| 02-19796 | Criteria for the Certification and Recertification of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant's Compliance with the Disposal Regulations; Alternative Provisions | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA," or "the Agency" or "we") is proposing to revise the "Criteria for the Certification and Recertification of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant's Compliance with the Disposal Regulations," which are used to determine whether the Department of Energy's Waste Isolation Pilot Plant ("WIPP") will comply with EPA's "Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Management and Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level and Transuranic Radioactive Wastes." The following proposed revisions are included in today's action: addition of a mechanism to address minor changes to the provisions of the Compliance Criteria; changes to the approval process for waste characterization programs at Department of Energy transuranic sites; changes to allow for the submission of copies of compliance applications and reference materials in alternative format; and replacement of the term "process knowledge" with "acceptable knowledge." The proposed changes do not lessen the requirements for complying with the Compliance Criteria. Moreover, these changes will have no effect on the technical approach that EPA employs when conducting independent inspections of the waste characterization capabilities at DOE waste generator sites. EPA is conducting this proposed action in accordance with the procedures for substituting alternative provisions of the Compliance Criteria. Today's notice marks the beginning of a 120-day public comment period on this proposed action. | 2002-08-09 | 2002 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/08/09/02-19796/criteria-for-the-certification-and-recertification-of-the-waste-isolation-pilot-plants-compliance | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-08-09/pdf/02-19796.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA," or "the Agency" or "we") is proposing to revise the "Criteria for the Certification and Recertification of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant's Compliance with the Disposal Regulations," which are used to... |
