Dear Chris Shaw:

On March 18, 2022, Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS) sent a letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requesting relaxation of Condition 8.B.4 of the currently effective NRC Exemption Order to WCS. In the letter, WCS requested permission to possess U.S.

Department of Energy Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Waste at the WCS Low-Level Waste Site (WCS Site) near Andrews, Texas, until December 31, 2024. The publicly available WCS Request is available in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) as Accession No. ML22081A181.

The NRC has completed its acceptance review of the WCS Request and will proceed with the detailed technical review. The NRC expects to complete its safety and environmental review with issuance of an NRC letter to WCS by July 29, 2022, under Condition 11 of the 2014 Exemption Order to WCS.

If there are emergent complexities or challenges in our review that would cause changes to the schedule, then the reasons for the changes and the new schedule will be communicated to WCS and Texas.

Please send all future such requests to modify the Conditions in the NRC Order to WCS to:

ATTN: Document Control Desk, Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 205550001.
