Dear Mr. Lickerman:

We have reviewed the final revision to the New York City Department of Health regulations in

Article 175 of the New York City Health Code “Radiation Control”, received by our office via

email on January 25, 2007. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 19, 20, 30, 40, 70, and 150 and

the requirements of the three amendments identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status

(SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on February 20, 2007.

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 City

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://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

William Rautzen at (301) 415-7206 (email: wrr@nrc.gov).
