Department of Energy October 6, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is issuing this Amended Record of Decision (AROD) to amend its Record of Decision (ROD) for the long-term management and storage of elemental mercury published in the Federal Register on December 6, 2019. This AROD withdraws the designation of Waste Control Specialists (WCS) pursuant to the Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008 (MEBA) as the DOE facility for long-term management and storage of elemental mercury. DOE has, however, decided to store at WCS certain elemental mercury to which DOE accepts the conveyance of title pursuant to a legal settlement or proceeding.
