Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 77 / Friday, April 21, 1995 / Notices 19899

An eighth cost category that requires

prior approval is the pre-agreement or

pre-award cost category. The Assistant

Secretary has determined that prior

approval for this cost category is no

longer required to the extent that it does

not create interest liabilities for the

Federal Government under the Cash

Management Improvement Act (CMIA).

Interest liabilities are incurred under the

CMIA when a State disburses its own

funds for Federal program purposes

before the date that Federal funds are

deposited to the State’s bank account for

those obligations. Interest liabilities are

not incurred, however, when a State

uses its own funds to meet a program

matching or maintenance of effort

requirement. Thus, for programs subject

to the CMIA (see the implementing

Treasury Department regulations in 31

CFR part 205, Subpart A and check with

the appropriate CMIA contact person for

the State to determine coverage), the

Assistant Secretary is no longer

requiring prior approval for preagreement costs used to meet matching

or maintenance of effort requirements.

For programs in a State not subject to

CMIA interest liabilities, the Secretary is

no longer requiring prior approval for

any pre-agreement costs.

The Assistant Secretary rarely has

declined to approve requests for prior

approval for these cost categories. Also,

the Assistant Secretary does not believe

that grantees will use grant funds

inappropriately in these categories if

prior approval is no longer required,

and believes that grantees should be

relieved of this paperwork burden.

Under the authority of 34 CFR 74.27 and

80.30(b), the Assistant Secretary

therefore exempts the OSERS formula

grant programs covered by this notice

from the requirement for prior approval

for the eight cost categories as

previously described.

The Assistant Secretary also notes

that this policy change affects only the

requirement to obtain prior approval

from the Department of Education. If,

upon audit or otherwise, it is

determined that the claimed

expenditures do not meet other

requirements or tests for allowability

specified by the applicable cost

principles, such as reasonableness and

necessity, the costs may be disallowed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposed Action

DOE has prepared a draft EIS that

analyzes policy issues and potential

environmental impacts of a proposal to

adopt and implement a policy for

management of spent nuclear fuel from

foreign research reactors. More

specifically, the proposed action is

intended to reduce the risk of diversion

of highly enriched uranium for use in

nuclear weapons (by foreign nations,

subnational groups, or terrorist

organizations) by reducing the amount

of highly enriched uranium used in civil

programs worldwide. The proposed

action is one action among many being

pursued by the United States to reduce

the potential for the proliferation of

nuclear weapons. All of the spent

nuclear fuel under consideration

contains uranium enriched in the

United States, much of it highly

enriched uranium that could be used

directly to make simple nuclear

weapons.

This draft EIS evaluates the potential

environmental impacts that could result

from the proposed action, and from no

action. The proposed action could be

implemented through any one of the

three following Management

Alternatives considered in the draft EIS:

Management Alternative 1. Under this

alternative foreign research reactor

spent nuclear fuel would be accepted

and managed in the United States. The

implementation of Management

Alternative 1 would include the

following components:

1. The policy duration would be 10

years, beginning on the date that the

policy would take effect, and would

cover existing spent fuel and additional

spent fuel generated during the course

of the policy period. Actual shipments

of the spent nuclear fuel could be made

for a period of 13 years after the policy

would take effect.

2. The United States would bear the

full cost for transporting and managing

the foreign research reactor spent

nuclear fuel received from developing

nations but would charge developed

nations a competitive fee.

3. A fixed amount of foreign research

reactor spent nuclear fuel containing

uranium enriched in the United States

would be eligible to be accepted.

Approximately 22,700 individual spent

nuclear fuel elements would be

accepted, which represents the

estimated inventories of foreign research

reactor spent nuclear fuel currently

stored and that which would be

generated during the 10-year policy

period.

4. DOE would take title to the foreign

research reactor spent nuclear fuel at the

United States territorial waters limit, or

United States continental borders for

shipments from Canada.

5. Marine transport of the foreign

research reactor spent nuclear fuel

would be made by either chartered or

regularly scheduled commercial ships

from foreign ports to the United States.

6. Under the proposed action, receipt

of the foreign research reactor spent

nuclear fuel could occur through any of

the following 10 ports of entry:

• Charleston, South Carolina

• Galveston, Texas

• Jacksonville, Florida

• Hampton Roads, Virginia (includes

Newport News, Norfolk, and

Portsmouth terminals)

• Military Ocean Terminal at Sunny

Point, North Carolina

• Naval Weapons Station, Concord,

California

• Portland, Oregon

• Savannah, Georgia

• Tacoma, Washington

• Wilmington, North Carolina

Potential points of entry for Canadian

spent fuel include Alexandria Bay,

New York and Sweetgrass, Montana.

7. Ground transport of casks

containing foreign research reactor

spent nuclear fuel would be by either

truck or rail or both from ports of entry

or Canadian border crossings to

potential Department storage sites, and

for shipments between Department

storage sites.

