Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 197 / Friday, October 10, 2014 / Proposed Rules 61271 

information will be made available in 

the Agency’s public dockets and posted 

on EPA’s WIPP Web site. The EPA is 

currently considering how anticipated 

changes in the facility design will 

impact the recertification process. 

With today’s notice, the Agency 

solicits public comment on the DOE’s 

documentation of whether the WIPP 

facility continues to comply with the 

disposal regulations. A copy of the 

application is available for inspection 

on the EPA’s WIPP Web site (http://

www.epa.gov/radiation/wipp/

2014application.html) and in the public 

dockets described in the ADDRESSES

section. Other background information 

related to the Agency’s recertification 

activities are also available in our public 

dockets and on our WIPP Web site. The 

EPA will evaluate the complete 

application in determining whether the 

WIPP continues to comply with the 

radiation protection standards for 

disposal. In addition, the EPA will 

consider public comment and other 

information relevant to the WIPP’s 

compliance. The Agency is most 

interested in public comment on issues 

where changes have occurred that may 

potentially impact the WIPP’s ability to 

remain in compliance with the 

requirements in the EPA’s disposal 

regulations, as well as any areas where 

the public believes that changes have 

occurred and have not been identified 

by the DOE. Additionally the Agency 

expects to provide public meetings in 

New Mexico during the review process 

to encourage and facilitate participation 

by interested stakeholders. 

The first step in the recertification 

process is a ‘‘completeness’’ 

determination. The EPA will make this 

completeness determination as a first 

step in its more extensive technical 

review of the application. This 

determination is based on a number of 

the Agency’s WIPP-specific guidances, 

most notably, the ‘‘Compliance 

Application Guidance’’ (CAG; EPA Pub. 

402–R–95–014) and ‘‘Guidance to the 

U.S. Department of Energy on 

Preparation for Recertification of the 

Waste Isolation Pilot Plant with 40 CFR 

Parts 191 and 194’’ (Docket A–98–49, 

Item II–B3–14; December 12, 2000). 

Both guidance documents include 

guidelines regarding: (1) Content of 

certification/recertification applications; 

(2) documentation and format 

requirements; (3) time frame and 

evaluation process; and (4) change 

reporting and modification. The Agency 

developed these guidance documents to 

assist the DOE with the preparation of 

any compliance application for the 

WIPP. It is the Agency’s intent that 

these guidance documents give the DOE 

and the public a general understanding 

of the information that is expected to be 

included in a complete application of 

compliance. However, the DOE does not 

have to resubmit information already 

supplied to the EPA in prior 

recertification applications. Thus, the 

focus of each recertification is on any 

changes to the disposal system since the 

previous recertification decision (in this 

case, 2009–2010). The EPA may request 

additional information as necessary 

from the Department to ensure the 

completeness of the CRA. 

Once the 2014 recertification 

application is deemed complete, the 

EPA will provide the DOE with written 

notification of its completeness 

determination and publish a Federal 

Register notice announcing this 

determination. All correspondence 

between the EPA and the DOE regarding 

the completeness of the CRA–2014, as 

well as any additional supplemental 

information submitted by the 

Department, will be posted on our Web 

site and placed in the public dockets. 

The EPA will make a final decision as 

to whether the WIPP continues to meet 

the disposal regulations after each of the 

aforementioned steps (technical analysis 

of the application, issuance of a notice 

on the CRA–2014’s completeness in the 

Federal Register, and analyses of public 

comment) have been completed. As 

required by the WIPP LWA, the Agency 

will make a final recertification decision 

within six months of issuing its 

completeness determination.
