Dear Mr. Butner:

We have reviewed the California license condition that was submitted to address 10 CFR

Part 30.34(i), “Security Requirements for Portable Gauges”, that was received by our office on

October 19, 2006. This license condition was reviewed by comparison to the equivalent NRC

rules in 10 CFR Part 30 and the requirements of the one amendment identified in the enclosed

State’s Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the license condition

with Phillip Scott on November 8, 2006.

As a result of our review, we have no comments. We have determined that the California

license condition meets 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 California regulations or

legally binding requirements, 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.hrsd.ornl.gov/nrc/rulemaking.htm.

If you have any questions regarding the review, the compatibility and health and safety

categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact Kathleen

Schneider, Regulation Review Coordinator at (301) 415-2320 or email: KXS@NRC.GOV, or Mr.

Osiris Siurano-Perez of my staff at (301)415-2307 or e-mail: OSP@NRC.GOV.
