Based on our experience, it normally takes a state that is actively pursuing an agreement 1 to 2 years to reach the point in the process where a formal request is'sent to NRC. The NRC's evaluation of that request normally takes another 3 months.
The licensing process for a low-level waste site officially begins when an application for a license is received, is found to be complete, and is docketed. Regarding your question on the licensing schedule, we are gathering information in order to answer that in as much detail as possible and will send it to you separately.
We and the Office of State Programs stand ready to meet with you to discuss in more detail the process of entering into an agreement. Please call me if you would like us to arrange such a meeting. My telephone number is (817) 860-8139.
Sincerely,

NUCLE AR REGULATORY COMMISSION mssincrow, o. c.rosss l
\...*/
- July, 1984 l
SUPMARY OF i THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION'S PROGRAM FOR J
TRANSFER OF REGULATORY AUTHORITY TO STATES
, Prior to enactment of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, nuclear energy activities in the United States were largely confined to the Federal Government. The Act made it possible for private comercial fims to enter the field for the first time. Because of the hazards associated with nuclear materials, Congress detemined that these activities should be regulated under a Federal licensing system to protect the health and safety of workers in the nuclear industry and the public. The Nuclear Regulatory Comission is the Federal agency charged with this '
responsibility. ~
" Although protection of the public's health and safety has traditionally been a State responsibility, the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 did not specify such a role for the States in nuclear matters. This policy was changed in 1959 when Congress enacted Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act. Section 274 spells out a Stata role and provides a statutory basis i
i under which the Federal Government can relinquish to the States portions of its regulatory authority. The 1959 amendment made it possible for the States to license and regulate byproduct material (radioisotopes),3
! source material (the raw materials of atomic energy), and small quantities of special nuclear material. The Commission is required, however, to retain regulatory authority over the licensing of nuclear facilities such as reactors, exports and imports of nuclear materials and facilities, larger quantities of fissionable material, consumer i products and certain types of radioactive wastes. The Atomic Energy Act l
was amended in 1978 by the passage of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 which requires Agreement States regulating l uranium and thorium tailings resulting from recovery operations to adopt i
certain technical and procedural requirements. The 1978 amendment also <
requires NRC to periodically review Agreement State programs for j adequacy and compatibility.
l l Section 274j of the Atomic Energy Act provides that the NRC may l-teminate its agreement with a State if the Comission finds that such '
termination is necessary to protect the public health and safety. In 1980 Section 274j was amended to authorize the Comission to l 1 In 1978, Congress enacted the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (UMTRCA) which, among other things, added to the category of byproduct material " tailings or wastes produced by the extraction or concentration of uranium or thorium from any ore processed primarily for its source material content."

- - temporarily suspend all or part of an agreement with a State in the case of an emergency situation where the State failed to take necessary action. Such suspensions may remain in effect only for the duration of the emerg ncy. A cop of Section 274 of the Act, as amended, is enclosed Enclosure 1 .
The mechanism for the transfer of NRC authority to a State to regulate the radiological health and safety aspects of nuclear materials is an i
agreement between the Governor of the State and the Comission.
Criteria for such agreements have been published by NRC as a Policy Statement in the Federai Register (Enclosure 2). A copy of the most
, recent agreement, with Ute, is enclosed for illustration (Enclosure 3).
Before actually signing the dccument, the Comission, by statute, must determine that the State's radiation control program is compatible with the Comission's, meets the applicable parts of Section 274 and that it is adequate to protect the public health and safety. For its part, the 1 State establishes its authority to enter such an agreement by passing enabling legislation.
Atp{esent, twenty-sevenStateshaveenteredintosuchAgreementswith NRC. These States now regulate about 60% of the licensees for byprodect, source material, and special nuclear material in the United States. In 1981 the Comission determined that qualified States may also enter into limited agreements for regulation of low-level waste in permanent disposal facilities.
Each agreement provides that the State will use its best efforts to maintain continuing compatibility with the NRC's program. The NRC maintains a continuing relationship with each Agreement State to assure continued compatibility of the State's regulatory program and its adequacy to protect health and safety. This relationship includes:
exchange of information on a current basis covering regulations, licensing, inspection and enforcement data; consultation on special licensing, inspection, enforcement and other regulatory problems; and an annual meeting of all Agreement States to consider regulatory matters of '
comon interest. Special technical assistance is routinely provided to the States upon request.
As mandated by the Atomic Energy Act, NRC conducts on-site, in-depth program reviews periodically of each Agreement State in which organizational, administrative, personnel, regulatory, licensing, compliance and enforcement program areas are reviewed. Selected licensing and compliance casework is reviewed in detail. State :
inspectors are accompanied by NRC staff on selected inspections of State licensees. A copy of the guidelines which the NRC uses in conducting such reviews have been published in the Federal Register as a Comission policystatement(Enclosure 4).

