II. Discussion
On October 30, 2018, the NRC solicited comments on its draft
guidance document, NUREG/BR-0204, Rev. 3, ``Instructions for Completing
NRC's Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest.'' This document
provides instructions to prepare NRC Form 540 (Uniform Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Manifest (Shipping Paper)), NRC Form 541 (Uniform
Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Container and Waste
Description)), and NRC Form 542 (Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Manifest (Manifest Index and Regional Compact Tabulation)). Pursuant to
the requirements of part 20 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR part 20), ``Standards for Protection Against
Radiation,'' Appendix G, ``Requirements for Transfers of Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Intended for Disposal At Licensed Land Disposal
Facilities and Manifests,'' NRC Forms 540 and 541 must be prepared for
low-level radioactive waste intended for ultimate disposal at a
licensed low-level radioactive waste land disposal facility. NRC Form
542 is required only if processors and collectors of low-level
[[Page 65760]]
radioactive waste are shipping low-level radioactive waste attributed
to others for disposal at a licensed low-level radioactive waste land
disposal facility. The public comment period was originally scheduled
to close on December 31, 2018. The NRC has decided to extend the public
comment period on this document until January 31, 2019, to allow more
time for stakeholders to submit their comments.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day of December 2018.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
