10. Abstract:

NRC Forms 540,541, and 542, together with their continuation pages, designated by the "A" suffix, provide a set of standardized forms to meet l

l Department of Transportation (DOT), NRC, and State requirements. The forms were developed by NRC at the request of low-level vi :te industry l- groups. The forms provide uniformity and efficiency in the collection of l

information contained in manifests which are required to control transfers of low-level radioactive waste intended for disposal at a land disposal l

facility. NRC Form 540 contains information needed to satisfy DOT l }

j shipping paper requirements in 49 CFR Part 172 and the waste tracking l

l requirements of NRC in 10 CFR Part 20. NRC Form 541 contains l information needed by disposal site facilities to safely dispose of low-level waste and information to meet NRC and State requirements regulating these activides. NRC Form 542, completed by waste collectors or processors, contains information which facilitates tracking the identity of i

the waste generator. That tracking becomes more complicated when the  !

l waste forms, dimensions, or packagings are changed by the waste processor. Each container of waste shipped from a waste processor may contain waste from several different generators. The information provided on NRC Form 542 permits the States and Compacts to know the original generators of low-level waste, as authorized by the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985, so they can ensure that waste is disposed of in the appropriate Compact.
