OSTI ID:6009707
The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs supports H.R. 1083 as amended by the committee. The amendment to the Act would improve procedures for establishing and implementing regional compacts among the states, and address the problem that progress on ratification has been slow because only those compact states with existing facilities will have available disposal capacity when the compacts go into effect. Following the recommended changes in the bill, the report defines low-level wastes, federal responsibilities, and the mechanisms for determining allocations to sited regions. There is separate consideration for the Tennessee Valley Authority and non-compact states. The report concludes with a section-by-section analysis and the text of the bill.
