Dear Mr. Goff:

As requested, we have reviewed the final revisions to the Mississippi State Department of

Health’s Regulations for Control of Radiation in Mississippi, Part 801, Section W, Radiation

Safety Requirements for Wireline Service Operations and Subsurface Tracer Studies, received

electronically by our office on January 29, 2004. In addition, we reviewed your responses to our

letter, dated February 27, 2003, which contained our comments on your proposed version of

these rules. These regulations were reviewed, by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations in 10 CFR Part 34, 36 and 39, and the requirements

of the two amendments identified in the enclosed States Regulation Status Data Sheet (SRS). 

We discussed our review of the regulations with you on February 3, 2004.

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. This letter, including the SRS Data Sheet, is posted on the STP Web Site:

http://www.hsrd.ornl.gov/nrc/rulemaking.htm. If you have any questions regarding the

compatibility and health categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please

contact me, or John Zabko at 301-415-2308, or e-mail at JGZ@NRC.GOV.

Sincerely,
