Columbus, OH 43215 

Dear Mr. Snee: 

We have reviewed the final revision to the Ohio regulations in the Ohio Administrative Code, 

received by our office on November 9, 2010. These regulations were reviewed by comparison 

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

33, 35, 40, 61, 70, 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 

you on January 11, 2011. 

As a result of our review, we have three 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 Ohio, 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 Ohio 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 Nicole Coleman at 301-415-1048 (nicole.coleman@nrc.gov). 

Sincerely, 

/RA/

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

1 3701: 

1-38-01 

20.1003 2007-3 B Definition: Waste 

In Ohio regulation, 3701:1-38-01 

(A)(175), reference to (A)(26)(c) and 

(A)(26)(d) should be removed. There 

are no such sections in the Ohio 

regulation. 

Ohio regulation, 3701:1-38-

01(A)(175) should read, “Waste” 

means those low-level radioactive 

wastes containing source, special 

nuclear, or byproduct material that are 

acceptable for disposal in a land 

disposal facility. For the purposes of 

this definition, low-level radioactive 

waste means radioactive waste not 

classified as high-level radioactive 

waste, transuranic waste, spent 

nuclear fuel, byproduct material as 

defined in paragraph (A)(26)(b) of this 

rule, or byproduct material as defined 

in section 11 E. (3) and (4) of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended. 

Ohio needs to make the above 

changes in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category B designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 20.1003.

1-40-13 

30.20(a) 2007-3 B Gas and aerosol detectors 

containing byproduct material 

Ohio regulation, 3701:1-46-13(A), 

needs to replace the term “byproduct 

material” with the term “radioactive 

material” in the first sentence. 

Referenced in Ohio regulation 

3701:1-40-13(A) and (B), regulation 

3701:1-46-27, could not be located in 

Ohio’s Administrative Code. Ohio 

needs to reference the correct 

regulation. 

Ohio needs to make the above 

changes in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category B designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 30.20.
