Springfield, IL. 62704 

Dear Mr. Vinson: 

We have reviewed the proposed changes to the Illinois regulations 32 Illinois Administrative 

Code 32 Illinois Administrative Parts 310, 330, 332, and 346 received by our office on 

February 18, 2014. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Parts 30, 36, 39, 40, 70, 150 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 you on March 25, 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 proposed, 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.” 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 FSME Procedure SA-201,”Review of State Regulatory 

Requirements,” please highlight any final changes and provide a copy to Division of Materials 

Safety and State Agreements, FSME. 

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Illinois 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 FSME website: http://nrc-stp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html.