I
. - 3, Wnen program deficiencies are idzntified specific recommendations for improvements are developed and formally transmitted to the State for action. Follow-up reviews are made as necessary.
NRC provides a wide spectrum of training for State personnel. Examples are short-tenn courses in health physics, radiography radiation safety, nuclear medicine, inspection procedures, program management, and control of uranium mill tailings. Travel costs and per diem for these training sessions are paid by NRC.
Although other Federal agencies, such as the Environmental Protection 2 Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Transportation are also involved in the control of radiation hazards, NRC's Agreement State Program serves as a focal point for Federal-State cooperation in radiation control. The NRC State Agreement Program is implemented by the NRC regional offices in accordance with established :
policies and procedures developed and maintained by the Office of State Programs.
The staffs of the Office of State Programs and the Regional Offices are ready to meet with representatives of Governors, State agencies, State legislative comittees, State advisory groups and others to explain ;
fully the NRC Agreement program. They can provide descriptive materials about these programs and model State acts for regulatory legislation and t
will also arrange meetings with other NRC staff members on specialized subjects as appropriate.
What are the advantages for a State that takes over the Comission's regulatory authority as described above? The principal advantages are the following: ,
(a) NRC's authority does not include regulation of x-ray machines and t accelerator-produced otherradiationproducingequipmeng,Regulationofthesesources radioactive materials, and radium. -
for radiation protection is, and always has been, primarily the responsibility of the States. Many States now exercise surveillance over these sources of radiation which, in the ,
aggregate, are responsible for over 75% of the public's exposure to ;
radiation, other than from background. Thus, by assuming the ;
authority which the NRC is authorized to relinquish, a State is !
able to have, as part of its public health system, a complete and comprehensive program for radiation safety.
(b) Many facilities, including medical institutions and physicians, use radioisotopes as well as x-ray machines and radium. A State regulatory system which covers all such radiation sources enables
.most users to deal with a single agency rather than with a Federal agency for a part and the~ State for the remainder.
(c) An agreement with NRC enables a State to make its own licensing decisions and in doing so, to take into account local conditions.
, 3 NRC does regulate radium to the extent it occurs in uranium or
! thorium mill tailings, see footnote 1, p. 1. ,

4 4
(d) The proximity of licensed users of radioactive materials to the
. regulating agency has bten cited as having significant advantages for both the users and the agency.
(e) Entering into such an agreement with NRC would be consistent with a i
serious interest of a State in being kno A dgeable about all sources of radiation located within its soundaries. '
(f) An agreement with NRC enhances the cote of knowledgeable people at the State level who can respond to inquiries and incidents.
I i
Administrative costs that are incurred by a State becoming an Agreement i j State very from State to State, depending, among other factors, upon
- whether or not the State already has a radiation control program t
covering sources of radiation not regulated by the NRC, i.e., x-ray machines, accelerator-produced radioactive materials and radium. Where this is the case, the incremental costs would be less than if the State previously had only a limited or voluntary radiation control program.
As a rule of thumb,1.0-1.5 staff-years per 100 licenses is needed to i effectively administer the program asstaned from the NRC. This is a 4
rather general index and actual staffing needs will vary according to
, the particular circumstances in any given State. Further, those States 1
which have major licensed facilities in their State, such as low level i- burial grounds and uranium mills, will need additional resources. NRC staff can provide further guidance on staffing requirements for
- regulating in these areas.
NRC charges most of its licensees license application and inspection fees. Whether or not an Agreement State charges fees is a matter of choice for the State. NRC does not provide funding to States for routine program costs. Some Agreement States fund their programs out of
! general revenues and plan to continue doing so. The majority of the i
Agreement States, however, have authorized collection of user fees as a means of assuring an adequate funding base. As a result of these States' fees and those of NRC, over two-thirds of the licensees in the United States are licensed by agencies authorized to charge user fees. ;
NRC has prepared model State legislation which includes authorization for a fee system. NRC staff can assist States in developing fee j systems.
- The Agreement State experience since 1962, the year of the first !
Agreementi, has been that the States generally conduct effective !
! radiation control programs. When major program deficiencies are noted l
' by NRC, technical advice, assistance and training is offered by NRC (within its resources). The main area of concern is maintaining ,
! adequate staffing levels, a reflection of State salary structures and i
' funding. On the other hand, Agreement States typically excel in having '
highly trained staff and by conducting more frequent inspections than NRC. '

