ItJBell PA na "9 (Ritun to WM 623 SS) _ MEMORANDUM FOR: Donald Grimsley, Director LHIgginbotham Division of Rules and Records FROM: Joseph 0. Bunting, Chief Policy and Program Control Branch Division of Waste Management
SUBJECT:
UMTRCA - ESTABLISHMENT OF DOCKET FILES We request your recommendation on whether docket numbers should be established at_this time on the existing site files being maintained by the Division of Waste Management in the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Program (UMTRAP) as mandated by the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (UMTRCA) (Public Law 95-604, copy enclosed). The Act requires a program of assessment and remedial action at abandoned uranium mill tailings sites. The Department of Energy has the lead for the activities outlined in this program; however, most of DOE's actions must be performed with concurrence by the NRC. The Divisinn of Waste Management has, to date, received voluminous amounts of material for review from the Department of Energy on these inactive mill tailings sites and has placed them in assigned "WM project files." According to the Act, upon completion of the remedial action program, "such property and minerals shall be maintained pursuant to a license issued by the Commission." This s a unique licensing situation--that is, NRC efforts will be expended prior to receipt of the license application. WM believes that the existing project files with associated "WM Project" numbers should be maintained until such time as a license application is received. At that time, a docket number will be issued. Nevertheless, we request your recommendation on this matter. Thank you. Is ) Joseph 0. Bunting, Chief Policy and Program Control Granch Division of Waste Management
