Dear Mr. Haynes:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the South Carolina regulations, Radioactive Material

Regulations R.61-63 Title A, received by our office on January 17, 2008. These regulations

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

10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 40, 70 and the requirements of the two amendments identified in the

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

regulations with Susan Jenkins on February 8, 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 South Carolina

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://www.hsrd.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 Kathleen

Schneider, State Regulation Review Coordinator at (301) 415-2320 (email: kxs@nrc.gov) or

Monica Orendi at (301) 415-3938 (email: mlo1@nrc.gov).
