(b) Pay for the cost of inspection, enforcement, and surveillance activities at the r ^ o n a l disposal facility. (c) Assure that charges are assessed without discrimination as to the party state of origin. (4) Submit an annual report to the Commission on the status of the r ^ o n a l disposal facility including projections of the facility's anticipated ^ture capacity. (5) The host state and the operator shall notify the Commission immediately upon the occurrence of any event which could cause a possible temporary or permanent closure of a r ^ o n a l disposal facility. (f) Each party state is subject to the following duties and authority: (1) To the extent authorized by federal law, each party state shall develop and enforce procedures requiring low-level radioactive waste shipments originating within its borders and destined for a r ^ o n a l disposal facility to conform to packaging and transportation requirements and regulations. These procedures shall include, but are not limited to, all of the following requirements: (a) Periodic inspections of packaging and shipping practices. (b) Periodic inspections of low-level radioactive waste containers while in the custody of transporters. (c) Appropriate enforcement actions with respects to violations.
