EPA RESPONSIBILITIES. 1. If the NRC requests EPA’s consultation on a decommissioning plan or license termination plan, EPA will provide, within 90 days of NRC’s notice to EPA, written notification of its views on the matter. 2. Consistent with this MOU, EPA agrees to a policy of deferral to NRC decision making on decommissioning without the need for consultation on sites other than those presenting the circumstances described in Sections V.C.2 and V.C. 3. The agencies will consult with each other pursuant to the provisions of this MOU with respect to those sites presenting the circumstances described in Sections V.C.2 and V.C.3. EPA does not expect to undertake CERCLA actions related to radioactive contamination at a site that has been decommissioned in compliance with the NRC’s standards, including a site addressed under Section V.C.2, despite the agencies decision to engage in consultation on such sites. EPA’s deferral policy, and its expectation of not taking CERCLA action, continues to apply to sites that are covered under Section V.C.2.

EPA RESPONSIBILITIES. A. Support for Emission Reduction Efforts: EPA will (1) participate in and support conferences to share information on emission reduction technologies; (2) address regulatory barriers that may impede voluntary, worldwide emission reduction strategies; (3) and recognize SIA and the participating companies for their emission reduction commitment, technical leadership, and achievements over time. B. Data Quality: EPA will work with SIA and the IPCC to ensure that the IPCC Good Practice Inventory Tier 2 Methods for the Semiconductor Industry are reliable, accurate, and practical. EPA will also work with SIA to develop, if possible, a data verification method that can be used to self-certify emissions reductions. Upon request by SIA or a participating company, EPA will also work with individual companies to record and verify PFC emissions reductions. In all cases, EPA will work to ensure that emissions are evaluated and reported in such a way as to protect confidential business information. The Partners expect that companies that possess high quality emission reduction data will be in a preferred position to participate in any future program that provides appropriate rewards and recognition for early action. C. International Harmonization: EPA will endeavor to support the efforts of the WSC to reduce global PFC emission reductions in the semiconductor industry worldwide, among other things by working with other governments to encourage the use of voluntary agreements similar to this MOU. D. EPA acknowledges the benefits to the environment of the voluntary actions to reduce PFC emissions by SIA and the participating companies. EPA also acknowledges the significant contributions that SIA and the participating companies have made to advance the technical understanding of PFC emissions from semiconductor manufacture and towards the development and adoption of emission reduction methods. EPA expects to continue to work cooperatively with SIA and the participating companies, as well as other stakeholders, on any future activities relating to these emissions, with full recognition of the voluntary contributions of SIA and the participating companies.

Approval to obligate amounts in excess of the $50,000 ceiling must be obtained from: The USCG will modify, as necessary, any existing contracts to reflect each ceiling increase. Certified copies of the contract modification must be submitted to the EPA paying office.
