20, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35,

36, 39, 40, 61 70, 71, 150 and the requirements of the 26 amendments identified in the

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

regulations with you on April 11, 2005.

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 State and Tribal Programs (STP) Procedure SA-200.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Mississippi regulations, as

indicated. This letter, including the SRS Data Sheet, is posted on the STP website: 

http://www.hsrd.ornl.gov/nrc/rulemaking.htm. 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 me, or John Zabko of my staff at (301) 415-2308 or JGZ@NRC.GOV. 

Sincerely,
