Concord, NH 03301-6504 

Dear Mr. O’Dowd: 

We have reviewed the proposed changes to the New Hampshire regulations Part He-P, 

“Transportation of Radioactive Material,” received by our office on September 24, 2009. These 

regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) rules in 10 CFR Part 71 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 November 20, 2009. 

As a result of our review, we have seven comments that have been identified in the enclosure. 

Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or 

health and safety. Under our current procedure, a finding that the New Hampshire regulations 

meet the compatibility and health and safety categories of the equivalent NRC regulation may 

only be made based on a review of the final New Hampshire regulations. However, we have 

determined that if your proposed regulations were adopted, incorporating our comments and 

without other significant change, they would 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. 

We request that when the proposed regulations are adopted and published as final regulations, 

a copy of the Aas published@ regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in FSME 

Procedure SA-201, AReview of State Regulatory Requirements,@ please highlight the final 

changes, and provide a copy to Division of Materials Safety and State Agreements, FSME. The 

SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other New Hampshire 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 comments, 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) 415-2230 

(kathleen.schneider@nrc.gov) or Karen Meyer at (301) 415-0113 (karen.meyer@nrc.gov). 

Sincerely, 

/RA/
