Dear Mr. Baughman:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Colorado Rules and Regulations Pertaining to

Radiation Control in RH Parts 1, 4, 7, 10, and 16 received by our office on May 18, 2005. 

These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 20, 35 and 39 and the requirements of the three

amendments identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We

discussed our review of the regulations with Mr. Ken Weaver on June 21, 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 Colorado 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, the compatibility and health and safety

categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact me, or Terry Brock

of my staff at (301) 415-2323 or TAB2@NRC.GOV. 

Sincerely,
