approval. Each such decision shall be based upon the administrative
record for the respective action or proceeding.
5. In any action or proceeding of the department or any other state
agency on any application for a required state license, permit, or other
approval for any low-level radioactive waste management facilities,
including any related draft or final environmental impact statement
proposed or submitted in connection with such application, the following
