UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 26, 2018 Mary Hopkins, State Preservation Officer Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office 2301 Central Avenue Barrett Building, Third Floor Cheyenne, WY 82002
SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF A PROPOSED AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE OF WYOMING
Dear Ms. Hopkins:
Governor Matthew Mead, on behalf of the State of Wyoming, has submitted a request that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) enter into an Agreement with the State under Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA). Under the proposed Agreement, the Commission would discontinue, and the State of Wyoming would assume, regulatory authority within the State over the management and disposal of byproduct materials as defined in Section 11e.(2) of the AEA and a subcategory of source material associated with uranium or thorium milling. These regulatory responsibilities would be transferred to the State of Wyoming and the State of Wyomings environmental and historic and cultural resource requirements would apply instead of the National Environmental Policy and National Historic Preservation Act requirements. The NRC would continue to retain regulatory authority over other AEA radioactive materials in the State.
Enclosed for your information is the Federal Register Notice (FRN) published on June 26, 2018.
The FRN requests public comment on the proposed Wyoming Agreement and the NRC staff draft assessment of the State of Wyomings formal application. The comment period ends July 26, 2018.
The enclosed FRN provides the process to submit comments. If you have any questions, you may contact Paul Michalak at (301) 415-5804 (Paul.Michalak@nrc.gov).
Sincerely,
/RA/
Andrea L. Kock, Acting Director Division of Materials Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs Office of Nuclear Material, Safety, and Safeguards
