Steven Gavitt, CHP, Director 

Bureau of Environmental Radiation Protection 

New York State Health Department 

547 River Street 

Troy, NY 12180-2216 

Dear Mr. Gavitt: 

We have reviewed the final revisions to the New York State Department of Health regulations 

for New Dosimetry Technology, received by our office on December 23, 2009. This regulation 

was reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 

10 CFR Parts 34, 36, 39 and the requirements of the amendment identified in the enclosed 

State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with 

Nikolus Webster on March 8, 2010. 

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 New York State 

Department of Health 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://nrcstp.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 

(kathleen.schneider@nrc.gov) or Carmen Rivera at 301-415-6618 (carmen.rivera@nrc.gov).
