Mr. Augustinus Ong, Administrator 

State of New Hampshire 

Department of Health and Human Services 

Radiological Health Section 

29 Hazen Drive 

Concord, New Hampshire 03301-6503 

Dear Mr. Ong: 

We have reviewed the New Hampshire legally binding requirements to address implementation 

of 10 CFR Part 37, Physical Protection of Byproduct Material, received by our office on 

February 25, 2016. These requirements 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 legally binding requirements with you on February 29, 2016. 

As a result of our review, we have no comments. We have determined that New Hampshire’s 

legally binding requirements 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.” 

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other New Hampshire 

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 State Communication Portal: 

https://scp.nrc.gov/rulemaking.html.

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