SUBJECT:

EPA ADVANCE NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING ON LOW-LEVEL WASTE Enclosej for your concurrence and signature is a Comission paper to advise the Coninission on staff plans to transmit comments on the EPA Advance Notice and to decline full participation in an associated pilot EPA Negotiated Rulemaking Project. The paper indicates that the coments and response on participation in the EPA Project will be sent November 25, 1983 unless staff is advised to the contrary.

This action was originated by the Division of Waste Management. The Division of Fuel Cycle and Office of State Programs concur. The Executive Legal Director has no legal objection. The action was coordinated with the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES). RES is concerned that the letter and enclosure are not clear enough as to what EPA might properly include in any LLW standard. The RES concern is in light of the 40 CFR Part 191 experience where EPA has continued to include assurance and procedural requirements directed at implementation of the standards (concentration limits) themselves. No significant disagreements on issues have been identified.

Prompt action is required to allow time for Comission cognizance and still meet the coment period expiration date.
