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 30 days on, the proposed approval of the radioactive, transuranic (TRU) waste characterization program implemented by the Central Characterization Project (CCP) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). 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 LANL–CCP’s characterization of contact-handled TRU debris and solid waste during an inspection conducted May 23–25, 2006, as well as during follow-up inspections on August 22, 2006, and March 6, 2007. Using the systems and processes developed as part of the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO), EPA PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 verified whether DOE could adequately characterize TRU waste consistent with the Compliance Criteria. The results of EPA’s evaluation of the LANL–CCP 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 the 40 CFR 194.8, at the end of a 30-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, LANL–CCP is currently approved to dispose of debris and solid waste at WIPP. LANL– CCP is permitted to continue waste characterization and disposal in accordance with prior site approvals while EPA establishes a baseline approval. Comments must be received on or before May 18, 2007.
