ACTION: Notice of availability; opening of public comment period. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’ or ‘‘we’’) is announcing the availability of, and soliciting public comments for 45 days on, the proposed approval of the radioactive, transuranic (‘‘TRU’’) waste characterization program implemented by the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (‘‘AMWTP’’) at Idaho National Laboratory (‘‘INL’’). This waste is intended for disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (‘‘WIPP’’) in New Mexico. In accordance with the WIPP Compliance Criteria, EPA evaluated the AMWTP/INL’s characterization of TRU debris and solid waste from AMWTP/INL during an inspection conducted March 27–March 31, 2006. Using the systems and processes developed as part of the Department of Energy’s (‘‘DOE’s’’) Carlsbad Field Office (‘‘CBFO’’), EPA verified whether DOE could adequately characterize TRU waste consistent with the Compliance Criteria. The results of EPA’s evaluation of the AMWTP/INL program and the proposed approval are described in EPA’s inspection report, which is available for review in the public dockets listed in ADDRESSES. We will consider public comments received on or before the due date mentioned in DATES. This notice summarizes the waste characterization processes evaluated by EPA and EPA’s proposed approval. As required by 40 CFR 194.8, at the end of a 45-day comment period, EPA will evaluate public comments received, finalize the report responding to the relevant public comments, and issue the final report and an approval letter to DOE’s CBFO. Based on previous EPA inspections and approvals, AMWTP/ INL is currently approved to dispose of debris and solid waste at WIPP. AMWTP/INL is permitted to continue waste characterization and disposal in accordance with prior site approvals E:\FR\FM\31JYN1.SGM 31JYN1
