Legislation that would consept to the Certtral Interstat2 Low U. vel Radioactive Waste Compact has been introduced into Congress as H.R. '3002.
_N Similar legislation is expected to be. introduced into the Senate sopc, This is the second compact consent legislation to be introduced into Ccegrep,this ' '"
c year - the first was the Northwest Compact, introduced in January. 4tated.'.
t in the Central Compact are AR, KS, LA, NE and OK.

l The Southern States Energy Board, in conjunction with DOE and the National <
l Governors' Association, are sponsoring a national workshop for participants in negotiations for low-level waste compacts at the Baltimore Hilton on 3
l June 20-21, 1983. Several strategies for congressional consent of the compacts will be discussed, as well as consideration of inter-regional agreements, state initiatives in the siting process and inclusion Of federal waste in the compacts.
