Summary
The WIPP Economic Assistance Assurance Act of 2026 amends the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Land Withdrawal Act to keep federal economic assistance payments flowing beyond the original 14‑year limit. Payments will continue each fiscal year until the year that transuranic waste shipments to or from WIPP are terminated. This ensures the plant has financial support for the full duration of its operational life.
