Mr. Rusty Lundberg, Director 

Division of Radiation Control 

Department of Environmental Quality 

195 North 1950 West 

Salt Lake City, UT 84116 

Dear Mr. Lundberg: 

We have reviewed the final Utah Radiation Control Rules received by our office on October 27, 

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 Mr. Spencer Wickham on December 1, 2014. 

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 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 Utah regulations, as 

indicated. In addition, in response to the September 17, 2014, e-mail from Craig Jones of your 

staff, the error identified on the SRS Data Sheet has been corrected. 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 Office of Nuclear Material 

Safety and Safeguards Web site: http://nrc-stp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html. 
R. Lundberg -2- 

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 Kathleen Schneider at (301) 415-2320
