Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management; General Guidelines for the Recommendation of Sites for Nuclear Waste Repositories; Yucca Mountain Site Suitability Guidelines

Riepilogo

On November 30, 1999, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend the general guidelines for evaluating the suitability of Yucca Mountain, Nevada as a site for development of a nuclear waste repository (64 FR 67054). That notice established a 75-day public comment period ending February 14, 2000, and announced that DOE would hold two public hearings on the proposal. This notice announces the dates, times and locations of these public hearings and an alternative contact person for the proposed rulemaking.
