NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2014–0080] 

Low-Level Radioactive Waste 

Regulatory Program 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Draft programmatic assessment 

results; request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is requesting 

comment on a draft list of prioritized 

low-level radioactive waste (LLW) tasks 

based upon the assessment updates to 

the strategic assessment (now called a 

programmatic assessment) performed in 

2007. The objective of this updated 

assessment remains the same as the 

2007 assessment; that is, to identify and 

prioritize tasks that the NRC staff can 

undertake to ensure a stable, reliable, 

and adaptable regulatory framework for 

effective LLW management, while also 

considering future needs and changes 

that may occur in the nation’s 

commercial LLW management system. 

In 2014, through public meetings, 

webinars, and Federal Register notices, 

the NRC staff solicited public comment 

on what changes, if any, should be made 

to the current LLW program’s regulatory 

framework, as well as specific actions 

that the staff might undertake to 

facilitate such changes. The NRC staff 

considered the comments received, 

performed an assessment of the 

comments, and developed a draft list of 

prioritized LLW tasks. 

DATES: Submit comments by April 13, 

2015. Comments received after this date 

will be considered if it is practical to do 

so, but the NRC is able to assure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date.

II. Background 

In 2007, due to developments in the 

national program for LLW disposal, as 

well as changes in the regulatory 

environment, the NRC’s LLW program 

faced new challenges and issues. New 

technical issues related to protection of 

public health and the environment and 

security emerged. These challenges and 

issues included (1) the need for greater 

flexibility and reliability in LLW 

disposal options; (2) increased storage of 

Class B and Class C LLW because of the 

potential closing of the Barnwell, South 

Carolina disposal facility to out-ofcompact waste generators; (3) the 

potential need to dispose of large 

quantities of power plant 

decommissioning waste, as well as 

depleted uranium (DU) from enrichment 

facilities; (4) increased safety concerns; 

(5) the need for greater LLW program 

resources than were available; (6) 

increased security concerns related to 

storing LLW in general and sealed 

radioactive sources in particular; and (7) 

the potential for generation of new 

waste streams (for example, by the next 

generation of nuclear reactors and the 

potential reemergence of nuclear fuel 

reprocessing in the United States). 

Based on these challenges and issues, 

the NRC staff conducted a Strategic 

Assessment of the NRC’s LLW 

regulatory program. Based on extensive 

stakeholder input during public 

meetings, the NRC staff received a 

variety of tasks to be included in the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

13452 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 49 / Friday, March 13, 2015 / Notices 

Strategic Assessment and evaluated 

them based on the overall strategic 

objectives for ensuring safety, and 

security, and other factors. From these 

solicited tasks, the NRC developed a list 

of 20 tasks responsive to identified 

programmatic needs. These tasks were 

assigned priorities of high, medium, or 

low, and ranged from narrowly focused 

tasks such as updating LLW storage 

guidance to broader tasks such as 

suggesting legislative changes to 

Congress to improve the national LLW 

program. 

The NRC staff issued the strategic 

assessment in late 2007 in SECY–07– 

0180, ‘‘Strategic Assessment of LowLevel Radioactive Waste Regulatory 

Program’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML071350291). The strategic 

assessment identified and prioritized 

the NRC staff’s tasks to ensure that the 

LLW program continued to: (1) Ensure 

safe and secure LLW disposal; (2) 

improve the effectiveness, efficiency, 

and adaptability of the NRC’s LLW 

regulatory program; and (3) ensure 

regulatory stability, and predictability, 

while allowing flexibility in disposal 

options. 

Since 2007, the NRC has completed 

several high priority tasks identified in 

the 2007 Strategic Assessment, 

including updating guidance for LLW 

storage and evaluating the disposal of 

DU and the measures needed to ensure 

its safe disposal. In addition, the NRC 

continues to work on the revisions to 

part 61 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) and implementation 

of the update to the Concentration 

Averaging and Encapsulation Branch 

Technical Position. In addition, the 

national LLW program continues to 

evolve. 

