NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Decommissioning Criteria for the West Valley Demonstration 
Project (M-32) and the West Valley Site; Revised motice of public 
meeting

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Revised notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On December 3, 1999, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC) published in the Federal Register a draft Policy Statement on the 
criteria to be used for decommissioning the West Valley Demonstration 
Project and West Valley Site and an announcement of a public meeting on 
the Policy Statement. The time scheduled for that public meeting has 
been lengthened from two to three hours. Therefore, NRC will conduct a 
public meeting at the Ashford Office Complex, 9030 Route 219, West 
Valley, New York, conference room C1, on January 5, 2000, from 7:00-
10:00 p.m. to discuss the draft policy statement for the 
decommissioning criteria for West Valley with interested members of the 
public.
    The NRC requested that comments on the draft Policy Statement be 
submitted by February 1, 2000. The purpose of the meeting, which will 
be transcribed, is to provide information to the public on the policy 
statement and the NRC's regulatory responsibilities and to engage in a 
discussion with the public on questions and concerns related to NRC 
responsibilities. The discussion will also facilitate the preparation 
of any written comments on the policy statement and give the public an 
opportunity to provide oral comments. In the discussions, NRC staff 
will be interested in hearing views on issues such as: Institutional 
Controls/Engineered Barriers; Incidental Waste; Partial Site Release; 
Fulfillment of NRC's National Environmental Policy Act responsibility, 
and any other issues related to the NRC's role at West Valley that the 
public may be interested in. Although the focus of the meeting will be 
on a discussion with the public on West Valley issues, some time will 
be reserved for those wishing to read a brief formal statement.
