Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-4850

Dear Mr. Finerfrock:

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Utah Administrative Code Title R313-12, “General

Provisions”, R313-15, “Standards for Protection Against Radiation,” R313-22, “Specific Licenses,”

and R313-32, “Medical Use of Radioactive Material”, received by our office on March 11, 2005. 

These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent NRC rules in 10 CFR Parts 20,

32, 35 and the requirements of the two amendments identified in the enclosed States Regulation

Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on April 7, 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. Under our current procedure, a

finding that the Utah regulation meets the compatibility and health and safety categories of the

equivalent NRC regulation may only be made based on a review of the final Utah regulation. 

However, we have determined that if these regulations are adopted without significant change, they

would meet the compatibility and health and safety categories established in the Office of State and

Tribal Programs (STP) Procedure SA-200. We request that when the proposed regulations are

adopted and published as final regulations, a copy of the “as published” regulations be provided to

the NRC for review.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Utah 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 STP website: http://www.hsrd.ornl.gov/nrc/rulemaking.htm.

If you have any questions regarding the compatibility and health and safety categories, or any of the

NRC regulations used in the review, please contact me, or Aaron T. McCraw of my staff at

(301)415-1277 or ATM@NRC.GOV. 

Sincerely,
