  • MEMORANDUM FOR: James L. Blaha 89001e 27 Assistant for Operations Office of the Executive Director for Operations FROM:

Robert M. Bernero, Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards

SUBJECT:

PRELIMINARY NRC STAFF COMMENTS ON DOE WORK RELATED TO EPA HLW STANDARDS Enclosed are preliminary Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff comments recently transmitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) giving the NRC staff's views on several items of technical work being performed by the U.S.

l Department of Energy (D0E) to support EPA's high-level waste (HLW) standards.

These preliminary comments are consistent with previous NRC.taff comments on i

Working Drafts 2 and 3 of EPA's standards. Because the C00missioners have frequently voiced interest in our interactions with EPA, they may wish to receive copies of these preliminary comments.

Please distribute as appropriate. Copies of DOE's " working paper" reports are not included, but can be obtained from Dan Fehringer, 504-1426.

EPA's schedule for reissuing its standards continues to slip.

EPA now expects to have the technical support for its standards available for NRC staff review in late July, and to submit its standards for Office of Management and Budget approval in October. The NRC staff still plans to review EPA's technical support documents within about 30 days of receipt.

The staff will then inform the Ccmmission of its views regarding the adequacy of EPA's standards and the supporting documentation.
