}
Vo_1. 8 No. 9 August 1, 1982 Legislative activity, especially in the low-level waste area, is winding down for 1982. The chart at the end of the Report indicates low-level regional waste compact membership and the status of legislation in each of the States as of this date. Maryland and Delaware were accepted into the negotiating group for the Northeast Compact at the CONEG (Conference of Northeastern Governors) meeting on June 28-29, 1982, and their eligibility.
for the Midwest Compact will be reconsidered at the next meeting in September. A new iteration of the Northeast Compact has been sent to the NRC and other agencies for formal comment.
Washington has enacted a bill (S-5030) which would impact heavily on waste generators and waste disposal companies such as U.S. Ecology. The 3) bill imposes a 30% tax on the gross income of low-level waste disposal v
companies.
The Southern States Energy Board will meet with representatives of several States and the NRC August 3-4, 1982, to discuss SSEB's research on low-level waste licensing. The research addresses alternative licensing procedures for agreement states vs. non-agreement states.
The NRC is sponsoring a meeting for the governor-appointed State Liaison Officers in the Region II Atlanta office September 8-9, 1982. The States to be represented at the meeting are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Topics of discussion will include waste management, emergency planning, enforcement policies, regionalization, spent fuel shipments and notification, as well as other items of mutual regulatory interest.
Anyone interested in attending may call this office for additional information.
