Dear Mr. Owen:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Ohio regulations “Packaging and Transportation of

Radioactive Material, received by our office on November 6, 2006. These regulations were

reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10

CFR Part 71 and the requirements of the amendment identified in the enclosed State

Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Michael

Snee on December 13, 2006.

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 Ohio 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 Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs

(FSME) 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 Kathleen

Schneider, State Regulation Review Coordinator at 301-415-2320 (e-mail: kxs@nrc.gov), or

Richard Blanton at 301-415-2322 (e-mail: rlb@nrc.gov).
