Dear Mr. MacRae:

For some time nowIthe staffs of tho' Office of Management and p

-Budget (OMB), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and L

the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been

' discussing. EPA's draft standards for disposal of low-level L~

radioactive waste (LLW) (40 CFR Part 193) and' discrete-

[

naturally occurring and' accelerator-produced radioactive materials (NARM) waste (40 CFR Part 764 of Part 193 deal with radiation exposure)s from LLWSubparts A and-B management and disposal and Subpart c d&als~with-groundwater protection.

EPA'is proposing to issue these standards under-

?

its Atomic Energy Act authority to set generally applicable standards for radioactive materials in the environment and L

under its Toxic Substances Control Act authority for disposal of NARM-waste.

V I

In, December 1982, the NRC issued regulations for licensing c

of LLW disposal' facilities (10 CFR Part 61), in respon'se to the Low Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act of 1980.

These existing regulations currently provide a comprehensive framework for the development and regulation of commercial low level waste disposal facilities.

Indeed; using EPA's own. estimates, not more than 2 to-8 health effects:could be expected ~over a 10,000-year period'as a consequence of LLW' disposal 1in accordance with 10 CFR Part 61.

Despite this low level of risk,-Subpart C of the proposed EPA standards would impose further regulatory requirements, including an additional 1init on doses to individuals at the site boundary through the' groundwater pathway only.

This proposed limit would place further constraints on environmental release of radionuclides below the 10 CTR Part 61 limit of a 25 mrem /yr dose to the whole body from all environmental pathways with no concomitant reduction in anticipated health effects.

,s In the Commission's view, EPA's proposed regulation is duplicative of the NRC's existing regulations, wholly unnecessary to protect public health and safety, and potentially extremely disruptive-to the' site selection and development process the States are conducting under rigorous schedules set by the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy

' Amendments.Act (LLRWPAA) of 1985.

On November: 17, 1988, Dr. Malcoln Knapp,~ Director of NRC's Division of Low-Level Waste Management and Decommissioning (LLWM) wrote to-Ms. Nelle' Miller of OMB, documenting NRC's concerns with the draft stahdards.

Between November 1988 and April 1989,,the staffs of NRC and EPA met several times to attempt to resolve-these fundamental concerns.- on April:

4, 1989, Mr. John Greaves, Acting Director of NRC's Division of LLWM, and on April 25, 1989, Mr. Richard Guimond, Director of EPA's Office of Radiation Programs, wrote to Dr.

Arthur Fraas of OMB to inform him that the two agencies had reached an-impasse.

EPA and NRC staff met again on November 9, 1989, to discuss the unresolved-issues.

Despite this additional meeting, the NRC's major concerns with the draft LLW standard are unresolved.

NRC's principal and overriding concern is that'

' EPA's proposed 'IJJi standards-are not necessary to protect public health-and safety and are duplicative of NRC's requirements for licensing of land disposal of~ commercial LLW.

Moreover, because of the approach the EPA is proposing, promulgation of these standard at this late date in the process will be extremely _ disruptive to the development of new LLW disposal sites by States and Compact groups under the'LLRWPAA of 1985.

I particularly wish to note that in 1984, during hearings-before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Rocky Mountain LLW compact, EPA testified that development of their standard would'not be disruptive to the siting and development of new LLW sites, and that Part 61 was adequate for selecting new sites and would require no change as a result of the publication of the EPA LLW Standard.

Unfortunately,'these assurances no longer appear to be true.

EPA is under no statutory or court-ordered mandate to issue these standards.. Therefore, I recommend that EPA discontinue its plans to issue those portions of Subparts A and-B of this rule that would apply to NRC-or Agreement State-licensed LLW facilities and discontinue its plans to issue Subpart C in any form.

The Commission has reviewed and approved this position.

concern with 40 CFR Part 764 is resolved.because the standards would no-longer require States-to dispose of NARM in licensed low-level waste sites.