To set the direction for the NRC’s 

LLW regulatory program in the next 

several years, the NRC began developing 

a new strategic assessment of its LLW 

program (now called a programmatic 

assessment). The objective of this 

updated programmatic assessment 

remains the same as the 2007 strategic 

assessment; i.e., to identify and 

prioritize tasks that the NRC can 

undertake to ensure a stable, reliable 

and adaptable regulatory framework for 

effective LLW management, while also 

considering future needs and changes 

that may occur in the nation’s 

commercial LLW management system. 

The NRC solicited public comment on 

what changes, if any, should be made to 

the current LLW program’s regulatory 

framework, as well as specific actions 

that the NRC might undertake to 

facilitate such changes. Specifically, the 

NRC requested comments at a public 

workshop in Phoenix, Arizona on 

March 7, 2014. Additionally, the NRC 

requested comments by issuing a 

Federal Register notice on May 15, 2014 

(79 FR 27772), with a 60-day public 

comment period. The NRC also held 

webinars on June 17, 2014, and July 8, 

2014, requesting comments on the 

proposed update to the assessment. The 

initial comment period was scheduled 

to close on July 14, 2014. However, on 

July 9, 2014 (79 FR 38796), the NRC 

extended the comment period to 

September 15, 2014. The NRC sought 

comments on developments that would 

affect the LLW regulatory program over 

the next several years and that would 

affect licensees and sited States and 

actions that the NRC could take to 

ensure safety, security, and the 

protection of the environment. 

The NRC received twelve comment 

submissions to the Federal Register 

notices and also received numerous 

comments as the result of the public 

meeting and webinars. The comment 

submissions are available on the federal 

rulemaking Web site at http://

www.regulations.gov under Docket ID 

NRC–2014–0080. 

III. Updated Prioritized List of LLW 

Tasks 

The NRC received numerous 

comments in response to the request for 

suggested updates to the programmatic 

assessment. Many commenters 

expressed similar views, but there also 

were conflicting comments (e.g., some 

commenters wanted the NRC to make it 

easier to dispose of Low Activity Waste 

(LAW) at Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act sites or other disposal 

facilities not licensed in accordance 

with the NRC’s regulations in 10 CFR 

part 61; other commenters wanted the 

NRC to require that disposal of LAW be 

done only at licensed LLW sites). 

Comments that were determined to be 

outside the scope of the programmatic 

assessment or comments related to tasks 

that have been recently completed by 

the NRC are not addressed in this 

programmatic assessment. 

To evaluate and prioritize these 

comments, the NRC used the LLW 

strategic objective that was developed 

for the 2007 strategic assessment. 

Specifically, in SECY–07–0180 the NRC 

used the NRC’s Strategic Plan to 

develop a strategic objective for the 

LLW regulatory program. To ensure the 

strategic objective was still current, the 

NRC reviewed the latest version of the 

NRC’s Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan: 

Fiscal Years 2014–2018 (NUREG–1614, 

Volume 6, which can be found at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/nuregs/staff/sr1614/v6/). 

The NRC concluded that the strategic 

objective developed in SECY–07–0180 

is still applicable. The strategic 

objective is: ‘‘The objective of the NRC’s 

LLW regulatory program is to provide 

for a stable, reliable, and adaptable 

regulatory framework for effective LLW 

management, while maintaining safety, 

security, and protection of the 

environment.’’ The NRC evaluated 

whether the need to complete each task 

was a short, medium, or long term 

priority. Also, the NRC considered 

potential costs and benefits along with 

consideration of the availability of 

disposal options. 

The NRC used the list of 20 items in 

SECY–07–0180, as a starting point and 

combined, deleted, or added items 

based on the current LLW landscape 

and on stakeholder comments received 

in 2014. 

