Mr. Richard Ratliff, Director 

Radiation Program 

Texas Department of State Health Services 

P.O. Box 149347, MC 1987 

Austin, TX 78714-9347 

Dear Mr. Ratliff: 

We have reviewed the final revision to the Texas Regulations for Control of Radiation, 25 Texas 

Administrative Code (TAC), received by our office on March 22, 2015. These regulations were 

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

and the requirements of the 12 amendments identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status 

(SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Chuck Flynn on May 26, 

2015. 

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

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 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 Web site: 

http://nrc-stp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html.
