Dear Governor Brown:

California became an Agreement State under Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, when an agreement between the Atomic Energy Commission (now the NRC) and the State became effective on September 1, 1962.

Under the provisions of this Act, California assumed certain regulatory authority over the use of reactor produced isotopes, the source materials uranium and thorium, and small quantities of special nuclear materials.

Under Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act as amended by the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (UMTRCA), Agreement States can continue to regulate uranium mills and mill tailings after November 1981, by entering.into an amended agreement with the NRC.

In UMTRCA, the Congress provided for the first time, funds for grants to States to assist them in preparing their revised regulatory program.

California applied for and received ~a grant of $50,000 under that program, thereby indicating the State's interest in pursuing this additional regulatory authority.

Thus, on the continuing presumption that California does wish to have authority for the regulation of mills and mill tailings whenever they are established within the State, it is necessary that the present agreement between AEC (now NRC) and the State be amended.

(See for proposed amendment).

Before it can be amended, we must review Cal.ifornia's regulatory program as it relates to mills and mill tailings.

In the summer of 1980, we began an early review of current and potential uranium mill Agreement State programs to provide an early indication of where each State stands in preparing to enter into amended agreements.

On July 31, 1980, we wrote to Ms. Beverlee Myers, Director, Health Services, and reported our initial assessment of the California program for regulating uranium mills and mill tailings with respect to the NRC

- cri teria. On September 19, 1980, Mr. Ward, Chief, Radiologic Health Section, furnished us additional information in response to our assessment.

Included in this response is reference to State comments on statutes to be transmitted to us at a later date. At this time we have not received such comments, alth uy, with the information provided, we have reassessed the California program.

Our findings include an analysis (Enclosure 2) of the California Health and Safety Code as it applies to uranium milling regulation which identifies specific issues needing resolution.

8108260 // N

The Honorable Edmund G. Brown, Jr. We note that California has not enacted statutes nor promulgated regula-l tions specific to uranium mills and mill tailings.

In order to provide a basis for moving to amend the agreement, the State must adopt statutory I

and regulatory language which satisfies the following requirements:

1.

The UMTRCA of 1978, as amended; 2.

10 CFR 40 Appendix A and 10 CFR 150; and 3.

Recently published Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption Thereof by States Through Agreement (Enclosure 3).

We cannot, however, complete a finding regarding California's readiness for an amendment to its agreement unless all criteria have been met, including those for staffing.

We suggest, therefore, that California J

continue to work to put into place the necessary framework and define 1

its organizational relationships, staff requirements, and procedures to i

meet the requirements.

4

)

It will be helpful to receive a timetable outlining California's actions to resolve these issues.

We suggest a target date of July 1, 1981 for formal submission by California of the application for amendment.

j Since California does not have an active mill nor an imminent likelihood of an application, we understand that staffing to handle mill licensing and regulation has been deferred by the State.

In order that all parties f

can be aware of California's intention to regulate mills and mill tailings in the event a mill is propused in the State, we propose that if all criteria are met except for staffing, the following statement replace i

the effective date statement at the end of the enclosed proposed model

]

amendment:

1 l

This amendment to the Agreement shall become effective upon

{

certification by the Governor to the Commission that the personnel i

meeting the specifications in the State's submissions dated j

have entered on duty with the State and upon a subsequent fEding by the Commission that these personnel meet the criteria snd that the State program continues to meet the criteria.

We presume that the State will reliably know of forthcoming applications, r

I will obtain the necessary staff, and then request full implementation of the agreement.

In our opinion, California has much work that needs to be done in order i

to achieve success in moving towards entering into an amended agreement with NRC and meeting said requirements. We need to know at an early I

L

The Honorable Edmund G. Brown, Jr. e date how the State plans to complete its actions in this matter.

If you have any questions, please have your staff contact Mr. G. Wayne Kerr, Director of NRC's Office of State Programs (301-492-8170).

Sincerely, 7

ENCLOSURE 2 Statutes and Reculations Enclosure II of the September.19,1980 letter from Joseph.0, Warc, f

Chief, Radiological Health Section to G. Wayne Kerr, Director, Office of State Programs, states that a supplemental response'to our evaluation regarding Statutory Authority will be made.under separate cover. As noted, we have not received this response.

Secondly, the letter addresses draft regulations planned for December,1980, which have not as yet been submitted to us.

At the present time, we are unaware of any uranium mill tailings regula-tions having ever been drafted by the State pursuant to Section 274.0 of the Atomic Energy Act. We believe prompt action must be taken to develop these regulations. The statutes and regulations must be promulgated by November 8,1981 in order for California.to regulate uranium milling and mill tailings.

Further, the U'ranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA) requires that Agreement States have, as of November 8,1981,. regulations which are equivalent to the extent practicable, or more stringent than Commission regulations on uranium milling. The Coiinission considers that its regulations, which were recently promulgated, are practicable to implement in Agreement States as they are based upon the analysis in the final Generic Environmental Impact Statement On Uranium Milling, NUREG-0706, which addressed operations in both Agreement and non-Agreement States.

Therefore, the Commission regulations constitute minimum' national standards.

Existing California regulations do not cover any points in Appendix A to 10 CFR 40, or 10 CFR 150.31(b) of NRC's regulations (which constitute

'[

minimum national standards concerning technical, financial, and institu-l tional control aspects of uranium mill tailings disposal under the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) Section 274.o(2), as amended).

We wish to emphasize that UMTRCA states that duplication of proceedings conducted by the Commisison is not necessary (last sentence of 274.o of AEA).

Because the Commission developed the substantive regulations (45FR65521) on uranium mills through a full and public rulemaking proceed-l ing TNUREG-0706), the State could incorporate the record developed by the NRC and include it as a part of the rulemaking to help expedite any rulemaking that may be necessary under State law.

Preparation of Written Assessments l

f Title 10 CFR 150.31(b)(3)(iii) specifically states that "an Agreement State shall. require for each licensing action which has a significant impact on the humar. environment a written analysis by the appropriate q

State agency..."

Article 9 of the California Administrative Code appears to contain adequate authority to require that an environmental assessment of a proposed action be prepared.

However, the California Code does not contain language equivalent to the specifics of this requirement. A confirmation should be made that the State, through its lead Agency, will prepare the written environmental assessment.

It is recommended that the State incorporate in its regulations the language of UMTRCA regarding the impacts to be considered in the environ-mental assessment.

The regulations need to address radiological impacts not presently addressed.

Nonradiological impacts which are addressed in Section 15143(a) of the California Code must include the specific considerations required by AEA Section 274.o(3)(c)(i) through 274.o(3)(c)(iv), as amended.

Written environmental assessments should be prepared for all licensing actions having significant impact on the human environment, i.e., new licensing actions, renewals, and major amendments.

It appears that Section 15143.1 of the California Code might limit the scope of an assessment prepared in connection with some of the actions referred to above.

Pre-Licensing Construction The California regulations do not appear to provide for any ban on pre-licensing construction as required by Section 274.o(3)(D) of the AEA and 10 CFR 150.31(b)(3)(iv).
