Summary of expenditures of rebates from the DOE low-level radioactive waste surcharge escrow account for calendar year 1987: Report to Congress in response to Public Law 99-240

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6972306
This report is submitted to Congress. It summarizes the expenditures made by States and compact regions of funds rebated by DOE from the Surcharge Escrow Account created by the Act, and to assess the compliance of each State and compact region with the limitations on such expenditure. States with operating disposal sites (''sited States'') may collect a surcharge on disposal of low-level (compact regions currently without disposal sites) and nonmember States to transfer on a monthly basis 25 percent of the surcharges collected for deposit into a Surcharge Escrow Account administered by DOE. DOE, in turn, is required to transfer these funds, and interest which has accrued, back to the non-sited compacts and nonmember States which have compiled with milestones set forth in the Act for development of new disposal sites.
