Dear Mr. Bailey:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the California regulations in the Radiation Control

Law (Health and Safety Code, 114960-115273), received by our office on February 2, 2006.

These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 61, 70, 71, 150 and the requirements of

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

discussed our review of the regulations with Gary Butner on March 8, 2006.

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 [State Name]

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 Mr. Osiris

Siurano at 301-415-2307 or by e-mail at osp@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,
