II. Background 

Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently 

submitted a request for renewal of an 

existing collection of information to 

OMB for review entitled, ‘‘General 

Domestic Licenses for Byproduct 

Material.’’ The NRC hereby informs 

potential respondents that an agency 

may not conduct or sponsor, and that a 

person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

The NRC published a Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

May 24, 2024, 89 FR 45927. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: General Domestic Licenses 

for Byproduct Material. 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0016. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number, if applicable: 

Not applicable. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: Reports are submitted as 

events occur. General license 

registration requests may be submitted 

at any time. Changes to the information 

on the registration may be submitted as 

they occur. Devices meeting certain 

criteria must be registered annually. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Persons receiving, possessing, 

using, or transferring devices containing 

byproduct material. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 172,694 (10,418 reporting 

responses + 226 third-party responses + 

162,050 recordkeepers). 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 162,050 (18,843 NRC 

licensee respondents + 143,207, 

Agreement State licensee respondents). 

9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 45,116 hours. 

10. Abstract: Part 31 of title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘General Domestic Licenses for 

Byproduct Material’’ establishes general 

licenses for the possession and use of 

byproduct material in certain devices. 

General licensees are required to keep 

testing records and submit event reports 

identified in 10 CFR part 31, which 

assist the NRC in determining, with 

reasonable assurance, that devices are 

operated safely and without radiological 

hazard to users or the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

The NRC is considering modifying a 

previously issued order condition that 

would allow Waste Control Specialists 

LLC (WCS) to continue possessing 

certain transuranic waste, which 

originated from the Los Alamos 

National Laboratory (LANL), without an 

NRC license for another two years at its 

Andrews County, Texas site. WCS 

possesses the transuranic waste at issue 

under the terms of the 2023 Order. 

Based on the results of the EA that 

follows, the NRC is issuing a FONSI 

and, therefore, does not need to prepare 

an environmental impact statement. 

WCS operates a facility in Andrews 

County, Texas (WCS Site) that is 

licensed to process, store, and perform 

certain operations with certain types of 

radioactive material contained in lowlevel waste (LLW) and mixed waste. The 

WCS Site is also licensed to dispose of 

certain radioactive, hazardous, and toxic 

waste. Under an agreement authorized 

by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended, a State can assume regulatory 

authority over radioactive material. In 

1963, Texas entered into such an 

agreement and assumed regulatory 

authority over source material, 

byproduct material, and SNM under 

critical mass. The WCS Site is licensed 

by the Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for 

possession, treatment/operations, and 

storage of radioactive waste and 

disposal of LLW under Radioactive 

Materials License (RML) R04100. 

Section 70.3 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) requires 

persons who own, acquire, deliver, 

receive, possess, use, or transfer SNM to 

obtain a license pursuant to the 

requirements of 10 CFR part 70. The 

licensing requirements in 10 CFR part 

70 apply to persons in Agreement States 

possessing equal to or greater than 

critical mass quantities. However, 

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 September 25, 2000, WCS first 

requested an exemption from the 

licensing requirements in 10 CFR part 

70. On November 21, 2001, the NRC 

issued an order to WCS (2001 Order) 

granting an exemption from certain NRC 

regulations and permitting WCS, under 

specified conditions, to possess waste 

containing SNM in greater quantities 

than specified in 10 CFR part 150, at the 

WCS Storage and Treatment Facility 

without obtaining an NRC license 

pursuant to 10 CFR part 70. The 2001 

Order was published in the Federal 

Register on November 15, 2001. The 

NRC issued superseding Orders to WCS 

in 2004 (i.e., modified list of reagents), 

2009 (i.e., modified sampling 

requirements), 2014 (i.e., modified to 

include storage of LANL Waste), and 

2023 (i.e. modified to allow certain 

movement of LANL Waste, to allow 

certain preparation for shipment 

operations with LANL Waste, to update 

storage of LANL Waste) that modified 

the conditions in the 2001 Order. In 

addition, WCS’ authorization to possess 

the LANL waste was previously 

extended in two-year increments in 

2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022. 

On February 14, 2014, a radiation 

release event occurred at the U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) Waste 

Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Facility 

(WIPP Incident). In response, the DOE 

suspended operations at the WIPP 

Facility. In April 2014, WCS began 

receiving some specific waste from DOE 

that both WCS and DOE understood to 

meet both the U.S. Department of 

Transportation (DOT) shipping 

requirements and the conditions in the 

2009 Order. WCS began storing that 

waste at the Treatment, Storage, and 

Disposal Facility (TSDF) (previously 

known as Storage and Treatment 

Facility) on the WCS Site, identified as 

the Storage and Processing Facility in 

RML R04100, which is the WCS TCEQissued license. The waste was DOE 

transuranic waste that originated at 

LANL that was destined to be disposed 

of at the DOE WIPP Facility (i.e., ‘‘LANL 

Waste’’). In June 2014, WCS received 

information from DOE that some of the 

LANL Waste being temporarily stored at 

the TSDF may be of concern as the 

waste is similar to the waste that caused 

an incident at WIPP. In response, WCS 

moved some of the LANL Waste from 

the TSDF to the WCS’ Federal Waste 

Facility (FWF) Disposal Cell for 

temporary storage. 

By letter dated June 30, 2022, WCS 

requested a superseding NRC order to: 

(1) move the DOE LANL Waste from the 

FWF Disposal Cell to the TSDF Bin 

Storage Area-1 (BSA–1) Enclosure, (2) 

prepare the LANL Waste in the TSDF 

BSA–1 Enclosure for shipment, and (3) 

temporarily store the LANL Waste in the 

TSDF BSA–1 Enclosure until the DOE 

ships the LANL Waste off the WCS Site 

to a DOE determined location. By letter 

dated May 22, 2023, the NRC approved 

the WCS request and issued the 

superseding 2023 Order. 