GUIDANCE ON LIMITED STATE AGREEMENTS FOR REGULATION l
OF LOW-LEVEL RADIDACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act of 1980, Public Law 96-573, established national policy that each State is responsible for providing for the availability of capacity either within or outside the State for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste generated within its border (except for waste generated as a result of defense activities or Federal research and development activities), and that low-level radioactive waste can be most safely and efficiently managed on a regional basis.
The Act sanctioned regional solutions to waste management by way of interstate compacts. The National Governors' Association and the State Planning Council on Radioactive Waste Management have endorsed this policy of State responsibility for providing the capacity for disposal of such wastes and the regional implementation of such facilities.
In conjunction with the current widespread interest and activity in establishing interstate compacts and planning for regional waste disposal facilities, interest has also been expressed that a State which i does not now regulate radioactive materials under an agreement with the Nuclear Regulatory Comission may wish to regulate the disposal of I
low-level radioactive waste as- host State for a regional disposal l
, facility. )
Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act provides for the discontinuance of Nuclear Regulatory Comission regulatory authority over certain radioactive materials and the assumption thereof by the States through 12/84 5
agreements. The materials subject to these agreements are source material (natural uranium and thorium which are raw materials of atomic energy), byproduct material (reactor produced radicisotopes) and small quantities of special nuclear (fissionable) materials. Twenty-six of the State Agreements now in effect include authority to regulate disposal of these materials as low-level waste.* Subsection 274.b provides that the Comission shall enter into an agreeme ' with a State if (1) the Governor cer_tifies that the State has a program for control of radiation hazards adequate to protect the public health and safety i with respect to the materials covered by the proposed agreement and that the State desires to assume regulatory responsibility for such materials and (2) the Comission finds that the State program is compatible with the Comission's program for regulation of such meterials and is adequate to protect the public health and safety with respect to the materials covered by the proposed agreement.
In January 1981, the Comission updated and republished its criteria for guidance of the States and the Comission in entering into agreements under section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act. On July 21, 1983 the i .
criteria were revised to reflect recent changes in low-level waste '
regulations (Reference 1). Criterion number 27 now designates low-level l
radioactive w'astes in permanent disposal facilities as a separate i category of transferable authority. A State may, if it desires, seek authority for regulating such waste facilities without seeking authority for the other radioactive materials which are customarily included in

these agreements. An agreement for transfer of authority only for such waste disposal is referred to as a limited agreement. Annotations on applicability of the January 23, 1981 criteria to limited agreements for low-level waste disposal are contained in Appendix 1, and additional guidance applicable to waste disposal to supplement the criteria is contained in Appendix 2.
The Council of State Governments' SUGGESTED STATE LEGISt.ATION - PROGRAM FOR 1961 included a model State Radiation Control Act which a number of States have used as a framework of legislative authority for developing comprehensive radiation control programs. In 1983 a complete updating of this model act was published (Reference 2). (Copies available from theOfficeofStatePrograms.) A further edited revision of the model act (Reference 3) has been prepared for specific applicability to States which desire to enter into limited agreements with the Comission for regulating low-level radioactive waste disposal only.

1 is invited to section M.9 of these regulations which provides that a license will not be issued to receive radioactive material from other persons for disposal on land not owned by a State or the Federal Government.
The final 10 CFR Part 61 was published in the Federal Register on ,
December 28,1982 (Reference 5). This regulation prescribes performance objectives for land disposal of waste; technical requirements for site selection, design, operation and closure of a near-surface disposal facility; technical requirerents on form for waste to be disposed of by land burial; classification of waste; institutional requirements for ,
State ownership and proprietary responsibilities; financial requirements; requirements for submitting applications for licenses to conduct waste burial activities and procedures which the Commission will follow in the issuance of such licenses.
Criterion 9 of the criteria applies the technical criteria contained in Part 61 in judging the adequacy and compatibility of a State's proposal to regulate low-level waste disposal pursuant to an agreement under section 274.b of the Atomic Energy Act. Certain technical portions of the rule such as waste classification and manifest recordkeeping will not work unless these standards are adopted by the States.

