Dear Ms. Hinkel: 

In response to your April 4, 2014, letter, corrections and updates were identified on the State 

Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet for New York State Department of Environmental 

Conservation (NYDEC). We have reviewed your request and agree to all changes and updates 

to the SRS Data Sheet except for Regulation Action Tracking System (RATS) ID: 2012-2 which 

addresses changes to 10 CFR Part 71, Advance Notification to Native American Tribes of 

Transportation of Certain Types of Nuclear Waste and the 10 CFR Part 71 portion of RATS ID: 

2012-3, Technical Corrections, Parts 30, 34, 40 and 71. Our understanding is that NYDEC is 

the agency responsible for the issuance of the compatible transportation requirements for 

implementation in the State of New York and therefore needs to address 10 CFR Part 71 

requirements. 

Agreement States are expected to adopt the Compatibility provisions of 10 CFR Part 71, 

including the Compatibility Category B provisions of 10 CFR 71.97, Advance Notification of 

Shipment of Irradiated Reactor Fuel and Nuclear Waste, for the requirements pertaining to the 

shipment of licensed material other than irradiated fuel, meeting the conditions as listed in 10 

CFR 71.97(b). This licensed material, which is nuclear waste, is part of authority that the 

Agreement States have under their 274b. Agreements including the requirements for advance 

notification to Indian Tribes of these shipments. Agreement States do not have regulatory 

jurisdiction over irradiated reactor fuel as noted in your letter and should not address that 

material in the adoption of RATS ID: 2012-2. NYDEC should also address the corrections to 10 

CFR Part 71 as noted in RATS ID: 2012-3.
S. Hinkel -2- 

As a result of our review of your request, we have attached a revision to your SRS sheet. This 

letter, including the SRS Data Sheet, will be posted on the FSME website: http://nrcstp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html. If you have any questions regarding the revision, please contact 

me at (301) 415-2320 (Kathleen.Schneider@nrc.gov).
