| (a) Where the sole purpose of the exportation of low-level
radioactive waste is to manage or process the waste for recycling
or waste reduction and to return the waste to the party states for
disposal in the Compact Facility, party-state generators are not required
to obtain an export permit.
(b) The generator exporting such waste must, however,
file a report with the Commission no later than 10 days after the
shipment of the waste described in subsection (a) of this section.
Reports may be submitted by United Parcel Service (UPS), FedEx delivery
service, or by e-mail. A generator may satisfy the reporting requirement
by timely submitting to the Commission Forms 540 and 541 promulgated
by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, as applicable,
with supplemental data indicating the types of waste management employed
at the facility to which the waste is being shipped. Alternatively,
generator reports shall include the following information:
(1) The volume of waste exported, the type, physical
and chemical form of waste exported, the approximate radioactivity
of the waste, and the specific radionuclides contained therein;
(2) The location and name of waste processing facility
or facilities receiving and processing the waste, the type of waste
management employed at each waste management facility, and whether
the exported waste is to be mixed or commingled with waste from other
generators.
(c) When the exported waste is either returned to the
generator or shipped to the Compact Facility, the generator shall
file a report informing the Commission of the volume, physical form,
and activity of the waste returned to the party-state generator or
shipped to the Compact Facility. The generator may rely on information
provided to it by the processor who ships the waste back to the Compact
Facility when making its report.
