Sunset Advisory Commission Invites Public Input on the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission

The Sunset Advisory Commission is reviewing the mission and performance of the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission (“compact commission”) and welcomes public comments on ideas to improve its operations and services. The Texas Sunset Act requires the Sunset Commission to periodically review the compact commission and recommend changes to state law to improve the compact commission’s efficiency and effectiveness. The Legislature ultimately will decide whether to adopt Sunset’s statutory recommendations. The Sunset Commission also may adopt management directives for the compact commission that do not require statutory change.

The Sunset process has three stages. First, Sunset staff will evaluate the compact commission, seek public input, and issue a report recommending solutions to problems found. Second, the Sunset Commission will hold two public meetings: a hearing on the staff report and the agency, and a decision meeting to adopt recommendations to the Legislature based on the report and public comments. Third, the Legislature will convene in January 2023 and will consider Sunset’s statutory recommendations in a Sunset bill for the compact commission.

Here are several ways to provide comments and suggestions to Sunset staff on the compact commission’s mission, operations, and services:

  • Send an email to sunset@sunset.texas.gov
  • Submit comments online at www.sunset.texas.gov
  • Send a letter to Sunset Advisory Commission, Attn: compact commission, P.O. Box 13066, Austin, Texas 78711
  • Call (512) 463-1300 to speak to Robert Romig, project manager of the compact commission review

Please provide your comments by February 1, 2022 to ensure Sunset staff can fully consider your input while conducting their review. Comments submitted before the staff report is published in May 2022 will remain confidential.

Stay informed! Visit www.sunset.texas.gov to sign up for email alerts on the Sunset staff report and the Sunset Commission’s public meetings on the compact commission.
