Raleigh, NC 27609-7221 

Dear Mr. Cox: 

We have reviewed the proposed changes to the North Carolina regulations 15A NCAC 11, 

received by our office on August 18, 2011. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to 

the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 19, 20, 30, 31, 32, 

35, 40, 61, 70, 71,150 and the requirements of the nine amendments identified in the enclosed 

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

Gerald Speight on October 6, 2011. 

As a result of our review, we have 25 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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina 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 North 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://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 (610) 337-5214 (monica.orendi@nrc.gov).

 COMPATIBILITY COMMENTS ON North Carolina PROPOSED REGULATIONS 

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

1 15A NCAC 

11.0104 and 

11.0117 

20.1003 

30.4 

150.3 

2007-3 H&S Definition: Byproduct Material 

North Carolina omits equivalent 

paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) from its 

definition of Byproduct Material in 

11.0104. 

North Carolina also incorporates by 

reference the definition of Byproduct 

Material from 10 CFR 30.4 in 

11.0117. 

These two definitions are in conflict 

with each other and one needs to be 

removed. If the first paragraph above 

stays in place then North Carolina 

needs to add equivalent paragraphs 

(2), (3), and (4) to their definition. If 

Paragraph 2 above stays in place 

then the definition for radioactive 

material in 11.0104 should state “has 

the meaning defined in 10 CFR 30.4 

Byproduct Material as incorporated by 

reference in 15A NCAC 11.0117.” 

North Carolina needs to make the 

above change in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category H&S 

designation assigned to 10 CFR 

20.1003 Definition Byproduct 

Material. 

2 15A NCAC 

11.0104 

20.1003 

61.2 

2007-3 B Definition: Waste 

North Carolina incorporates by 

reference the definition of Byproduct 

Material from 11.0104 into the 

Definition of Waste. (See comment 1 

above). In the second sentence in 

the definition of waste, North Carolina 

needs to exclude equivalent 

paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) of 

byproduct material as defined by 

NRC. 
STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

North Carolina needs to make the 

above change in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category B designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 20.1003 

Definition Waste. 

3 15A NCAC 

11.0301 

30.3 2007-3 C North Carolina omits “manufacture 

and produce” after “no person shall” 

in 11.0301(a). 

North Carolina needs to make the 

above change in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category C designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 30.3(a). 

4 15A NCAC 

11.0303 

30.14 2007-2 B Exempt Concentrations 

North Carolina references 11.0325 as 

the equivalent to 10 CFR 32.11 in 

11.0303(a). However 10 CFR 32.11 

is a Compatibility Category NRC 

which means that North Carolina 

should not have an equivalent section 

in their regulations. North Carolina 

needs to remove 15A NCAC 11.0325 

and remove the reference to 11.0325 

from 11.0303(a) and replace it with 10 

CFR 32.11. 

In 11.0303(b) North Carolina states 

“... and introduced into the product or 

material by a licensee holding a 

specific license issued by the Agency 

expressly authorizing such 

introduction.” Authorization for 

introduction of exempt concentrations 

of material is an activity delegated 

only to the NRC. North Carolina 

needs to change 11.0303(b) to read 

“... and introduced into the product or 

material by a licensee holding a 

specific license issued by the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

expressly authorizing such 

introduction.” 
STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

North Carolina has errors in the 

Exempt Concentrations Table in 

11.0303(d). The line containing Ar 41 

and 4x10-7 needs to be shifted to the 

right by one column. The values for 

both Kr 85m and Kr 85 are listed in 

the liquid and solid column; however, 

they should be shifted left to the gas 

concentration column. The number 

for Neodymium (60) is incorrect. It 

should read 3x10-3. The number 

listed for Ruthenium (44), Ru 97 is 

incorrect. It should read 4x10-4. The 

number listed for Strontium (85) is 

incorrect. It should read 1x10-4. The 

values for Xe 131m, Xe 133, and Xe 

135 are listed in the liquid and solid 

column; however, they should be 

shifted left to the gas concentration 

column. The entries for Polonium 

(210), Radium (226) and Radium 

(228) should be deleted. 

North Carolina needs to make the 

above changes in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category B designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 30.14.

North Carolina omits “or persons who 

initially transfer for sale or distribution 

the following products” between “who 

incorporate radioactive material into 

the following products” and “any 

person is exempt”. 

North Carolina omits an equivalent 

regulation to 10 CFR 30.15(a)(7). 

North Carolina needs to make the

B Exempt Quantities 

North Carolina incorporates 

regulations designated Compatibility 

Category NRC which are solely the 

authority of the NRC. North Carolina 

needs to remove 15A NCAC 11.0304 

(c)(2) and (3) and also remove 

11.0326 since 10 CFR 32.18 is listed 

as a Compatibility Category NRC. 

North Carolina needs to make the

30.72 2007-3 H&S Schedule C – Quantities of 

radioactive material requiring 

consideration of the need for an 

emergency plan for responding to 

a release 

After Carbon-14 North Carolina states 

“(NON CO)”; however, this is incorrect 

and should state “(NON CO2) or (noncarbon dioxide)” as stated in 10 CFR 

30.72 Schedule C. 

The release fraction for Americium242 should be “.001”. 

North Carolina needs to make the

North Carolina adopts this regulation 

by promulgation and by reference. 

In 11.0117 North Carolina adopts 10 
STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

CFR Part 31 by reference. 

In 11.0309 North Carolina uses more 

restrictive language so no change is 

necessary. (Compatibility Category 

was changed for 10 CFR 31.5 from a 

B to a C in SECY 10-105) 

11.0117 and 11.0309 are in conflict 

with each other so North Carolina 

needs to delete either the adoption by 

reference for 10 CFR 31.5 or delete 

the rule promulgation as written in 

11.0309.