8. Sites for the potential receipt and

management of foreign research reactor

spent nuclear fuel, along with existing

and foreseeable future inventories of

DOE spent fuel, will be decided in the

Record of Decision for the Programmatic

Spent Nuclear Fuel Management and

Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

Environmental Restoration and Waste

Management Programs Environmental

Impact Statement. The sites being

considered are the Savannah River Site,

the Idaho National Engineering

Laboratory, the Hanford Site, the Oak

Ridge Reservation, and the Nevada Test

Site. Since that decision has not been

made yet, this draft EIS contains an

analysis of potential impacts at all five

of the candidate sites.

9. Storage of the foreign research

reactor spent nuclear fuel would take

place in existing facilities that use either

wet or dry storage technologies and in

new dry storage facilities.

Seven implementation alternatives,

which are variations of the

implementation components of

Management Alternative 1, are also

considered. These are:

1. Alternative amounts of spent fuel that

might be accepted, including target

material;

2. Alternative periods of time over

which spent fuel might be accepted;

3. Alternative financing arrangements

for foreign research reactors to pay for

the services that might be provided by

the Department;

4. Alternative locations for the

Department to take title to the spent

fuel;

5. Construction of new wet storage

capacity, instead of new dry storage

capacity;
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 77 / Friday, April 21, 1995 / Notices 19901

6. Near-term chemical separation of the

spent fuel in the United States, as an

alternative to long-term storage; and

7. Development work possibly leading

to the construction and operation of a

new processing facility. The new

processing facility would be used to

change the physical form of the spent

fuel to make the uranium in it less of

a proliferation concern, and to

produce a waste form that is more

suitable for geologic disposal.

Management Alternative 2. This

alternative consists of action to facilitate

the management of foreign research

reactor spent nuclear fuel overseas.

Under this alternative there are two

subalternatives: one is to provide

assistance to foreign nations that are

able to store their spent nuclear fuel in

their own countries, and the second is

to provide assistance in reprocessing

their spent nuclear overseas under

conditions that would satisfy United

States nuclear weapons nonproliferation

concerns, and in facilities operated

under international safeguards.

Management Alternative 3. This

alternative is a hybrid alternative

formed from a combination of the

implementation alternatives of

Management Alternative 1, or a

combination of the implementation

components of Management

Alternatives 1 and 2. An example

hybrid alternative that is representative

of numerous hybrid alternatives that

could be chosen by the Department is

analyzed in the draft Environmental

Impact Statement. This example

consists of encouraging the reprocessing

of as much foreign research reactor

spent nuclear fuel as possible at

Western European reprocessing

facilities, and accepting the remainder

of the foreign research reactor spent

nuclear fuel to be managed in the

United States by conventional chemical

separation of the aluminum based spent

nuclear fuel in existing facilities at the

Savannah River Site and storage of the

remaining spent fuel in existing

facilities at the Idaho National

Engineering Laboratory.

No Action Alternative. In the No

Action Alternative, the United States

would neither accept foreign research

reactor spent nuclear fuel nor provide

technical assistance or financial

incentives for overseas management. If

no action were taken to adopt a policy

to manage foreign research reactor spent

nuclear fuel, no environmental impacts

would occur in the United States.

However, failure to accept spent nuclear

fuel would increase the amount of

highly enriched uranium available in

civilian commerce and possibly

encourage the proliferation of nuclear

weapons.

Decision Process

The Department will select a

preferred alternative for management of

foreign research reactor spent nuclear

fuel and will identify and discuss that

alternative, along with other reasonable

alternatives, in the final EIS. The

Department will apply a formal decision

process in reaching a preferred

alternative. This formal process will

include application of various criteria to

discriminate among the alternatives.

Public comments on the draft EIS will

be considered during development of

these criteria. The Department will

consider the results of the decision

process leading to selection of the

preferred alternative, and any comments

received on the final EIS, in

development of the Record of Decision.

The final EIS is scheduled to be released

in September 1995.

Public Hearings

Public hearings will be held to receive

comments on the draft EIS; to provide

information to the public concerning the

content of the EIS; to receive comments

on necessary or desirable attributes of

foreign research reactor spent fuel

management to use in discriminating

among alternatives; and to respond to

public questions on the analyses or the

EIS process. Individuals wishing to

participate in the hearings are

encouraged to register in advance by

contacting the telephone number listed

above under ‘‘Hearing schedule and

location’’. Individuals wishing to

participate in the hearings are

encouraged to provide DOE with written

copies of their comments.

Conduct of Hearings

An independent facilitator will open

the hearings by explaining the format to

be followed. The hearings will be

conducted in a manner that is intended

to foster a cordial, open and mutually

beneficial dialog between the

participants and the DOE

representatives. In the interests of

achieving that, the DOE personnel

conducting the hearings may ask

clarifying questions regarding

statements made at the hearings, will (to

the best of their abilities) answer

questions asked by hearing participants,

and may comment on statements made

by hearing participants. Summaries of

the discussions conducted during the

hearings will be prepared and made

available at the DOE Reading Rooms

listed below.

Availability of Copies of the Draft EIS

The draft EIS is being distributed to

interested Federal, State, Indian Tribal,

and local government agencies, and

individuals throughout the country, and