By letter dated May 24, 2024, WCS 

requested that the effectiveness of its 

exemption from NRC requirements in 10 

CFR part 70 be extended with the 

modification of Condition 9.B.4 of the 

2023 Order to extend the timeframe for 

temporarily allowing possession of the 

LANL Waste at the WCS Site to ‘‘until 

December 31, 2026.’’ That proposal is 

the subject of this EA. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Description of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action is to modify the 

2023 Order Condition 9.B.4 to allow 

WCS to continue to possess the LANL 

Waste at specific locations at the WCS 

Site until December 31, 2026, without 

an NRC license. 

Need for the Proposed Action 

WCS made the request to continue to 

possess the LANL Waste while the DOEled Interagency Project Team (including 

WCS, DOE, U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, NRC, the State of 

Texas, and the State of New Mexico) 

works to recommend a path forward for 

disposition of the LANL Waste. Also, 

while the DOE WIPP Facility has 

resumed operations, some of the LANL 

Waste at the WCS Site cannot be 

shipped off the site at this time because 

it does not meet DOT shipping 

requirements. 

The purpose of this EA is to assess the 

potential environmental impacts of the 

WCS request to modify the 2023 Order 

Condition 9.B.4 to allow WCS to possess 

the LANL Waste at specific locations at 

the WCS Site until December 31, 2026, 

under the other 2023 Order Conditions. 

This EA does not approve or deny the 

requested action. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC does not expect changes in 

radiation hazards to workers or to the 

environment. WCS will continue to be 

required to ensure that the LANL Waste 

on the WCS Site is possessed safely and 

securely. WCS will continue to be 

required to notify the NRC of any events 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 29, 2024 / Notices 85993 

as appropriate, as set out in the 2023 

Order. No changes to its handling or 

associated hazards would occur as a 

result of granting the requested change. 

Other environmental impacts would be 

the same as evaluated in the EA that 

supported the 2023 Order, as applicable 

to the activities associated with the 

continued safe possession of the LANL 

Waste. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the NRC staff could deny the 

WCS request and, therefore, not issue a 

modification to the Order Condition 

9.B.4 that would authorize continued 

possession of the LANL Waste at the 

WCS Site after December 31, 2024 (i.e., 

the ‘‘no action’’ alternative). 

Upon expiration of the timeframe in 

the 2023 Order Condition 9.B.4, WCS 

would still be required to maintain the 

material safely. In addition, the NRC 

authorization of any change to the 

current possession of the LANL Waste at 

the WCS Site would still be required. As 

a result, under this alternative, there 

would be no environmental impacts 

different from the proposed action, 

although WCS would be expected to 

secure a license or other regulatory 

authorization for the possession of 

LANL Waste or potentially be in 

violation of 10 CFR part 70 upon the 

expiration of the term in the 2023 Order 

Condition 9.B.4. For the reasons noted 

in this notice, removing the material 

from the site prior to the expiration of 

the current term is not part of the noaction alternative. 

Thus, the ‘‘no action’’ alternative 

would not result in changes to the 

environmental impacts evaluated in the 

NRC’s prior EAs that supported the 

2023 Order or the previous NRC orders. 

Those prior EAs concluded that there 

would be no significant radiological or 

non-radiological environmental impacts 

associated with the possession of LANL 

Waste at the WCS Site, consistent with 

the conditions in those NRC orders. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

On October 1, 2024, the staff provided 

a copy of the draft EA to the TCEQ for 

its review and comment. The TCEQ 

provided its comments on October 1, 

2024. The NRC staff updated the EA in 

response to the TCEQ comments, as 

appropriate. 

The proposed action does not involve 

the development or disturbance of 

additional land. Hence, the NRC has 

determined that the proposed action 

will not affect listed endangered or 

threatened species or their critical 

habitat. Therefore, no further 

consultation is required under Section 7 

of the Endangered Species Act. 

Likewise, the NRC staff has determined 

that the proposed action does not have 

the potential to cause effects on 

historical properties even if present and 

no ground disturbing activities are 

associated with the proposed action. 

Therefore, no consultation is required 

under Section 106 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The NRC has reviewed the WCS May 

24, 2024, request to supplement the 

2023 Order to extend the possession 

time of the LANL Waste at specific 

locations at the WCS Site. The NRC has 

found that effluent releases and 

potential radiological doses to the 

public are not anticipated to change as 

a result of this action and that 

occupational exposures are expected to 

remain within regulatory limits and as 

low as reasonably achievable. On the 

basis of this EA, the NRC concludes that 

the proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. 

Accordingly, the NRC has determined 

not to prepare an environmental impact 

statement for the proposed action.

II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance 

of Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses and Combined Licenses and 

Proposed No Significant Hazards 

Consideration Determination 

For the facility-specific amendment 

requests shown in this notice, the 

Commission finds that the licensees’ 

analyses provided, consistent with 

section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) ‘‘Notice 

for public comment; State 

consultation,’’ are sufficient to support 

the proposed determinations that these 

amendment requests involve NSHC. 

Under the Commission’s regulations in 

10 CFR 50.92, operation of the facilities 

in accordance with the proposed 

amendments would not (1) involve a 

significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of 

a new or different kind of accident from 

any accident previously evaluated; or 

(3) involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. 

The Commission is seeking public 

comments on these proposed 

determinations. Any comments received 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice will be 

considered in making any final 

determinations. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendments until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission may issue any of these 

license amendments before expiration of 

the 60-day period provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves NSHC. In addition, the 

Commission may issue any of these 

amendments prior to the expiration of 

the 30-day comment period if 

circumstances change during the 30-day 

comment period such that failure to act 

in a timely way would result, for 

example in derating or shutdown of the
