Notice of revised proposed policy and request for comments. AGENCY: ebenthall on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES ACTION: SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is publishing this notice of revised proposed policy to set forth its revised plans for implementing Section 180(c) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA), as amended. This notice updates the revised proposed policy that DOE published on July 23, 2007 (72 FR 40139) by providing the funding allocation approach for grants to federally recognized Tribes which may be eligible for assistance under Section 180(c) and also includes minor changes for clarification to the policy as it applies to both States and Tribes. Under Section 180(c) of the NWPA, DOE shall provide technical and financial assistance for training of local public safety officials to States and Tribes through whose jurisdictions the DOE plans to transport spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste to a facility authorized under Subtitle A or C of the NWPA (NWPA-authorized facility). The training is to cover both safe routine transportation and emergency response procedures. The purpose of this notice is to VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:31 Oct 30, 2008 Jkt 217001 communicate information to stakeholders about Section 180(c) issues and request comments on this revised proposed policy and the questions specified herein. Written and electronic comments may be submitted to DOE on this document. DATES: Comments must be received by DOE on or before January 31, 2009. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be directed to Mr. Frank Moussa, U.S. Department of Energy, c/o Patricia Temple, Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC, 955 N. L’Enfant Plaza, SW., Suite 8000, Washington, DC 20024. The revised proposed policy and electronic comment forms are also available at https://www.ocrwm.doe.gov. Fill out the form and click ‘‘submit’’ to send your comments in through the Web site. Persons submitting comments should include their name and address. Receipt of written comments in response to this notice will be acknowledged if a stamped, self-addressed postal card or envelope is enclosed. Electronic comments will receive an electronic notice of receipt. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information on the transportation of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste under the NWPA, please contact: Mr. Frank Moussa, Office of Logistics Management, Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (RW– 10), U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC, 20585, Telephone: 202–586–2837. General program information is available on the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) Web site located at https:// www.ocrwm.doe.gov. Copies of comments received will be posted on the OCRWM Web site. Please allow up to two weeks after DOE receives comments to view them on the Web site. Request for Comments: DOE will consider all comments submitted by the closing date. Comments received after that date will be considered to the extent practicable. DOE requests that commenters pay particular attention to the questions at the end of this revised proposed policy. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Purpose and Need for Agency Action Under the NWPA, DOE is responsible for the transportation of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste to a NWPA-authorized facility. In particular, under Section 180(c) of the NWPA, DOE is responsible for providing technical and financial PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 64933 assistance for training of local public safety officials to States and Tribes through whose jurisdiction the Secretary plans to transport spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste to a NWPA-authorized facility. Section 180(c) further provides that such training cover procedures required for both safe routine transportation of these materials and for dealing with emergency response situations. Section 180(c) identifies the Nuclear Waste Fund as the source of funds for this assistance. Subject to the availability of appropriated funds, DOE plans to conduct a pilot program for 180(c) grants. DOE will evaluate public comments received on the July 23, 2007, notice of revised proposed policy (the 2007 notice) and this notice prior to implementing the pilot program. After reviewing the comments received on the notices of revised proposed policy and completion of the pilot program, DOE plans to issue a new revised proposed policy for public comment and thereafter to issue a final policy prior to awarding the first 180(c) grants. The first grants are planned to be issued approximately four years prior to the commencement of shipments through a State or Tribe’s jurisdiction to support assessing the need for and planning for training. The Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, Strategic Plan for the Safe Transportation of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste to Yucca Mountain: A Guide to Stakeholder Interactions calls for DOE to work closely with State Regional Groups and individual impacted States and Tribes as it makes operational decisions regarding shipments to a NWPA-authorized facility. DOE’s practice of involving States, Tribes, industry, utilities, and other interested parties in transportation planning has contributed to a decadeslong record of safely transporting such material. This revised proposed policy supports DOE’s objective to develop and begin implementation of a comprehensive national spent fuel transportation plan that accommodates State, local, and Tribal concerns and input to the greatest extent practicable. II. Background On January 3, 1995, DOE issued a proposed policy on how it would implement Section 180(c) of the NWPA (60 FR 99). DOE subsequently issued several notices relating to its proposed 180(c) policy in the Federal Register on July 18, 1995 (60 FR 36793), May 16, 1996 (61 FR 24772), July 17, 1997 (62 FR 38272), and April 30, 1998 (63 FR E:\FR\FM\31OCN1.SGM 31OCN1
