 Subpart N--Conditional Exemption for Low-Level Mixed Waste Storage and 
                                Disposal
 
Sec. 266.255  When is your LLMW no longer eligible for the storage and 
treatment conditional exemption?

    (a) When your LLMW has met the requirements of your NRC or NRC 
Agreement State license for decay-in-storage and can be disposed of as 
non-radioactive waste, then the conditional exemption for storage no 
longer applies. On that date your waste is subject to hazardous waste 
regulation under the relevant sections of 40 CFR parts 260 through 271, 
and the time period for accumulation of a hazardous waste as specified 
in 40 CFR 262.34 begins.
    (b) When your conditionally exempt LLMW, which has been generated 
and stored under a single NRC or NRC Agreement State license number, is 
removed from storage, it is no longer eligible for the storage and 
treatment exemption. However, your waste may be eligible for the 
transportation and disposal conditional exemption at Sec. 266.305.