Completed Tasks 

Task 5, ‘‘Review and update guidance 

on extended storage of LLW for 

materials and fuel cycle licensees and 

review industry guidance for reactors.’’ 

This item was completed by the NRC by 

issuing Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 

2008–12, ‘‘Considerations for Extended 

Interim Storage of Low-Level 

Radioactive Waste by Fuel Cycle and 

Materials Licensees,’’ (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML073330725) and RIS 

2011–09 ‘‘Available Resources 

Associated with Extended Storage of 

Low-Level Radioactive Waste,’’ 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML111520042). 

Task 13, ‘‘Identify new waste 

streams.’’ This item is considered 

completed because the proposed 

changes to 10 CFR part 61 (i.e., SiteSpecific Analysis Rulemaking) are broad 

enough to include potential new waste 

streams that may be developed in the 

future. 

Task 17, ‘‘Develop information notice 

on waste minimization.’’ This item is 

considered completed because in 2012 

the NRC issued its ‘‘Low-Level 

Radioactive Waste Management and 

Volume Reduction,’’ policy statement 

that addressed this issue and no further 

work is anticipated by the NRC. This 

policy statement is available on the 

federal rulemaking Web site at http://

www.regulations.gov under Docket ID 

NRC–2011–0183. 

The completed tasks were removed 

from the task list: 

Combined Tasks 

Similar tasks were grouped together, 

specifically under the topics related to 

the revision to 10 CFR part 61. Several 

tasks in the 2007 assessment were 

related to the proposed revision to 10 

CFR part 61 including, determining if 

disposal of large quantities of DU would 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 49 / Friday, March 13, 2015 / Notices 13453 

change the waste classification tables; 

developing guidance on alternate waste 

classification; and implementing major 

revisions to 10 CFR part 61. Based on 

the Commission’s direction, the NRC’s 

efforts related to revision to 10 CFR part 

61 has been limited to specifying a 

requirement for a site-specific analysis 

and associated technical requirements 

for unique waste streams including the 

disposal of significant quantities of DU. 

These tasks have been combined and 

separated into two tasks, ‘‘Complete and 

Implement Site-Specific Analysis 

Rulemaking,’’ and ‘‘Update the Waste 

Classification Tables.’’ Once the SiteSpecific Analysis Rulemaking is 

complete, in accordance with Revised 

Staff Requirements-SECY–13–0001, 

‘‘Staff Recommendations for Improving 

the Integration of the Ongoing 10 CFR 

part 61 Rulemaking Initiatives’’ 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13085A318), 

the NRC staff plans to communicate 

further with the Commission on the 

need for a second rulemaking for 

revising the waste classification tables. 

Deleted Tasks 

Several items included in the table in 

SECY–07–0180 were deleted from the 

table in this section. 

These items were: 

Task 1, ‘‘Evaluate potential changes to 

LLW regulatory program as a result of 

severe curtailment of disposal 

capacity.’’ This item was deleted 

because the anticipated curtailment of 

disposal capacity did not occur and is 

not expected to occur in the near term. 

Task 8, ‘‘Examine the desirability and 

benefits of legislative changes.’’ As with 

Task 1, this item was deleted because 

the anticipated curtailment of disposal 

capacity did not occur and is not 

expected to occur in the near term. 

Task 15, ‘‘Develop waste acceptance 

criteria for LLW disposal in uranium 

mill tailings impoundments.’’ The NRC 

anticipated that some LLW would need 

to be disposed in uranium mill tailing 

impoundments due to the diminishing 

capacity at LLW disposal sites. This 

item was deleted because the 

anticipated curtailment of disposal 

capacity did not occur and is not 

expected to occur in the near term. 

Added Task 

A new task has been added to the list, 

‘‘Update NUREG/BR–0204, Rev. 2 (July 

1998), ‘‘Instructions for Completing 

NRC’s Uniform Low-Level Radioactive 

Waste Manifest.’’ NUREG/BR–0204 

provides instructions for completing the 

NRC’s Forms 540/540A, 541/541A, and 

542/542A.’’ These forms are collectively 

known as the uniform manifest. 

