1 - a j 1 INFORMATION EXCHANGE PROTOCOL BELOWREGULATORYCONCERNWASTERULEMAKINGPETITigNS L

Purpose:

To establish guidelines for profiling interaction with potential petitioners for rulemaking to exempt radioactive waste streams from regulatory control.

Background:

A Comission Policy Statement and Staff Implementation Plan concerning petitions for rulemaking was published in the Federal Recister on August 29,1986(51FR30839). The Statement and Plan provide guidance for H persons wishing to file rulemaking petitions under 10 CFR 2.802 for exempting slightly radioactive waste streams from Comission regulation. Section 10 of the'L; vlevel Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 required the l-Comission to establish standards and procedures and the technical capability to act on such petitions in an expecited manner. The Statement and Plan are in l' response to this Congressional mandate. I Patential petitioners have expressed a desire to keep NRC staff infomed of j work to prepare petitions and to obtain preliminary staff coments on proposed and ongoing studies and draft documents. NRC staff recognize that profiling interaction can help expedite processing of petitions once filed and that such interaction could be mutually beneficial (e.g., to avoid misunderstandings about the guidance provided in the August notice and to identify additional guidancethatmightbeneeded). However, NRC must maintain its independent review position and avoid any appearance of favored treatment. The guidelines in this document are designed to enable staff to interact with potential petitioners while maintaining an appropriate am's length. L 1 l: 1 i n..--

3 e Guidelines i 1. Potential petitioners may request meetings with NRC staff and management at NRC offices to discuss ongoing work. Such meetings shall be noticed in the Meeting Notices submitted as attachments to the weekly items of Interest to the ) Comission if time pemits. These Meeting Notices are posted in the Public Document Room and provide a means of informing the public. If meetings are scheduled on short notice and cannot be included in the weekly submittels, a notice describing the meeting will be prepared anc sent to the Pubite Document i L Room to post. Members of the public may attend meetings upon request. Such 4 L meetings shall be documented with meeting minutes. Neeting minutes shall be available in the Public Document Room. 2. NRC staff may not participate as a member or fomal NRC liaison representative on any potential petitioner's comittees or other organized groups. 3. NRC staff may attend briefings, comittee meetings, or other potential petitioner functions. Staff may clarify the guidance provided in the August notice and provide status reports on NRC work on below regulatory concern 1 activities. NRC encourages petitioners to make these meetings open to the public to the extent practicable. NRC staff attendance will be documented by one or more methods such as trip reports or meeting minutes. 4 Draft potential petitioner documents provided at meetings will be referenced in meeting minutes or trip reports'and be available to the public through the Public Document Room upon mquest. Documentation of NRC staff l attendance at petitioner events and other meetings will be made a part of the rulemaking record if petitions are eventually filed. j i

1 l (, j -4 5. NRC staff may provide preliminary coments on potential retitioner j documents or programatic briefings but such coments have no binding status On NRC and do not limit the Agency in processing an actual petition with full Agency review. All substantive coments will be documented. Documents reviewsd ano substantive coments will generally be available to the public upon request and made a part of the rulenaking record if a petition is finally. {

filed, i

6. NRC staff coments will be provided as resources permit. NRC will try to be responsive, but the level of detail and timing of comments will be negotiated with potential petitioners on a case-by-case basis. 7. Preliminary staff comments will be directed at idertifying conflicts with i Agency policies and regulations and technical errors or misdirection. Staff ctaments will not define acceptable solutions to conflicts or technical problems unless the problem is covered by existing NRC documents. The other H parties should be advised that if there is no acceptable answer in existing l l guidance or other documents, the merits of the petitioner's solution will be j reviewed when submitted. q ] 4 i V i l i l l \\ l L - ^ ' ^ - - ' ^ ^ - ' ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ - - ' ^ ~ ^~
