SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuing a license amendment to Purdue Pharma, L.P. for Materials License No. 29–30698–01, to authorize release of its facility in Edgewater, 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. II. EA Summary The purpose of the proposed action is to authorize the release of two sections of the licensee’s Cranbury, New Jersey, facility for unrestricted use. Purdue Pharma, L.P. was authorized by NRC from 2002 to use radioactive materials for research and development purposes at the site. On April 21, 2005, Purdue Pharma, L.P. requested that NRC release two sections of the facility for unrestricted use. Purdue Pharma, L.P. has conducted surveys of the two sections 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 two sections of the facility were remediated and surveyed prior to the licensee requesting the license amendment. The NRC staff has reviewed the information and final status survey submitted by Purdue Pharma, L.P. Based on its review, the staff has determined that there are no additional remediation activities E:\FR\FM\13OCN1.SGM 13OCN1 59780 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 197 / Thursday, October 13, 2005 / Notices 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 Purdue Pharma, L.P.’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 radiological 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). Additionally, no non-radiological or cumulative impacts were identified. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuing a 
license amendment to Purdue Pharma, L.P. for Materials License No. 29-
30698-01, to authorize release of its facility in Edgewater, 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.

II. EA Summary

    The purpose of the proposed action is to authorize the release of 
two sections of the licensee's Cranbury, New Jersey, facility for 
unrestricted use. Purdue Pharma, L.P. was authorized by NRC from 2002 
to use radioactive materials for research and development purposes at 
the site. On April 21, 2005, Purdue Pharma, L.P. requested that NRC 
release two sections of the facility for unrestricted use. Purdue 
Pharma, L.P. has conducted surveys of the two sections 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 two sections of the facility were remediated and 
surveyed prior to the licensee requesting the license amendment. The 
NRC staff has reviewed the information and final status survey 
submitted by Purdue Pharma, L.P. 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 Purdue Pharma, L.P.'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 radiological 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). 
Additionally, no non-radiological or cumulative impacts were 
identified. 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.
