(1) does not require permanent isolation in a deep geologic repository for spent fuel or high-level radioactive waste;

(3)
(A) does not exceed concentration limits for Class C low-level waste as set out in section 61.55 of title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, and will be disposed of—

have the authority to ensure that such section 274 o. is
implemented by any such State to the extent prac-
ticable during the three-year period beginning on the
date of the enactment of this Act. Nothing in this sec-
tion shall be construed to preclude the Commission or
the Administrator of the Environmental Protection
Agency from taking such action under section 275 of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 [section 2022 of this
title] as may be necessary to implement title I of this
Act [section 7911 et seq. of this title].

not require a Reorganization Plan. Second, I have con-
sistently favored funding assistance to intervenors in
regulatory proceedings. This is particularly important
in the case of nuclear safety regulation. I therefore en-
courage the Commission to include consideration of in-
tervenor funding as part of its review and upgrading of
the licensing process, as called for by the Kemeny Com-
mission. I have also requested Congress to appropriate
funds for this purpose. This activity cannot be author-
ized by a Reorganization Plan.
NO ADDED COSTS
This proposed realignment and clarification of re-
sponsibilities would not result in an increase or de-
crease of expenditures. But placing management re-
sponsibilities in the Chairman would result in greater
attention to developing and implementing nuclear safe-
ty policies and to strict enforcement of the terms of li-
censes granted by the Commission.
Each of the provisions of this proposed reorganization
would also accomplish one or more of the purposes set
forth in 5 U.S.C. 901(a). No statutory functions would be
abolished by the Plan; rather they would be consoli-
dated or reassigned in order to improve management,
delivery of services, execution of the law, and overall
operational efficiency and effectiveness of the Commis-
sion.
By Executive Order No. 12202, dated March 18, 1980 [42
U.S.C. 5848 note], I established a Nuclear Safety Over-
sight Committee to advise me of progress being made
by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the nuclear in-
dustry, and others in improving nuclear safety. I am
confident that the present Reorganization Plan, to-
gether with the other steps that have been or are being
taken by this Administration and by others, will grea
