Department of Environmental Quality 

P.O. Box 14485 

Salt Lake City, Utah 84114 

Dear Mr. Lundberg: 

We have reviewed the final revision to the Utah regulations R313-22-75 and R313-36, received by 

our office on March 7, 2012. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 61, 150 

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 Craig Jones on April 16, 2012. 

As a result of our review, we have two 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 

Utah, 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 Utah 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. 

 
 - 2 - 

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 Rachel 

Browder at (817) 200-1116 (rachel.browder@nrc.gov). 

Sincerely, 

/RA/
