FROM:
Jo C. Hoyle, ecretary
SUBJECT:
TAFF REQUIREMENTS - SECY-97-279 - GENERIC AND CUMUMTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF TRANSPORTATION OF HIGH LEVEL WASTE (HLW) IN THE VICINITY OF AN HLW REPOSITORY (SRM M970612)
The Commission has approved the staffs proposal to implement Option 3 to amend 10 CFR 51.53(c)(3)(li)(M) as a long-term solution to categorize the impacts of transportation of HLW as a Category 1 issue. The staffs proposal to require licensees to provide a discussion in the plant specific environmental report (Option 2) should be implamented only if a license renewal application is received before th,e rulemaking activity is completed and a delay due to the generic rulemaking might affect the licensing process for a license renewal. The staff should not!h the Commission if implementation of Option 2 is later deemed necessary for this reason.
