SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) is 

providing notice in the Matter of Waste 

Control Specialists, LLC (WCS) of the 

issuance of an order to modify WCS’s 

exemption from the requirements of 10 

CFR part 70. 

II. Further Information 

I 

In letters dated August 6, 2003, and 

March 15, 2004, WCS requested a 

modification to its exemption from 

certain NRC regulations relative to the 

possession of special nuclear material 

(SNM). A license pursuant to 10 CFR 

part 70 issued by NRC is required for 

quantities of SNM in excess of the limits 

in 10 CFR 150.11. WCS is requesting a 

modification to its exemption from 

licensing under part 70 for possession of 

greater than the part 150 SNM limits. 

The NRC issued the initial exemption to 

WCS in November 2001. 

WCS operates a low-level waste 

(LLW) and mixed waste (MW) storage 

and treatment facility in Andrews 

County, Texas. The facility also 

disposes of hazardous waste. Texas is an 

Agreement State. This facility is 

licensed by the State of Texas 

Department of Health (TDH) under a 10 

CFR part 30 equivalent radioactive 

materials license (RML). The facility is 

also licensed by the Texas Commission 

on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to 

treat and dispose of hazardous waste. In 

1997, WCS began accepting Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

and Toxic Substance Control Act 

(TSCA) wastes for treatment, storage, 

and disposal. Later that year, WCS 

received a license from TDH for 

treatment and storage of MW and LLW. 

The MW and LLW streams may contain 

quantities of SNM. 

II 

Section 70.3 of 10 CFR part 70 

requires persons who own, acquire, 

deliver, receive, possess, use, or transfer 

SNM to obtain a license pursuant to the 

requirements in 10 CFR part 70. The 

licensing requirements in 10 CFR part 

70 apply to persons in Agreement States 

possessing greater than critical mass 

quantities as defined in 10 CFR 150.11. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 70.17(a), ‘‘the 

Commission may * * * grant such 

exemptions from the requirements of 

the regulations in this part as it 

determines are authorized by law and 

will not endanger life or property or the 

common defense and security and are 

otherwise in the public interest.’’

On November 21, 2001, the NRC 

transmitted an Order to WSC. The Order 

was published in the Federal Register

on November 15, 2001 (66 FR 57489). 

The Order exempted WCS from certain 

NRC regulations and permitted WCS, 

under specified conditions, to possess 

waste containing SNM in greater 

quantities than specified in 10 CFR part 

150, at WCS’s storage and treatment 

facility in Andrews County, Texas, 

without obtaining an NRC license 

pursuant to 10 CFR part 70. The 

methodology used to establish these 

limits is discussed in the 2001 Safety 

Evaluation Report (SER) that supported 

the 2001 Order.
