annual responses: 9.
7. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 3.
8. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to complete the
requirement or request: 363 (An average

10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 63 requires
the State of Nevada, local governments,
or affected Indian Tribes to submit
certain information to the NRC if they
request consultation with the NRC staff
concerning the review of the potential
repository site, or wish to participate in
a license application review for the
potential repository. Representatives of
the State of Nevada, local governments,
or affected Indian Tribes must submit a
statement of their authority to act in
such a representative capacity. The
information submitted by the State,
local governments, and affected Indian
Tribes is used by the Director of the
Office of Nuclear Material Safety and

NRC Staff Guidance for Activities
Related to U.S. Department of Energy

Final Report for Interim Use.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing draft final
NRC staff guidance for activities related
to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
waste determinations (NUREG–1854),
for interim use. NUREG–1854 provides
guidance to the NRC staff in evaluating
non-high-level waste determinations
developed by DOE for the Savannah
River Site, Idaho National Laboratory,
Hanford, and West Valley for certain
wastes that are a result of the

reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel.
NUREG–1854 provides elements the
NRC staff should review to fulfill its
responsibilities under the Ronald
Reagan Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2005 (NDAA), which is to
consult with DOE on its waste
determinations and to monitor DOE
disposal actions to assess compliance
with the performance objectives in 10
CFR part 61, subpart C. NUREG–1854
does not set forth regulatory
requirements for NRC or for DOE, and
compliance with NUREG–1854 is not
required.
ADDRESSES: NUREG–1854 is available
for inspection and copying for a fee at
the Commission’s Public Document

Building, 11555 Rockville Pike (first

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In October
2004, the Ronald W. Reagan National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2005 (NDAA) was enacted. Section
3116 of the NDAA gave the NRC new
responsibilities with respect to DOE
waste management activities for certain
‘‘incidental’’ waste resulting from the
reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel
within the States of South Carolina and
Idaho. These responsibilities include
consultation with DOE on DOE’s
determination whether the waste is not
high-level waste (HLW), as well as
monitoring DOE’s disposal actions for
these wastes. The concept behind
incidental waste is that some material,
resulting from the reprocessing of spent
nuclear fuel, does not need to be
disposed of as HLW in a geologic
repository because the residual
radioactive contamination, if properly
controlled, is sufficiently low that it
does not represent a hazard to public
health and safety. Consequently,
incidental waste is not considered to be
HLW, but instead is low-level waste.
DOE uses technical analyses that are
documented in a waste determination to
evaluate whether waste is incidental or
HLW. A waste determination provides
DOE’s analysis as to whether the waste
