The Honorable Jerry Huckaby U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Congressman Huckaby:
I am responding to your letter to the Director of the Office of Congressional :
J Affairs dated April 18, 1989, requesting our advice for your constituent, Stranco, Inc. on the matter of permitting to haul low-level and high-level-nuclear waste.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's role in the hauling of nuclear waste is basi-cally limited to regulations for the packagings used to transport large quantities of radioactive waste. The regulations concerning the packagings are provided in 10 CFR Part 71 (copy enclosed). The Commission does not issue permits for waste haulers and, therefore, has no specific information on such permits. The U.S.
Department of Transportation has requirements applicable to the carriers of radioactive waste. By copy of this letter, we are forwarding your request to i Mr. Alan I. Roberts, Director (DHM-1), Office of Hazardous Materials Transportation, 1 U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.,
20590, for further information concerning the hauling of radioactive waste.
I trust this information will assist your constituent. )
