SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the Secretary of Energy 
Advisory Board's Panel on Emerging Technological Alternatives to 
Incineration is to provide independent external advice and 
recommendations to the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board on emerging 
technological alternatives to incineration for the treatment of mixed 
waste which the Department of Energy should pursue. The Panel will 
focus on the evaluation of emerging non-incineration technologies for 
the treatment of low-level, alpha low-level and transuranic wastes 
containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other hazardous 
constituents. Waste categories to be addressed include inorganic 
homogeneous solids, organic homogeneous solids, and soils. The Panel 
will also evaluate whether the emerging non-incineration technologies 
could be implemented in a manner that would allow the Department of 
Energy to comply with all legal requirements, including those contained 
in the Settlement Agreement and Consent Order signed by the State of 
Idaho, Department of Energy, and the U.S. Navy in October 1995.
