State Program Concerns: The NRC does not regulate
x-ray machines (including mammography activities), technologically enhanced
naturally occurring radioactive material (TENORM), and nonionzing radiation
activities (including lasers, microwaves, and tanning booths and salons).
These activities are regulated by most State agencies. If you have concerns
regarding these activities, please contact the appropriate State
Radiation Control Program.
Agreement State Program Concerns: There are 35 States
which have entered into an Agreement with the NRC, whereby the NRC has
relinquished authority and those States have assumed regulatory authority
over certain byproduct, source, and small quantities of special nuclear
materials (referred to as Agreement materials). The 35 Agreement States
are: AL, AZ, AR, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MN,
MS, NE, NV, NH, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT,
WA and WI.
If your concerns involve violation of requirements and wrongdoing by
individuals or organizations involving Agreement materials located within
one of the Agreement State's listed above, you may contact the State
directly. Agreement States prefer direct contact since it allows the
State to obtain all the necessary information and facilitates the ability
of the State to investigate and respond to concern(s). However, please
be advised that some Agreement States cannot protect alleger's identities
from public release. Please see "Ability
of Agreement States To Protect Alleger's Identity From Public Disclosure."
For information on NRC's allegation program see Management
Directive (MD) 8.8, "Management of Allegations". If you
decide to contact the Agreement State directly after reviewing Exhibit
8, please contact the appropriate Agreement
State Radiation Control Program.
If you decide not to contact the Agreement State directly, please contact
Ms. Carrie Brown at 1-800-368-5642, ext. 415-8092 or e-mail: cxb@nrc.gov.
In addition, you may contact any NRC employee (including a resident
inspector), or call: NRC's Toll-Free Safety Hotline: (800) 695-7403.