Commission practice in its own licensing of low-level waste disposal and, while encouraged for Agreement States, such provisison are not rade a matter of compatibility.
Adequate financial arrangements shall be required for decontamination, closure and stabilization of a disposal site. In addition, Section 151(a)(2), Nuclear Waste Policy Act, P.L.97-425 requires NRC to review and approve financial arrangements for long-term monitoring and maintenance of a site prior to the State relieving the site operator of licensed responsibility.
NRC has developed guides and technical position papers to support implementation of 10 CFR Part 61. A listing of those available through Office of State Programs can be found in Reference 6.
The Office of State Programs is prepared to provide and arrange for consultation and assistance by NRC staff and its contractors to the Agreement States in evaluating waste disposal programs. This assistance can include furnishing computer modeling programs for use by the State, computer analyses of data submitted by the State and assistance in the preparation of environmental analyses. Arrangements for assistance should be made with the State Agreements staff of the Office of State 4
Programs.

APPENDIX 1 ANNOTATIONS ON CRITERIA FOR NRC-STATE AGREEMENTS FOR APPLICABILITY TO LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL !
The Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption Thereof by States Through Agreement which were originally published in 1961 were republished in the Federal Register, with additions, on January 23, 1981. Criterion 27 provides that a State and the Commission may enter into an agreement which is limited to regulation of low-level radioactive wastes in permanent disposal facilities. A revision to Criterion 9. Radioactive Waste Disposal was published July 21, 1983.
, Most of the criteria in the January 23, 1981 publication are applicable l to a limited agreenent for low-level waste disposal as well as to the
! usual NRC-State agreements for all of the categories of materials listed i
in section 274.b of the Atomic Energy Act and in Criterion 27. However, a few of the criteria are not applicable to waste disposal, vis.,
Criterion 15 which applies to medical uses of radioactive seterials and Criteria 2g through 36 which apply to the processing of uranium and i
thorium. In addition, guidance is provided in Appendix 2 on several new 1
considerations pertaining to low-level waste disposal.
J Criterion 9 refers to waste disposal by waterial users and land disposal of waste received from other persons. For a limited agreement criterion 9 requires promulgation of regulations for land disposal of radioactive >
waste to be compatible with 10 CFR Part 61.

Criterion 24, State Agency Designation, was written to apply to the State agency or agencies which would regulate the uses of radioactive reterials. In the case of waste disposal facjlities the State rey have both proprietary responsibilities for the selection, ownership, and operation or contracting for operation of the facility and regulatory responsibilities for establishment of standards, licensing, inspection and enforcement of regulatory requirements. In order to avoid the possibility of conflict of interest between these proprietary and regulatory functions, it is important that the two different types of responsibilities not be assigned to the same State agency.
Pursuant to Section 150.10 of the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR Part 150, Federal government agencies are not subject to licensing by Agreement States and Criterion 28 provides for the States to grant exemptions from their regulatory requirements for designated classes of contractors of.the Commission and the Departnent of Energy, including prime contracts at-government owned sites such as Hanford, Washington and Savannah River, South Carolina which include among their activities the disposal of radioactive wastes. The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act provides (in section 3(a)) that compacts established under the Act or actions taken under 'such compacts shall not be applicable to ,
the transportation, management or disposal of low-level radioactive waste from atomic energy defense activities of the Secretary (of the Department of Energy) or Federal research and development activities.
O The legislative history of the Act makes it clear that the legislation was thus drawn to insure that States by compact will not be empowered to 12/84
restrict from such States the transportation, renagement or disposal of westes from the atomic energy defense activities of the Secretary and from the research and development activities of the Secretary and other Federal departments and agencies. Notwithstanding these prohibitions against State regulation of Federal radioactive waste renagement, it is permissible, and in fact is customary, for facilities such as power and research reactors, laboratories and hospitals of Federal agercies, other than the Department of Energy, to utilize commercial waste disposal services at licensed burial sites in the same manner as non-government generators of similar wastes.

