NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001

Mr. W. Lee Cox, III, Section Chief 

Radiation Protection Section 

North Carolina Department of Health 

 and Human Services 

5505 Creedmoor Road, Suite 100 

Raleigh, NC 27612 

Dear Mr. Cox: 

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the North Carolina regulations 10A NCAC Chapter 

15, received by our office on November 23, 2015. These regulations were reviewed by 

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

requirements of the six amendments identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) 

Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with James Albright on January 6, 

2016. 

As a result of our review, we have 12 comments related to compatibility and one comment that 

is not related to compatibility but should be addressed. These comments have been identified 

in the enclosure. Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for 

compatibility and/or health and safety. Under our current procedure, a finding that the North 

Carolina regulations meet the compatibility and health and safety categories of the equivalent 

NRC regulation may only be made based on a review of the final North Carolina regulations. 

However, we have determined that if your proposed regulations were adopted, 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 the proposed regulations are adopted and published as final regulations, 

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 final 

changes, 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 North Carolina 

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:

- Domestic Licensing of Source 

Material; Domestic Licensing of 

Special Nuclear Material; and 

Packaging and Transportation of 

Radioactive Material 

In 10A NCAC 15.0117(a), NC 

incorporates by reference select 

regulations from 10 CFR chapter 1. 

10A NCAC 15.0117(a) also 

incorporates by references “any 

subsequent amendments and 

editions.” In 10A NCAC 15.0307, 

15.0316, 15.0337, 15.0338, 15.0357, 

NC incorporates many of the same 

regulations from 10 CFR chapter 1 

but “exclud[es] subsequent 

amendments and editions,” creating 

an inconsistency in NCAC chapter 15. 

NC should amend chapter 15 of the 

NCAC so that subsequent 

amendments and editions are either 

incorporated by reference or not 

incorporated by reference.
