Dear Mr. Meyers:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Louisiana regulations Title 35 Part XV, received by

our office by email on August 31, 2006. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the

equivalent Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Part 20 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 Sharon Parker on October 30,

2006. This letter supplements the letter sent by our office on October 23, 2006. Upon review

of the SRS data sheet transmitted with the October 23, 2006 letter we realized that we

inadvertently omitted the review of one amendment, during the first review of Title 35 Part XV.

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 Louisiana 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, Kathleen

Schneider State Regulation Review Coordinator at 301-415-2320 or by e-mail at kxs@nrc.gov,

or Monica Orendi at 301-415-3938 or by e-mail at mlo1@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,
