P.O. Box 149347 

Austin, Texas 78714-9347 

Dear Mr. Flynn: 

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Texas regulations §289.201, §289.202, §289.251, 

§289.252, and §289.257 received by our office on March 14, 2016. These regulations were 

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

and the requirements of the eight amendments identified in the enclosed State Regulation 

Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed the results of the review with you on June 13, 2016. 

As a result of our review, we have 17 comments that have been identified in the enclosure. 

Many of these comments stand from our previous review of your regulations, the results of 

which were forwarded to your office by letter dated February 8, 2016 (ML15356A717). We 

understand that Texas intends to address these comments in future rulemakings. Please note 

that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. 

We have determined that if these regulations are revised, 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 you revise your regulations to address our comments, 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 location of any changes made 

by Texas, in response to our comments, 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 Texas Department of State Health Services 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.
