SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 22, 1995, DOE issued a Notice of Availability (60 FR
49264)
[[Page 54671]]
for the Draft Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact
Statement. The draft PEIS evaluates waste management strategies and
siting alternatives for each of five waste types: high-level waste;
transuranic waste; low-level waste; low-level mixed waste; and
hazardous waste. In the published notice, public comment was invited on
the draft PEIS during a 90-day public comment period, which opened on
September 22, 1995 and ends on December 21, 1995.
The notice included a schedule of public hearings to be held during
this period. These hearings feature video conferencing to enhance
dialog between stakeholders at various locations around the nation and
DOE officials in Washington, D.C. Since publication of the September
22, 1995 notice, efforts to make the hearings even more accessible to
the public have warranted certain changes in locations and session
times for hearings occuring in Illinois, New Mexico, New York, Oregon
and Washington. The revised schedule of all future hearings is provided
below.
