[Paragraph about schedule for first repository.]

"DOE also included in the draft amendment information to support the Secretary of Energy's May 1986 decision to postpone sitge-specific activities directed toward identifying candidate sites for the second repository. Specifically, DOE believes that site-specific work on the second repository should be postponed unti the mid-1990s or later on the basis of curent projections of when the first repository would reach its authorized limit of 70,000 metric tons. In the absence of site-specific work, DOE plans to continue a second repository program with studies focusing on technology development."
