eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for
residues of carbon black.
DATES: This regulation is effective August 12, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before October 13, 2009,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40

NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL REVIEW BOARD
Notice of Meeting
Board meeting: September 23, 2009-National Harbor, MD; the U.S.
Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board will meet to discuss the
implications of fuel-cycle technologies for nuclear waste management
and disposal.
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 at National Harbor, Maryland, on
Wednesday, September 23, 2009, to discuss the implications of
alternative technological strategies for the management and disposal of
spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The Board will
receive an update on the Fuel Cycle Study being conducted at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a panel of industry
representatives will discuss their proposals to the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) for recycling, reprocessing, and burning spent nuclear
fuel in fast reactors. The Board also has invited a representative of
the Nuclear Energy Agency to present an overview of efforts in other
countries to manage and dispose of nuclear waste.
Information presented at the meeting will be used by the Board as
part of its ongoing effort to inform Congress, the Secretary of Energy,
and a blue-ribbon commission of technical issues and questions that
should be addressed related to waste-management alternatives. The
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987 requires the Board to
conduct an independent review of the technical and scientific validity
of DOE activities related to nuclear waste management, including
transporting, packaging, and disposing of spent nuclear fuel and high-
level radioactive waste.
The Board meeting will be held at the Gaylord Hotel; 201 Waterfront
