DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Final Environmental Impact Statement

for Programmatic Spent Nuclear Fuel

Management and Idaho National

Engineering Laboratory Environmental

Restoration and Waste Management

Programs

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy

(DOE) is giving notice of the availability

of the final environmental impact

statement (EIS) for Programmatic Spent

Nuclear Fuel Management and Idaho

National Engineering Laboratory (INEL)

Environmental Restoration and Waste

Management Programs (DOE/EIS–0203).

The final EIS was prepared in

accordance with the requirements of the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969 (NEPA); Council on Environmental

Quality regulations implementing

NEPA, 40 CFR Parts 1500–1508; and

DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures,

10 CFR Part 1021. The final EIS

addresses Department-wide spent

nuclear fuel (SNF) management

strategies for the transportation, receipt,

storage, and processing of these fuels. In

addition, the final EIS addresses

proposed environmental restoration and

waste management activities at the

INEL. The Department of the Navy was

a cooperating agency in preparing this

EIS.

Upon completion of general

distribution of the document, DOE will

file the final EIS with the Environmental

Protection Agency, which will then

publish a Notice of Availability in the

Federal Register. The final EIS will also

be available to the public in DOE

reading rooms and designated

information locations which are

identified in this notice. DOE plans to

issue a Record of Decision on the final

EIS by June 1, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the

final EIS and for further information on

the final EIS should be directed to: U.S.

Department of Energy, Idaho Operations

Office, Office of Communications,

Attention: Brad Bugger, 850 Energy

Drive, MS 1214, Idaho Falls, ID 83402.

Mr. Bugger can be reached by telephone

at: 208–526–0833. Addresses of DOE

Public Reading Rooms, Navy

Information Locations, and other

locations where the final EIS will be

available for public review are listed

below under ‘‘Supplementary

Information.’’

General information on the DOE

NEPA process may be obtained from

Ms. Carol Borgstrom, Director, Office of

NEPA Policy and Assistance (EH–42),

U.S. Department of Energy, 1000

Independence Avenue, SW,

Washington, DC 20585. Ms. Borgstrom

may be reached by telephone at: (202)

586–4600 or by leaving a message at

(800) 472–2756.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

DOE issued a draft EIS for public

comment and published a Notice of

Availability in the Federal Register on

June 24, 1994 (59 FR 32688). Thereafter,

DOE held 33 public hearings in 20 cities

across the nation in order to obtain

public comments on the draft EIS. In

addition, public comments were

received by mail, a toll-free telephone

line, and facsimile. More than 1,430

commentors, including a broad

spectrum of private citizens, businesses,

local, state and federal officials, Native

American Tribes, and public interest

groups, commented on the draft EIS.

Comments are summarized in Volume 3

of the final EIS. DOE and Navy

responses to those comments are also

provided in Volume 3, as well as

discussions of which comments resulted

in changes to the EIS.

Public comments on the draft EIS

were assessed and considered both

individually and collectively by DOE

and the Navy. Some comments resulted

in modifications to the EIS. For other

comments, DOE explained why a

change to the EIS was not warranted.

Most responses to such comments

communicated government policy,

indicated that the comment was beyond

the scope of the EIS, explained the

relationship of this EIS to other related

NEPA documents, referred commentors

to information in the EIS, answered

technical questions, or further explained

technical issues.

The final EIS, like the draft EIS,

addresses the potential environmental

impacts associated with alternatives for

managing DOE spent nuclear fuel on a

national level (Volume 1). The final EIS

also addresses potential environmental

impacts related to the management of

solid, radioactive, mixed and hazardous

wastes, spent nuclear fuel, and

environmental restoration activities at

the INEL (Volume 2). DOE conducted
