SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) and the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) have finalized a 

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 

to define the cooperative working 

relationship between the agencies in 

each agency’s preparation of National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

documents related to the extraction of 

uranium and thorium on public lands 

administered by BLM. The MOU was 

finalized on November 30, 2009. The 

MOU will improve the interagency 

communications, facilitate the sharing 

of special expertise and information, 

and coordinate the preparation of 

studies, reports and environmental 

(NEPA) documents. 

II. Summary 

The MOU provides a framework for 

this cooperative relationship and 

identifies the responsibilities of each 

agency. The intent of the MOU is to 

improve interagency communications, 

facilitate the sharing of special expertise 

and information, and coordinate the 

preparation of studies, reports and 

environmental (NEPA) documents 

associated with NRC licensing actions 

and the BLM administration of public 

lands. The implementation of the MOU 

will occur through periodic meetings 

between the NRC and BLM management 

to ensure coordination, establishing 

points of contact at each agency, 

identifying information gaps that can be 

filled by each agency, and ensuring that 

specific environmental resources issues 

of interest to each agency are covered in 

each environmental review. To the 

fullest extent possible, NRC and BLM 

will participate either as lead agency, 

co-lead or cooperating agency on the 

preparation of site-specific 

environmental documents.