APPENDIX 2 GUIDANCE TO SUPPLEMENT CRITERIA FOR STATES IN REGULATING THE DISPOSAL OF LOW-LEVEL RADI0 ACTIVE WASTE Financial Sureties. The State should have procedures to require that an adequate bond, surety or other financial arrangement will be provided by ,
the licensee to assure the completion of all requirements established by the State radiation control agency for the decontamination, closure, decommissioning and reclamation of sites, structures and equipment used in conjunction with the disposal of low-level radioactive wastes and to 4
ensure that sufficient funds will be available to cover the costs of monitoring and long-term care of the facility by the State after l operational and closure activities by the licensee are terminated.
Public Participation and Hearings.* In the case of licenses for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste, the State sh'uld o provide:
(a) An opportunity, after public notice, for written comments and a public hearing with a transcript, and (b) A written determination of the action to be taken based upon l
findings included in such determination and upon evidence presented during the public comment period, with an opportunity for judicial review.
l *These guidance items conform to Commission practice in its licensing of low-level radioactive waste disposal and their adoption by the '
Agreement States is reconnended and urged by the Connission.
-12/84
Environmental Impact Analysis.* For each license for disposal of low-level radioactive waste and for each amendment or renewal of such license which has a significant impact on the human environment, the ,
State should prepare a written analysis (which should be available to the public before comencement of any hearing) of the impact on the human environment of such licensed activity. The analysis should include:
(a) An assessment of the radiological and nonradiological health impacts; (b) An assessment of any impact on any body of water and groundwater; (c) Consideration of alternatives to the licensed activity; (d) Consideration of long-tem impacts, including site closure, decomissioning, decontamination and reclamation; and (e) A weighing of the costs and benefits of the proposed activity, considering the available alternatives.
l
(
i Limitation on Construction.* The State should prohibit any major i construction activity prior to the issuance of a record of decision in connection with any proposed licensing action for which an environmental 1 -
i impact analysis is required. -
- These guidance items confom to Comission practice in its licensing of low-level radioactive waste disposal and their. adoption by the Agreement States is recomended an urged by the Comission.
12/84
Personnel and Organization. This guideline supplements Criterion 20 which discusses the qualifications of regulatory and inspection personnel for Agreement State programs. In addition to persons qualified by training and experience to regulate the radiation protection aspects of handling and use of radioactive materials, the regulation of radioactive waste disposal requires capability in the !
fields of geology, hydrology, ecology and climatology to evaluate and regulate the natural characteristics of a proposed disposal site and the effectiveness of design and operational features of a waste' disposal facility to isolate and contain the buried radioactive waste. As a minimum, a State radiation control program should have on its staff or through consultants the capability to make an independent technical 1 analysis that the established perfomance objectives (e.g., Subpart C of 10 CFR Part 61) will be met and to prepare an environmental impact analysis of the licensed activity.
When it is planned to use consultants from other State agencies, universities or other sources, it is necessary that these persons be available when and to the extent needed. This availability should be assured by appropriate memoranda of understanding, consultant contracts and budgeted funds.
In using consultants from other State agencies or State universities, it is important to consider possible problems if the same persons consult with both the State agency having proprietary responsibility for selection and operation of a disposal site and the regulatory agency.
t 12/84
NRC estimates that the professional staff tine required for issuance of a license for low-level waste disposal is about 4 man-years; for renewal of a license, about 2 ran-years; and for a major amendment, about 1 man-year.
Post-licensing regulatory activities related to the existing waste burial facilities, including resident inspectors at the operating sites and environmental monitoring, are estimated at about one to five person-years per site per year.
In addition to the technical personnel discussed above and in Criterion 20, a State program for regulating radioactive waste disposal needs to .
have adequate staffing or support for legal, administrative and clerical aspects of the program.
Instrumentation and Laboratory Facilities. The State should have available both field and laboratory instruments and related equipment for verifying the measurements and environmental monitoring of the licensee and to conduct independent measurements and environmental monitoring.
l l Laboratory facilities should be available in the radiation control i
l agency, in another State agency or through a commercial service to F
- provide qualitative and quantitative analyses of environmental, operational and possible accidental release samples.
i 12/B4
- - + , ,-
The instruments and laboratory facilities should be described, including their availability and the State's related quality assurance program.
If laboratory facilities or services outside the radiation control agency are relied on, information on what contract or other comitments assure their availability on a timely basis should be included.
