AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Land Withdrawal Act, which provides economic assistance payments related to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), a federal site that stores transuranic nuclear waste. Current law authorizes these payments for 14 fiscal years. The bill removes the 14-year limit and instead continues the payments each fiscal year through the year in which transuranic waste shipments to or from WIPP end. It also renames the relevant subsection heading from "14-year Authorization" to "In General."
