SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is considering issuing a license
amendment to Conopco, Inc., d.b.a.
Unilever Research and Development
(Unilever), for Materials License No. 29–
00304–02, 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 the licensee’s
Edgewater, New Jersey, facility for
unrestricted use. Unilever was
authorized by NRC from 1956 to use
radioactive materials for research and
development purposes at the site. On
May 23, 2005, Unilever requested that
NRC release the facility for unrestricted
use. Unilever 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 Unilever.
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 Unilever’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
PO 00000
Frm 00055

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.

including the application for the license
amendment and supporting
documentation, are available

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[Release No. 34–52633; File No. SR–Amex–
2005–093]
Self-Regulatory Organizations;
American Stock Exchange LLC; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness
of Proposed Rule Change To Eliminate
Rule 891 Relating to Transfer Agents
October 18, 2005.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’),1 notice is hereby given that on
September 19, 2005, American Stock
Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change described in Items I, II, and III
below, which items have been prepared
primarily by Amex. Amex has
designated the proposed rule change as
constituting a stated policy, practice, or
interpretation with respect to the
meaning, administration, or
enforcement of an existing rule,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the
Act,2 which renders the proposal
effective upon filing with the
Commission. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change
from interested parties.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to eliminate Amex’s Rule 891
relating to obsolete transfer agent
requirements.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
Amex included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. Amex has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B),

Jkt 208001
and (C) below, of the most significant
aspects of these statements.3
(A) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
On March 17, 2000, Amex amended
its Company Guide to eliminate the
qualification of transfer agents,
registrars, and bond trustees.4 Amex
believed that the Commission’s rules
governing transfer agents made Amex’s
rules unnecessary or inappropriate.
However, at that time Amex did not
eliminate transfer agent requirements in
its rules.
The purpose of this filing is to
conform Amex’s rules to the changes
made to the Company Guide. Rule 891
of Amex’s rules currently lists the
requirements to qualify as a transfer
agent for securities listed on Amex,
which includes among other things a
requirement to maintain office facilities
that are located south of Chambers
Street in the Borough of Manhattan, City
of New York, that allow the issuer to
receive and redeliver securities. In light
of the amendments to the Company
Guide, Amex has determined that Rule
891 is obsolete and no longer in use and
proposes to eliminate that Rule 891.
Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act
requires the Amex rules be designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with
respect to, and facilitating transactions
in securities, to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. Amex
believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Exchange Act 5 in general and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act 6 and the rules and regulations
thereunder because it makes consistent
the requirements of the Company Guide
with the requirements in Amex rules
and further clarifies the compliance
obligations of transfer agents acting for
issuers listed on Amex.
3 The Commission has modified the text of the
summaries prepared by the Amex.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
Amex does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
(C) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments relating to the
proposed rule change have been
solicited or received. Amex will notify
the Commission of any written
comments received by Amex.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective upon filing pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act 7 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(1) 8 thereunder because it
constitutes a stated policy, practice, or
interpretation with respect to the
meaning, administration, or
enforcement of an existing rule. At any
time within sixty days of the filing of
such proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate
such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors,
or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.
Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
