SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is issuing a license amendment to
Genzyme Biosurgery for Materials
License No. 29–23308–01, to authorize
release of its facility in Ridgefield, New
Jersey 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
Ridgefield, New Jersey facility for
unrestricted use. Genzyme Biosurgery
was authorized by NRC from December
23, 1983, to use radioactive materials for
research and development purposes at
VerDate jul<14>2003
18:52 Feb 03, 2005
Jkt 205001
the site. On June 4, 2004, Genzyme
Biosurgery requested that NRC release
the facility for unrestricted use.
Genzyme Biosurgery 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
status survey submitted by Genzyme
Biosurgery. 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 terminate the
license and release the facility for
unrestricted use. The NRC staff has
evaluated Genzyme Biosurgery’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

Reading Room at https://www.nrc.gov/
