SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Purpose of the Board: The purpose of the Board is to make 
recommendations to DOE and its regulators in the areas of environmental 
restoration, waste management, and related activities.

Tentative Agenda:

    1. The Board will host a presentation on the National Environmental 
Policy Act (NEPA). Many actions at Rocky Flats, including the upcoming 
interim storage of transuranic waste, fall under NEPA requirements.
    2. The Board will continue to learn about and discuss storage plans 
for transuranic waste at Rocky Flats. The site must now make interim 
storage decisions for these wastes, as lawsuits have delayed the 
opening of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).
    3. Other Board business will be conducted as necessary.

statements may be filed with the Committee either before or after the
