| 96-32486 | Heartland Operation To Protect the Environment: Denial of Petition for Rulemaking | Proposed Rule | The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is denying a petition for rulemaking (PRM-61-3) submitted by the Heartland Operation to Protect the Environment. The petitioner requested that the NRC amend its regulations to adopt a rule regarding government ownership of a low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) or (LLW) disposal site that is consistent with petitioner's view of the applicable Federal statutes. The petition is being denied because the NRC believes there is no conflict between Section 151(b) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) and its regulations requiring that LLW disposal facilities be sited on land owned by Federal or State government. The NRC has the authority to require Federal or State land ownership as a condition for licensing a LLW disposal facility and continues to believe the existing regulatory procedures are appropriate. | 1996-12-23 | 1996 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1996/12/23/96-32486/heartland-operation-to-protect-the-environment-denial-of-petition-for-rulemaking | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-12-23/pdf/96-32486.pdf | Nuclear Regulatory Commission | 383 | The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is denying a petition for rulemaking (PRM-61-3) submitted by the Heartland Operation to Protect the Environment.
