%,,4...+ / JUL 311992 14EMORANDUM FOR: Eric S. Beckjord, Director Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research FROM: Robert M. Bernero,. Director *'
Office of Nuclear MaterTdl Safety dnd Sa[e9uards
SUBJECT:
FINAL RULE TO ALLOW ONSITE INCINERATION OF SLIGHTLY CONTAMINATED WASlE Oll AT NUCLEAR POWER REACTORS In response tu your July 17, 1992, request, we have reviewed the subject paper and.concer on its submission to the Executive Director for Operations and the Commission. We believe the final rule is properly justified and is well written.
The enclosed markup of the final rule package contains mainly editorial comments which we believe could improve the submission. We also suggest that the EPA's decision on the status of waste oil be consistently described as a "deci.non not to list" rather than a "delisting decision." The term "delisting" has a specific meaning under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act program. Also, at several places, we have provided information from the National Profile on Mixed Waste which could further delineate the isste being addressed.

kC \ 4 -2 POR The Commissioners 6 an Environmental Impact Statement is not required. The Environmental Assessment and finding of No Significant Inpact was published in the Federal Reaister, as required by 10 CFR 51.35 and Shl19, as Appendix A to-the notice of -
proposed rulemaking (August. 29,1988; 53 FR 32914 at 32917). Minor modifications have been made to reflect the additional discussion of toxic impacts in the preamble of the final rule which responded to public comment. The revised assessment is provided as Enclosure 4. Both the original and revised assessments concluded that the incineratinn of typical waste oils would not result in impacts to the health and- safety of the public or the quality of the environment i which are substantially different from those.
impacts previously considered during individual reactor licensing hearings. The stsff has reviewed the assessment, considered the public comments and the changes in the text of the final rule, and concluded that the finding of no significant impact need not be changed;
- 1. This amendment does not constitute a backfit under 10 CFR 50.109, and a backfit analysis is not required.