Stakeholders and the NRC have 

identified items on the forms that 

should/need to be revised. For example, 

instructions for manifest reporting of the 

activities of hydrogen-3, carbon-14, 

technetium-99, and iodine-129, when 

their activities are below the lower limit 

of detection, will be clarified. 

Additionally, work on the 10 CFR part 

61 rulemaking also identified needed 

revisions to the forms. 

Table 1 reflects the NRC’s views on 

the tasks that should receive priority 

consideration moving forward.

waste disposal and develop licensing criteria for a GTCC disposal facility.

This task will include: Determining 

the regulatory authority for licensing a GTCC waste disposal facility and developing licensing criteria for GTCC disposal in facilities other than those of the deep 

geologic type. This could include 

the identification of necessary 

site and waste characteristics, as 

well as facility baseline design 

criteria. Whether this task is necessary depends upon whether 

the U.S. Department of Energy 

(DOE) chooses a non-geologic 

repository for GTCC disposal.

10. Coordinate with other agencies 

on consistency in regulating LAW 

and determine the impact of LAW 

disposal from radiological dispersal devices (RDD).

The NRC will coordinate with other 

government agencies to look at a 

broad range of issues associated 

with LAW. The study will consider the divergent stakeholder 

comments as part of this programmatic assessment, lessons 

learned from the revoked below 

regulatory concern policy statements of the NRC published in 

the Federal Register on July 3, 

1990 (55 FR 27522), and August 

29, 1986 (51 FR 30839), lessons 

learned from the Commission’s 

2005 disapproval of publication 

of a proposed rule (the ‘‘Clearance’’ rule) on radiological criteria for controlling the disposition of solid materials, learning 

from other countries with LAW 

disposal, and other factors to 

come up with a recommendation 

for resolving this issue. This will 

include work with other government agencies to evaluate the 

impact of large quantities of LAW 

that would result from cleanup 

after an RDD or similar devise is 

used in the U.S. and ensure 

LAW resulting from such devices 

has a disposal pathway. The 

NRC would develop a memorandum of understanding with 

other agencies.

Medium ........ Medium ........ Not applicable, no change in ranking. 

11. Promulgate rule for disposal of 

low-activity waste (LAW).

The NRC would promulgate a rule 

that would define the conditions 

under which LAW, including 

mixed waste, could be disposed 

of in Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act Subtitle C hazardous waste facilities. The NRC 

would exempt the materials authorized for disposal.

Medium ........ Low .............. The NRC anticipates a higher volume of LAW from reactor decommissioning and material waste. 

12. Develop procedures for Import/

Export Review.

The NRC would develop internal, 

and external guidance related to 

the review of applications for licenses to import or export radioactive waste. The internal procedure would include the process 

for vetting and resolving complex 

issues as well as a summary of 

issues previously resolved. The 

external guidance would include 

a description of the technical and 

regulatory analyses necessary to 

respond to the Office of International Programs in its processing of import/export license 

applications.

Low .............. High .............. The NRC does not anticipate a significant number of requests to 

export or import radioactive 

waste in the near future. Therefore, due to limited resources, 

this is being assigned a lower 

priority.

13. Examine the need for guidance 

on defining when radioactive material becomes LLW.

This task will include determining 

whether a need exists for the 

NRC to provide guidance to licensees on when radioactive 

material becomes LLW. Radioactive material that is LLW can 

be subject to measures, such as 

storage guidance and/or financial 

assurance provisions that differ 

from those for radioactive materials for which this is an intended 

use.

a regulation that would identify 

the data necessary to track the 

origin, management, and disposition of all LLW. Require the promulgation of a compatible State 

regulation by all Agreement 

States with licensees that 

produce LLW. By these regulations, require that licensees provide necessary information to 

regulatory authorities on a regular, prescribed basis.
