SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC published the proposed Waste Confidence Rule in the Federal Register on September 13, 2013 (78 FR 56776). On the same day, the NRC and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued notices of availability for the DGEIS (78 FR 56621; 78 FR 56695). Prior to the lapse in appropriations in October 2013, the NRC staff held two Waste Confidence public meetings (one in Rockville, Maryland, on October 1, and one in Denver, Colorado, on October 3). The NRC postponed five meetings (in San Luis Obispo and Carlsbad, California; Perrysburg, Ohio; Minnetonka, Minnesota; and Oak Brook, Illinois) as a result of lapsed appropriations. The NRC has rescheduled the meeting in Oak Brook, Illinois, on November 12. The NRC will publish notices for rescheduled meetings in Perrysburg, Ohio, and Minnetonka, Minnesota, as soon as practicable. Five additional Waste Confidence public meetings remain scheduled as publicized in 78 FR 54789: Chelmsford, Massachusetts, on October 28; Tarrytown, New York, on October 30; Charlotte, North Carolina, on VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:26 Oct 28, 2013 Jkt 232001 November 4; Orlando, Florida, on November 6; and Rockville, Maryland, on November 14. The November 18 public meeting will take place at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa, 5480 Grand Pacific Drive, Carlsbad, California. The November 20 public meeting will take place at the Courtyard by Marriott San Luis Obispo, 1605 Calle Joaquin Road, San Luis Obispo, California. Each meeting will start at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time and will continue until 10:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Additionally, the NRC staff will host informal discussions during an open house one hour prior to the start of each meeting. The open houses will start at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. The NRC staff will accept comments from the public during the commentperiod portion of the meetings. The public meetings will be transcribed and will include: (1) A presentation on the contents of the DGEIS and proposed Waste Confidence rule; and (2) the opportunity for government agencies, organizations, and individuals to provide comments on the DGEIS and proposed rule. No oral comments on the DGEIS or proposed Waste Confidence rule will be accepted during the premeeting, open-house sessions. To be considered, oral comments must be presented during the transcribed portions of the public meetings. The NRC staff will also accept written comments at any time during the public meetings. Persons interested in presenting oral comments at the November 18 or 20 public meetings are encouraged to preregister. Persons may pre-register to present oral comments at either meeting by calling 301–287–9392 or by emailing WCRegistration@nrc.gov no later than 3 days prior to the meeting. Members of the public may also register in-person to provide oral comments at each meeting. Individual oral comments may be limited by the time available, depending on the number of persons who register. If special equipment or accommodations are needed to attend or to present information at either public meeting, then the need should be brought to the NRC’s attention no later than 10 days prior to the meeting to provide the NRC staff adequate notice to determine whether the request can be accommodated.

It also identified destinations with respect to which most assistance would be generally authorized. Remaining destinations would require a specific authorization by the Secretary of Energy. After careful consideration of all comments received, DOE published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR) on August 2, 2013, to respond to those comments, propose new or revised rule changes, and afford interested parties an opportunity to comment. A public meeting on the SNOPR was held at DOE’s headquarters on August 5, 2013.
