SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the Secretary of Energy 
Advisory Board's Panel on Emerging Technological Alternatives to 
Incineration is to provide independent external advice and 
recommendations to the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board on emerging 
technological alternatives to incineration for the treatment of mixed 
waste for the Department of Energy. The Panel will focus on the 
evaluation of emerging non-incineration technologies for the treatment 
of low-level, alpha low-level and transuranic wastes containing 
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other hazardous constituents. 
Waste categories to be addressed include inorganic homogeneous solids, 
organic homogeneous solids, and soils. The Panel will also evaluate 
whether the emerging non-incineration technologies could be implemented 
in a manner that would allow the Department of Energy to comply with 
all legal requirements, including those contained in the Settlement 
Agreement and Consent Order signed by the State of Idaho, Department of 
Energy, and the U.S. Navy in October 1995.
