Title: Commission enforcement. National Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Program

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6520704

Under the terms of any compact for regional management of low-level radioactive waste, disputes may arise between parties to the compact, or a violation of the compact's terms may occur by a person, party state, or other legal entity. The purpose of this document is to suggest methods of: settling disputes between party states; handling adjudicatory violations of terms of the compact; and enforcing decisions of the commission. This document is intended to provide a model that can be easily expanded to meet particular needs of any compact commission. The document is written from a legal perspective and, therefore, reflects certain requirements of filing, time frames, and standard language. The ideas have been taken in general from the Federal Administrative Procedures Act, state administrative procedures, and various state regulatory agencies' rules of procedure. It is hoped this document will be of considerable assistance to compact commissions during formation of policies and procedures.
