IV. Requested Information and
Comments
This section provides specific
questions associated with the draft
regulatory analysis (ADAMS Accession
No. ML16189A050). These questions
will also be discussed at the public
meeting. The NRC staff will consider the
responses to these questions as it revises
the regulatory analysis.
Question 1: Is the NRC considering
appropriate alternatives for the
regulatory action described in the draft
regulatory analysis?
Question 2: Are there additional
factors that the NRC should consider in
the regulatory action? What are these
factors?
Question 3: Is there additional
information concerning regulatory
impacts that the NRC should include in
its regulatory analysis for this
rulemaking?
Question 4: Are all costs and benefits
properly addressed to determine the
economic impact of the rulemaking
alternatives? What cost differences
would be expected from moving from
the discussed 1,000 year and 10,000
year compliance periods to a single
1,000 year compliance period? Are there
any unintended consequences of
making this revision?
Question 5: Are there any costs that
should be assigned to those sites not
planning to accept large quantities of
depleted uranium for disposal in the
future?
Question 6: Is NRC’s assumption that
only two existing LLRW sites (i.e.,
EnergySolutions’ Clive Utah disposal
facility and Waste Control Specialists’
Texas disposal facility) plan to accept
large quantities of depleted uranium for
disposal in the future reasonable?
Question 7: What additional costs or
cost savings, not already considered in
the draft regulatory analysis, will the
supplemental proposed rulemaking or
alternatives cause to society, industry,
and government? What are the potential
transfer (‘‘pass-through’’) costs to the
waste generators and processors?
