NRC forms 542 and 542A are
standardized forms designed to meet the DOT, NRC and State
requirements. The forms were developed by NRC at the request of
low-level waste (LLW) industry grougs. The forms are completed by
waste collectors or processors, contains information which
facilitates tracking the identity of the waste generator. Tracking

States and Compacts to know the original generators of LLW, and
ensure that waste is disposed of in the appropriate
compact.
