Dear Ms Gray: 

 

This letter is in response to Ms. Milgram’s January 8, 2010 letter regarding the appropriateness 

of New Jersey’s adoption by reference of 10 CFR 30.7, Employee Protection. As we discussed 

on January 25, 2010, the requirements in 10 CFR 30.7 are classified as Compatibility Category 

D, which are NRC program elements that do not meet any of the Criteria of Category A, B, or C 

as noted in Management Directive 5.9, Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State 

Programs (see http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/managementdirectives/volumes/vol-5.html) and do not need to be adopted by Agreement States for purposes 

of compatibility. 

The complete listing of NRC regulations and their compatibility categories required for adoption 

by Agreement States can be found on the Federal and State Materials and Environmental 

Management Programs website Regulation Toolbox: Review Summary Sheets for Regulation 

Adoption for New Agreement States/Programs http://nrcstp.ornl.gov/regsumsheets_newregs.html. The requirements for Part 30 are posted at http://nrcstp.ornl.gov/regulationtoolbox/10cfr30.pdf. 

If you have any additional questions regarding the compatibility and health and safety 

categories, or any of the NRC regulations please contact me at (301) 415-2320 

(kathleen.schneider@nrc.gov). 

Sincerely, 

/RA/
