This subpart uses the following special definitions:

Agreement State means a state that has entered into an agreement with the NRC under subsection274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (68 Stat. 919), to assume responsibility for regulating within its borders byproduct, source, or special nuclear material in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass.

Certified delivery means certified mail with return receipt requested, or equivalent courier service, or other means, that provides the sender with a receipt confirming delivery.

Low-Level Mixed Waste (LLMW) is a waste that contains both low-level radioactive waste and RCRA hazardous waste.

Low-Level Radioactive Waste (LLW) is a radioactive waste which contains source, special nuclear, or byproduct material, and which is not classified as high-level radioactive waste, transuranic waste, spent nuclear fuel, or byproduct material as defined in section11e. (2) of the Atomic Energy Act. (See also NRC definition of "waste" at 10 CFR 61.2)

Naturally Occurring and/or Accelerator-produced Radioactive Material (NARM) means radioactive materials that: (1) Are naturally occurring and are not source, special nuclear, or byproduct materials (as defined by the AEA) or (2) Are produced by an accelerator. NARM is regulated by the States under State law, or by DOE (as authorized by the AEA) under DOE orders.

NRC means the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

We or us within this subpart, means the Director of the Division of Waste Management

You means a generator of low-level mixed waste or eligible NARM.
