OELD Views on 11. R.1852 i

1.

Th'e NEPA responsibilities of the Commission are unclear.

Section

~

14 indicates that NRC would not be exempted from NEPA, though it would " satisfy" NEPA requirements "only in accordance with the provisions of this Act." See also Section 5(d)(3).

q,'

Buhndersection5(d)(1),theCommissionisdirectednottoconsider

,any site, technique, or method for the design, construction, and operation other than that selected by the Secretary. This takes on special significance when the language of Section 5(d) is U-contrasted with one of its evid'ent sources, namely, the Commission's proposed statement of policy.

There it was provided that a NEPA cost-benefit balance sould be drawn by the Commission prior to issuance of a construction authorization or provisional construc-tion authorization.

Our concern is not directed to the desirability of having NRC carry out NEPA reviews.

Congress could, should it deem it desirable, OC vest this responsibility exclusively in DOE. The problem we believe should be highlig'hted, however, is the uncertainty regarding the NRC role that the proposed language would be certain to engender.

2.

The two-year review period for disposition of an application for a construction authorization is too short--at least if such disposition is taken to mean a final grant or denial of a " full" construction authorization as opposed to a provisional construction

+

=; 6 s

authorization.

If the scope of NRC review is limited by the

\\

}

exclusion of NEPA issues, two years might be sufficient to allow L

for determinations appropriate to the issuance of a provisional construction authorization.

3.

The reference to a " license application" for construction is erroneous. The only licensing authority of.the Comission applies to the receipt and possession of nuclear material.

This concern can be dealt with simply by striking the word " license" from section5(d)(1).

O 4.

The direction to dispose of a 1icense application, pursuant to section 5(d)(4) "in a manner consistent with the goals and purposes of this Act" is obj'ectionable insofar as it might be read to establish licensing criteria other than those set forth in the Atomic Energy Act. This is potentially a serious problem when one, examinesthepurposesoftheAct(sec.2(b)),whichrelateto having the repository in operation by September 30, 1988 and not at al t the pr tecti n f' health and safety.

O 5.

The legislative history should make it clear that the differen.tia-tion between " nuclear wastes" and " spent nuclear fuel" (e.g.,sec.

3(3)) is not intended to imply that spent fuel is not high-level radioactive waste within the meaning of section 202 of the Energy Reorganization Act.

v 6.

The authority of the Secretary to regulate the form of materials delivered to a repository (sec. 7(a)(2)) should not be regarded

.as limiting the discretion of the Commission.

/ '-

7.

The assessment of the possibilities of migration into the eco-

)

system by EPA,is probably inappropriate, except to the extent

~

j that it is limited to comments made upon environmental impact i

statements. A more detailed review would be duplicative of the Commission's functions and a departure irom the established division of responsibilities between NRC and EPA.

I'l V

8.

Participation in Commission proceedings should be the prerogative of a " State" rather than a " State legislature."

(Sec. 11 (b). )

9.

References to the ' Chairman of the Commission" should be deleted

~

whenever the function is one that is properly vested in the j

Commission as a whole.

(See, esp.sec.12,sec.13(b).)

+

10. Section13(d)mayleadtodisputesastowhetherparticular Commission regulations are promulgated "under this Act" or under the Atomic Energy Act, particularly if they are of broader appli-cability.

l 11.

Section13(d)mightcutoffuntimelychallengesfiledbyDOE. The extent to which challenges by ot'her persons would be barred is unclear.

12. The " joint lead agency" approach to NEPA seems inappropriate for

\\

a, situation in which one agency is an applicant for a license and a second agency has adjudicatory responsibility.

If NRC retains NEPA responsibilities, it would probably be most appropriate for-it to serve as the sole lead agency.

v, J, *:

f3.

Thefeferenceto"authorityofStatestoinspectnuclearfacilities as designated pursuant to State law" is potentially very trouble-some.

If it means no more than that State representatives should have an opportunity to visit the site and view the activities conducted there from time to time, in accordance with regulations of the Commission, it should so provide. But the implication is that the activities;should in some way be subject to State regu-lation. The desirability and extent of such regulation are matters requiring careful evaluation. See Hancock v. Train, 48 L.Ed.2d 555, 565:

"Because of the fundamental principles shielding federal installations and activities from regulation by the States, an authorization of state regulation is found only when Q

and to the extent there is a ' clear congressional mandate,'

' specific congressional action' that makes this authorization of state regulation ' clear and unambiguous.'"
