Stephen M. Gavitt, Director 

Center for Environmental Health 

Bureau of Environmental Radiation Protection 

Empire State Plaza-Corning Tower, 12th Floor 

Albany, New York 12237 

Dear Mr. Gavitt: 

We have reviewed the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) license conditions that 

were received by our office on January 8, 2014. These license conditions were reviewed by 

comparison to the equivalent NRC rules in 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 40, 61, 70, and the 

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

Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the license condition with Robert Dansereau on 

February 11, 2014. 

As a result of our review, we have no comments. We have determined that the NYS DOH 

license conditions meet the compatibility and health and safety categories established in the 

Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs (FSME) 

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 NYS DOH regulations and 

legal binding requirements, 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 FSME website: http://nrc-stp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html. 
S. Gavitt -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 Kathleen Schneider, 

State Regulation Review Coordinator, at (301) 415-2320 (kathleen.schneider@nrc.gov) or David 

Spackman at (301) 415-6389 (david.spackman@nrc.gov).
