The committee recommendation and suggested amendments for H.R. 1046 describes the Central Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact, which has been ratified by Kansas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and North Dakota are also eligible to participate in the regional compact. The report summarizes the legislation, which permits a regional compact to handle, allocate, and regulate low-level wastes. It also establishes the conditions for the congressional consent, gives a section-by-section analysis of the compact's provisions and requirements for member states, and concludes that the cost of waste facilities will not be inflationary or result in any significant cost to any level of government.
