Dear Mr. McNees: 

We have reviewed the final changes to the Alabama regulations 420-3-26-.01, .02, .03, .07, and 

.10, received by our office on May 16, 2012. These regulations were reviewed by comparison 

to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 19, 20, 30, 31, 

32, 33, 35, 40, 61, 70, 150, and the requirements of the nine amendments identified in the 

enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the 

regulations with Dave Walter on July 13, 2012. 

As a result of our review, we have 24 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 Alabama, 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 Alabama 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.

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