Columbus, Ohio 43215 

Dear Mr. Snee: 

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Ohio Administrative Code in 3701:1-37, 

received by our office on June 30, 2015. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to 

the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules 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 July 21, 2015. 

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 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 any 

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 Ohio 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. 
M. Snee -2-

categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact Michelle
