Dear Mr. McNees: 

We have reviewed the final revision to the Alabama regulations, 420-3-26-.01 and 420-3-26-.02, 

received by our office on July 27, 2010. 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 David Walter on August 25, 2010. 

As a result of our review, we have 40 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. We have determined that if these regulations are revised, 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 you revise your regulations to address our comments, 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 location of any changes made 

by Alabama, in response to our comments, 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 Alabama 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) 415-2320 

(kathleen.schneider@nrc.gov) or Monica Orendi at (301) 415-3938 (monica.orendi@nrc.gov). 

Sincerely, 

/RA/
