SUBJECT:
ACCEPTANCE OF THE JUNE 30, 2022, WASTE CONTROL SPECIALISTS LLC REQUEST FOR A SUPERSEDING EXEMPTION ORDER (CAC NO. 001542/DOCKET NO. 0707005/EPID NO. L-2022-LLO-0003)
Dear Chris Shaw:
On June 30, 2022, Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS) sent a letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requesting a Superseding NRC Exemption Order to WCS. In the letter, WCS requested permission to move the U.S. Department of Energys Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Waste at the WCS Low-Level Waste Site (WCS Site) near Andrews, Texas from the WCS Federal Waste Facility disposal cell to the WCS Treatment Storage and Disposal Facility (TSDF) Bin Storage Area (BSA)-1 Enclosure. WCS also requested permission to perform in that Enclosure some of the activities needed to prepare the LANL Waste for shipment off the WCS Site and then temporarily store the LANL Waste in that Enclosure. The WCS Request is available in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) as Accession No. ML22200A046.
The NRC has completed its acceptance review of the WCS Request and will proceed with the detailed technical and environmental reviews. The NRC expects to complete its safety and environmental review with issuance of a Superseding NRC Exemption Order by December 31, 2022.
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 both WCS and the State of Texas.
The NRC agrees to withhold the non-public WCS information, as described in the WCS affidavit addressing why the rest of WCS-provided information in the non-publicly available letter was sensitive/confidential information subject to withholding from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding. Also, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/readingrm/adams.html
C. Shaw Please send all future such requests for either a Superseding NRC Exemption Order to WCS or to modify the Conditions in the NRC Exemption Order to WCS to:
U.S. NRC ATTN: Document Control Desk 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852 If you have any questions or need additional information, then please contact me at Harry.Felsher@nrc.gov or at 301415-6559.
