Background

    On October 9, 2004, the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (NDAA) was passed by Congress 
and was signed by the President on October 28, 2004. Section 3116 of 
the NDAA allows the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to determine that 
certain waste stemming from reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel is not 
high-level-waste (HLW). However, the NDAA is applicable only in the 
States of South Carolina and Idaho and does not apply to waste 
transported out of these States. The NDAA requires that: (1) DOE 
consult with NRC on all of its waste determinations in South Carolina 
and Idaho, and (2) NRC, in coordination with the State, monitor 
disposal actions taken by DOE for the purpose of assessing compliance 
with NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 61, subpart C. If the NRC 
determines that any disposal actions taken by DOE are not in 
compliance, the NDAA requires NRC to inform DOE, the affected State, 
and congressional subcommittees. In addition to NDAA activities 
conducted at the Savannah River Site (SRS) and Idaho National 
Laboratory (INL), DOE may make similar waste determinations at its 
Hanford site and at the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) and 
may request NRC to provide technical reviews of those determinations. 
The staff has described its plans for implementing its activities under 
the NDAA in SECY-05-0073 and the Commission approved the plans in the 
corresponding Staff Requirements Memorandum dated June 30, 2005.
    The NRC staff is developing a waste determination Standard Review 
Plan (SRP) to provide guidance to staff on reviewing waste 
determination information and analyses. This meeting is an opportunity 
for interested parties to submit comments on the scope of the SRP. The 
draft SRP will also be published for public comment and the comments 
received will be considered by the staff during development of the 
final SRP.
