The inspection will be conducted the week of May 17, 1999. Additional information on the INEEL inspection, including the announcement of a public comment period on relevant site documents, was previously published on April 16, 1999, at 64 FR 18870. EPA is also announcing the availability of, and soliciting public comments for 30 days on, Department of Energy (DOE) documents on waste characterization and quality assurance programs applicable to transuranic (TRU) radioactive waste at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) proposed for disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The documents are: ``Bechtel Nevada Transuranic Waste Characterization Quality Assurance Project Plan, L-E10.301.LWC, May 1998'' (hereafter NTS TRU QAPjP); ``Nevada Test Site Transuranic Waste Certification and Quality Assurance Plan, B-A20/97.03, Revision 0, 2/4/98'' (hereafter NTS Certification Plan); ``Mobile Characterization Services (MCS) Transuranic Waste Characterization Program Quality Assurance Project Plan, MCS-102, Rev.

These documents are available for review in the public dockets listed in ADDRESSES. The EPA will use these documents to evaluate waste characterization systems and processes and the quality assurance program at NTS. In accordance with EPA's WIPP Compliance Criteria at 40 CFR 194.8, EPA will conduct an inspection of waste characterization systems and processes and an audit of the quality assurance program at NTS the week of June 7, 1999, to verify that these programs can properly control the characterization of transuranic waste at issue, consistent with the Compliance Criteria.
