Dear Mr. Fletcher: 

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Maryland regulations Supplement 28 to COMAR 

26.12.01.01 titled “Regulations for the Control of Ionizing Radiation (1994),” received by our 

office on November 29, 2016. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the 

equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and the requirements of 

Regulation Amendment Tracking System Identification Numbers (RATS IDs) 2015-1, 2015-2, 

2015-3, 2015-4 and 2015-5 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data 

Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Michael Kurman on January 19, 2017. 

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

As noted in comments 3, 4, and 7, Maryland cannot adopt those regulations reserved to the 

NRC. However please note that Management Directive 5.9 and NMSS Procedure SA-200 state 

that while some regulations are reserved to the NRC, they may also be applicable to Agreement 

State licensees. In those cases the State cannot adopt these regulations, but should inform any 

applicable licensees of this rule change through an appropriate mechanism under the State's 

administrative procedure laws as long as the State adopts these provisions solely for the 

purposes of notification. 

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 Maryland, in response to our comments, and provide a copy to the Division of Material 

Safety, State, Tribal, and Rulemaking Programs, NMSS. The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our 

knowledge of the status of other Maryland 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. 
R. Fletcher -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 (267) 884-2305
