**(a) In general** Within one year of December 22, 1987, the Secretary shall report to Congress on the potential impacts of locating a repository at the Yucca Mountain site, including the recommendations of the Secretary for mitigation of such impacts and a statement of which impacts should be dealt with by the Federal Government, which should be dealt with by the State with State resources, including the benefits payments under [section 10173a of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section10173a&num=0&edition=prelim), and which should be a joint Federal-State responsibility. The report under this subsection shall include the analysis of the Secretary of the authorities available to mitigate these impacts and the appropriate sources of funds for such mitigation.
**(b) Impacts to be considered** Potential impacts to be addressed in the report under this 11 So in original. The word “this” probably should not appear. subsection (a) shall include impacts on—
(1) education, including facilities and personnel for elementary and secondary schools, community colleges, vocational and technical schools and universities;
(2) public health, including the facilities and personnel for treatment and distribution of water, the treatment of sewage, the control of pests and the disposal of solid waste;

After the MRS Commission submits its report to the Congress under [section 10163 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section10163&num=0&edition=prelim), the Secretary may conduct a survey and evaluation of potentially suitable sites for a monitored retrievable storage facility. In conducting such survey and evaluation, the Secretary shall consider the extent to which siting a monitored retrievable storage facility at each site surveyed would—
(1) enhance the reliability and flexibility of the system for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste established under this chapter;
(2) minimize the impacts of transportation and handling of such fuel and waste;
(3) provide for public confidence in the ability of such system to safely dispose of the fuel and waste;
(4) impose minimal adverse effects on the local community and the local environment;
(5) provide a high probability that the facility will meet applicable environmental, health, and safety requirements in a timely fashion;
(6) provide such other benefits to the system for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste as the Secretary deems appropriate; and
(7) unduly burden a State in which significant volumes of high-level radioactive waste resulting from atomic energy defense activities are stored.
