Board Meeting: Technical Lessons Gained From High-Level Nuclear
Waste Disposal Efforts

    Pursuant to its authority under section 5051 of Public Law 100-203,
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear Waste
Technical Review Board will meet in Dulles, Virginia, on October 26,
2010, to discuss technical aspects of the U.S. Department of Energy's
(DOE) activities over the last 20 years related to managing and
disposing of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The
Board will consider technical lessons that can be gained from those
experiences that may be useful in informing future waste management and
disposal efforts.
    Former managers, contractors, and scientists associated with the
Yucca Mountain program have been invited to discuss their experiences
at the meeting. The Board also has invited representatives from
affected units of governments in Nevada to provide their perspectives
on technical oversight, and representatives from several countries with
nuclear waste programs have been invited to discuss their own programs
and their views of the U.S. experience to date.
    The Board meeting will be held at the Marriott Washington Dulles
Airport, 45020 Aviation Drive, Dulles, VA 20166; (tel.) 703-471-9500,

on technical issues and to review the technical validity of DOE
activities related to implementing the Nuclear Waste Policy Act. Board
members are experts in their fields and are appointed to the Board by

Reorganization of Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement;
Office of Natural Resources Revenue; Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On May 19, 2010, the Secretary of the Interior separated the
responsibilities previously performed by the former Minerals Management
Service (MMS) and reassigned those responsibilities to three separate
organizations. As part of this reorganization, the Secretary renamed
MMS's Minerals Revenue Management Program (MRM) the Office of Natural
Resources Revenue (ONRR) and directed that ONRR transition to the
Office of the Assistant Secretary--Policy, Management and Budget (PMB).
This change requires reorganization of title 30 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (30 CFR). This direct final rule amends chapter II in 30
CFR, establishes a new chapter XII in 30 CFR, removes certain
regulations from chapter II, and recodifies them in the new chapter
XII.

DATES: This rule is effective on October 1, 2010, without further
action, unless substantive adverse comment is received by November 3,
2010. If substantive adverse comment is received that cannot be
addressed, Department of the Interior will publish a timely amendment
of the rule in the Federal Register.
