Dear Mr. Goff: 

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Mississippi regulations, “Regulations for Control of

Radiation in Mississippi”, received by our office on May 17, 2005. These regulations were

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

10 CFR Parts 20, 32, and 35, and the requirements of the two amendments identified in the

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

regulations with you on May 23, 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. 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.hrsd.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 Shawn

Rochelle Smith of my staff at (301) 415-2620 or SRS3@NRC.GOV. 

Sincerely,
