NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Number 40-3453]


Atlas Corporation; Notice of Availability of Supplement to the 
Final Technical Evaluation Report for the Proposed Revised Reclamation 
Plan for the Atlas Corporation Moab Mill

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC) announces the availability of a Supplement to the 
Final Technical Evaluation Report for the Proposed Revised Reclamation 
Plan for the Atlas Corporation Moab Mill.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Myron Fliegel, Uranium Recovery 
and Low-Level Waste Branch, Division of Waste Management, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Telephone (301) 415-6629.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Supplement to the Final Technical 
Evaluation Report (FTER), which provides updated information developed 
at the Atlas Moab Mill since the publication of the FTER in March 1997, 
is being made available for public inspection at NRC's Public Document 
Room at 2120 L Street, NW (Lower Level), Washington, DC 20555.
    The Supplement to the FTER, pertaining to the proposed revised 
reclamation plan submitted by Atlas Corporation, summarizes NRC staff's 
review of additional site data developed for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service (FWS), as a part of the Section 7 Endangered Species Act (ESA) 
consultation process, and additional analyses performed by the Center 
for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA) regarding performance of 
the proposed reclamation. The additional data was developed by the FWS 
in order for it to issue a Final Biological Opinion in accordance with 
the ESA. The results and conclusions of the Section 7 consultation are 
presented in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). The FTER 
was issued in March 1997 and contained staff's analysis and conclusions 
that the proposed on-site reclamation of the existing uranium mill 
tailings pile complies with the requirements contained in Title 10 Code 
of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 40. The additional data and analyses 
did not conflict with staff's analysis or conclusion of acceptability 
contained in the FTER; however, a supplement is needed to update the 
information contained in the FTER.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of April, 1999.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
N. King Stablein,
Acting Chief, Uranium Recovery and Low-Level Waste Branch, Division of 
Waste Management, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
