NOTE TO EDITORS:

-l Attached 1s a Nuclear Regulatory Commission Policy Statement on Radioactive Waste Below Regulatory Concern. The policy statement and an associated staff implementation plan describe the kind of information petitioners should-file to allow timely Comission review of petitions for-rulemaking to exempt specific radioactive waste streams from disposal in a licensed low-level waste disposal facility.

For the NRC to grant these rulemaking petitions, the waste streams must be sufficiently low in y

l concentration or quantities of radionuclides for the Commission to find that 4

Lt they may be disposed of by alternative means without posing an undue risk to public health and safety.

.3 o

t The policy statement and implementation plan constitute regulatory '

guidance for implementing existing requirements'for rulemaking petitions under l-

[

.the Commission's regulations.
