NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 

December 16, 2014 

Mr. Rusty Lundberg, Director 

Utah Division of Radiation Control 

195 North 1950 West 

Salt Lake City, UT 84114 

Dear Mr. Lundberg: 

We have reviewed the proposed regulations to the Utah regulations, Utah Radiation Control 

Rules R313-37, received by our office on October 1, 2014. These regulations were reviewed by 

comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and the 

requirements of the one amendment identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) 

Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on December 16, 2014. 

As a result of our review, we have two 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 Utah 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 Utah 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 Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) 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 NMSS 

Procedure SA-201, “Review of State Regulatory Requirements,” please highlight the final 

changes, and provide a copy to Division of Material Safety, State, Tribal and Rulemaking 

Programs, NMSS. 

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Utah 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 NMSS Web site: http://nrc-stp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html. 

Additionally, please note that NRC has previously issued certain security Orders to one Utah 

licensee. We have not listed the name of the licensee 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 Utah’s promulgation of final 

regulations. Accordingly, close coordination is needed between NRC and your office to ensure 
R. Lundberg -2- 

there are no conflicts, duplications, or gaps regarding the security-related requirements for 

these licensees. Please contact Adelaide Giantelli, Source Management and Protection 

Branch, NMSS at (301) 415-3521 (Adelaide.Giantelli@nrc.gov) for information regarding the 

affected State licensee and for coordination with rescission of the NRC-issued Orders for this 

licensee after State’s promulgation and NRC’s review of the final Utah 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 Michelle Beardsley, 

State Regulation Review Coordinator, at (610) 337-6942 (Michelle.Beardsley@nrc.gov) or 

Solomon Sahle at (301) 415-3781 (Solomon.Sahle@nrc.gov).
