Dear Ms. Hinkel: 

We have reviewed the final revisions to the New York Department of Environmental 

Conservation regulations (NYSDEC) regulations, 6 NYCRR Part 381 and 383, received by our 

office on November 4, 2008. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 20 and 61 and the requirements 

of the one amendment identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. 

We discussed our review of the regulations with you on December 5, 2008. 

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 Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs (FSME) 

Procedure SA-200. 

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other NYSDEC 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 FSME website: http://nrc-stp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html. 

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
