NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 

July 29, 2014 

Mr. David Scaturo, Director 

Division of Waste Management 

South Carolina Department of Health and 

 Environmental Control 

2600 Bull Street 

Columbia, SC 29201 

Dear Mr. Scaturo: 

We have reviewed the proposed changes to the South Carolina regulations, Radioactive 

Materials Regulations 61-63, Title A, received by our office on May 2, 2014. These regulations 

were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

rules in 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 70, 71, 150 and the 

requirements of the seven amendments identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status 

(SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Susan Jenkins on July 28, 

2014. 

As a result of our review, we have 23 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. Under our current procedure, a finding that the South Carolina regulations 

meet the compatibility and health and safety categories of the equivalent NRC regulation may 

only be made based on a review of the final South Carolina regulations. However, we have 

determined that if your proposed regulations were adopted, 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 the proposed regulations are adopted and published as final regulations, 

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 final 

changes, 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 South Carolina 

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 Web site: http://nrc-stp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html. 

Additionally, please note that NRC has previously issued certain security Orders to three South 

Carolina licensees. We have not listed the names of the licensees in this letter because that 

information is Official Use Only and cannot be made publicly available. Because the 

NRC-issued Orders are still legally binding, they must be rescinded by NRC concurrent with 

State’s promulgation of final regulations equivalent to 10 CFR Part 37. Accordingly, close 

coordination is needed between NRC and your office to ensure there are no conflicts,

duplications, or gaps regarding the security-related requirements for these licensees. Please 

contact Adelaide Giantelli, Branch Chief, Source Management and Protection Branch, FSME at 

(301) 415-3521 (adelaide.giantelli@nrc.gov) for information regarding the affected State 

licensees and for coordination with rescission of the NRC-issued Orders for these licensees 

after South Carolina’s promulgation and NRC’s review of the final South Carolina regulations. 

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 Monica Ford at (610) 337-5214 (monica.ford@nrc.gov).
