YES 1.0 Backaround Uranium Mill sites under license after November 8,'1978, are regulated under Title II of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA), which amended tSe Atomic Energy Act.
Licensing for these sites must meet the requirements of 10 CFR 40.--
Throughout FY 97, licensees will submit e wide variety of requests to amend their approved license, including some that will require technical review in the areas of geotechnical engineering, radon barrier design, groundwater issues, and soil cleanup.
The existing license, background information, and any information submitted with the request will be made available so that the individual amendments can be reviewed in accordance with applicable criteria.
2.0 Objective I
The objective is to confirm that licensed activities will be in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 40.
CNWRA must first determine if enough information has been provided by the licensee, and if not, request what is needed.
With adequate information, CNWRA will do a detailed evaluation to determine whether or not the requirements of 10 CFR 40 are met.
If the proposed amendment is considered deficient, the licensee will be requested to revise the request accordingly to meet the requirements of Part 40. Once a pian is acceptable. CNWRA will provide a written Technical Evaluatd.on Report (TER).
j 3.0 Technical Qualifications Reauired CNWRA will provide the services of health physicist, geotechnical engineer, geochemist, and/or groundwater hydrologist who have the capability to evaluave each amendment request.
Familiarity wit, NRC regulations and standard review procedures is required.
4.0 level of Effort The estimated total effort for the review of approximately five license amendments in this task is 416 staff hours (0.2 FTE) for a health physicist, l
geotechnical engineer, geochemist, and/or groundwater hydrologist. This does not include time spent waiting for licensee responses or NRC and management l
reviews.

6.0 Scope of Work l
CNWRA staff will use the Final. Standard Review Plan for the Review of Remedial l
Action of Inactive Mill Tailings Sites Under Title I of UMTRCA (June 1993),
l other current design guidance, examples of past amendment reviews, and discussions with NRC staff, to:
1.
Become familiar with NRC's procedures for evaluating license amendments.
L L
2.
Evaluate the licensee's submittal, including, as necessary:
a.
previous related licensing actions b.
previously-approved reclamation plan l
c.
relevant groundwater data, geotechnical data and construction l
specifications 3.
Prepare a status report which addresses CNWRA's amendment review conclusions and comments, including whether or not the amendment meets the standard, needs minor modification, or needs additional justification or supporting data.
4.
Repeat steps 2 - 3 as necessary to reach a decision to either deny or accept the amendment request.
5.
Prepare a final TER for the amendment request review (similar to an 4
example report to be provided by NRC staff) presenting the evaluation of the request with a discuscian of how it meets applicable-criteria of Part 40.
The report should be provided as a hard copy and in diskette form compatible with the Wordperfect 5.1 processing system.
7.0 Meetina and Travel Two meetings to be held at NRC's offices in Rockville, Maryland (if required),
as directed by the NRC Project Manager.
Additional travel may be necessary to a particular site to review s
construction data and become familiar with site conditions, as approved by the Project Manager.

Licensee's submittal Background information, including any related previous licensing actions-9.0 Schedule The following schedule of the staff time required is based on an average estimate of time intervals to accomplish a typical amendment.
The time required to obtain responses from the licensee or management approval of various phases is estimated under the response column.
However, amendments can cover a wide range in their complexity, so the actual time spent on each review may vary significantly. Deliverable dates are not provided because of this variability and the fact that licensee submittal dates are unknown.
