Dear Mr. Miller: 

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Louisiana regulations Louisiana Administrative 

Code, Title 33, Part XV, Radiation Protection, received by our office on November 30, 2012. 

These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 19, 20, 30, 31, 32, 35, 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 Judy Schuerman on March 20, 2013. 

As a result of our review, we have 18 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, “Compatibility Categories 

and Health and Safety Identification for NRC Regulations and Other Program Elements.” 

We request that when you revise your regulations to address our comments, a copy of the “as 

published” regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in FSME Procedure SA-201, 

“Review of State Regulatory Requirements,” please highlight the location of any changes made 

by Louisiana, 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 Louisiana regulations 

and legally binding requirements, 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://nrcstp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html.
