Karas, Division of Regulatory Improvement Programs, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 (telephone 301-415-3711). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nuclear power reactor licensees are required, per 10 CFR 50.75, to adjust annually the estimated decommissioning costs of their nuclear facilities in order to ensure adequate funds are available for decommissioning. The regulation references NUREG-1307 as the appropriate source for obtaining the adjustment factor for waste burial/disposition costs; this Revision 10 of NUREG-1307 provides the current waste burial costs at the Washington [[Page 69256]] and South Carolina disposal sites. In addition, this revision provides costs for low-level radioactive waste disposition using waste vendors. Licensees can factor these numbers into the adjustment formula, as specified in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2), to determine the minimum decommissioning fund requirement for their nuclear facilities. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 8th day of November 2002. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Dennis P. Allison, Acting Section Chief, Policy and Rulemaking Program--Section B, Division of Regulatory Improvement Programs, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
