SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is issuing a license amendment to
the Department of Health and Human
Services for Materials License No. 19–
07538–05, to authorize release of its
facility in Kensington, Maryland for
unrestricted use. NRC has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) in
support of this action in accordance
with the requirements of 10 CFR Part
51. Based on the EA, the NRC has
concluded that a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) is
appropriate. The amendment will be
issued following the publication of this
Notice.
II. EA Summary
The purpose of the action is to
authorize the release of the licensee’s
Kensington, Maryland facility for
unrestricted use. The Department of
Health and Human Services was
authorized by NRC from May 29,1990,
to use radioactive materials for research
and development purposes at the site.
On September 21, 2004, the Department
of Health and Human Services
requested that NRC release the facility
for unrestricted use. The Department of
Health and Human Services has
conducted surveys of the facility and
provided information to the NRC to
demonstrate that the site meets the
license termination criteria in Subpart E
of 10 CFR Part 20 for unrestricted use.
The NRC staff has prepared an EA in
support of the license amendment. The
facility was remediated and surveyed
prior to the licensee requesting the
license amendment. The NRC staff has
reviewed the information and final
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
4889
status survey submitted by the
Department of Health and Human
Services. Based on its review, the staff
has determined that there are no
additional remediation activities
necessary to complete the proposed
action. Therefore, the staff considered
the impact of the residual radioactivity
at the facility and concluded that since
the residual radioactivity meets the
requirements in Subpart E of 10 CFR
Part 20, a Finding of No Significant
Impact is appropriate.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The staff has prepared the EA
(summarized above) in support of the
license amendment to release the
facility for unrestricted use. The NRC
staff has evaluated the Department of
Health and Human Services’s request
and the results of the surveys and has
concluded that the completed action
complies with the criteria in Subpart E
of 10 CFR Part 20. The staff has found
that the environmental impacts from the
action are bounded by the impacts
evaluated by NUREG–1496, Volumes 1–
3, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact
Statement in Support of Rulemaking on
Radiological Criteria for License
Termination of NRC-Licensed Facilities’
(ML042310492, ML042320379, and
ML042330385). On the basis of the EA,
the NRC has concluded that the
environmental impacts from the action
are expected to be insignificant and has
determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
action.
IV. Further Information
Documents related to this action,
including the application for the license
amendment and supporting
documentation, are available
