Sacramento, CA 95899-7414 

Dear Mr. Perez: 

We have reviewed the final revision to the California regulations 17 CCR 30194; 30345.3 and 

the license condition/legally binding requirement (LBR), received by our office on July 11, 2013. 

These regulations and LBR were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 30, 36, 39, 40, 70, 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 and LBRs with Phillip Scott on August 16, 2013. 

As a result of our review, we have no comments. We have determined that the California 

license condition meets 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.” 

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other California regulations 

and legal binding requirements, as indicated. We have corrected an error on the date for the 

SRS Data Sheet issued on July 3, 2013. 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. 
G. Perez -2-

categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact Kathleen
