OFFICE OF AIR AND RADIATION

Mr. J. R. Stroble Manager, National TRU Program U.S. Department of Energy P.O. Box 3090 Carlsbad, NM 88221 Dcar Mr. Stroblc: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reviewed the information provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) in your January 28, 2011 letter reporting the Tier 2(T2) changes made during fiscal year 2011(FY11), first quarter (October -December). Transuranic (TRL') waste sites with EPAapproved waste characterization (WC) programs must report their T2 changes on a quarterly basis as established in EPA's site—specific baseline approvals. For FY11 first quarter, we reviewed the reported T2 changes at the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project and the Central Characterization Project EPA does not object to any of the changes reported in the enclosures to your letters. The enclosure to this letter identifies the documents we need, in their entirety, to better understand the specific topic, and to be better informed of the exact nature of the T2 changes made to the approved WC activities. This information will also assist us in planning future inspections. We request that CBFO provide the documents in electronic format, via the internet or on a CD and then notify EPA by e-mail when they are available. Please contact Rajani Joglekar (202-343-9462) or Ed Feltconn (202-343-9422) if you have any questions. 

### Sincerely,

e ✓ Tom Peake, Director Center for Waste Management and Regulations Enclosure
