AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Mercury 

Export Ban Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110– 

414), hereafter referred to as the Act, the 

Department of Energy (DOE or the 

Department) plans to designate a facility 

or facilities for the long-term

mercury generated within the United 

States. To this end, the Department 

intends to prepare an environmental 

impact statement (EIS) in accordance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) of 1969 regulations of the 

President’s Council on Environmental 

Quality (40 CFR parts 1500–1508) and 

DOE’s implementing procedures (10 

CFR part 1021). This EIS will evaluate 

alternatives for such a facility or 

facilities in order to have the requisite 

capability operational by January 1, 

2013, as stipulated in the Act. The 

United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is a cooperating agency 

for this EIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008 

(Pub. L. 110–414) prohibits, as of 

January 1, 2013, the sale, distribution, or 

transfer of elemental mercury by Federal 

agencies to any other Federal agency, 

any State or local government agency, or 

any private individual or entity that is 

under the control of a Federal agency 

(with certain limited exceptions). It also 

prohibits the export of elemental 

mercury from the United States effective 

January 1, 2013 (subject to certain 

essential use exceptions). Section 5 of 

the Act, Long-Term Storage, directs DOE 

to designate a facility or facilities for the 

long-term management and storage of 

elemental mercury generated within the 

United States. DOE’s facility or facilities 

must be operational by January 1, 2013, 

and ready to accept custody of 

elemental mercury delivered to such a 

facility. The Act also requires DOE to 

assess fees based upon the pro rata costs 

of long-term management and storage. 

Inventory: There are several sources of 

elemental mercury in the United States, 

including mercury used in the chlorine 

and caustic soda manufacturing process 

(i.e., chlor-alkali industry), reclaimed 

from recycling and waste recovery 

activities, and generated as a byproduct 

of the gold mining process. In addition, 

DOE stores approximately 1,200 metric 

tons of elemental mercury at the Y–12 

National Security Complex in Oak 

Ridge, Tennessee. The Department of 

Defense (DOD) stores approximately
