Dear Mr. Chairman:
Enclosed for your information is a copy of a notice of final rulemaking for 10 CFR Part 62 to be published in the Federal Register.
This rulemaking implements Section 6 of the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 (the'Act). Section 6 direc.ts the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to grant a generator or State " emergency access" to any.non-Federal commercial LLW disposal facility if access to those facilities' has been denied but is necessary in. order to eliminate a serious and immediate threat to the public health and safety or the common defense'and security. Although the Act does not require NRC to develop a. rule to carry out its Section 6 responsibilities, NRC is proposing this rulemaking to establish the prncedures and criteria that will be used in m,aking the required emergency access decisions.
In developing this final _ rule, NRC has_tried to be consistent with.both the actual text of Section 6 and the Congressional. intent expressed in the legisla-the history and to reflect public comments to the extent possible. The final rule sets strict requirements for granting emergency access, places the burden of demonstrating that there is a need for emergency access on the party request-ing emergency access, and should serve to encourage potential requestors to 1 seek other means for resolving the problems created by lack'of access to LLW disposal facilities. 1 J
