Dear Mr. Howe: 

We have reviewed the final revisions to the State of Oregon, Radiation Protections Services 

Section, Administrative Rules, received by our office on February 11, 2013. These regulations 

were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 

10 CFR Part 71 and the requirements of one amendment identified in the enclosed State 

Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Todd 

Carpenter on March 8, 2013. 

As a result of our review, we have no comments. Please note that we have limited our review to 

regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. We have determined that the 

regulations, as adopted, 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.” 

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

legally binding requirements, 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 review results, 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
