Dear Mr. Chairman:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has sent to the Office of the Federal Register for publication the enclosed final amendment to the Commission's rules in 10 CFR Part 20.
The amendment allows nuclear power reactor licensees to incinerate, onsite, slightly contaminated waste oils without the need for a specific license amendment.
These operations will be subject to continued compliance with existing overall plant discharge limits.
The intent of tha rule is to provide a potentially cost effective and environmentally sound method of disposal of this category of waste other than burial at a licensed low-level waste disposal site.
This rule was initiated in response to a petition for rulemaking (PRM-20-15) submitted by the Edison Electric Institute and the Utility Nuclear Waste Managoment Group.
