Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuing a license amendment of Material License No. 22–26786–01 issued to Parker Hughes Institute (the licensee), to authorize release of its Bays 12 and 13 at 2657 Patton Road facility for unrestricted use. The NRC staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) in support of this amendment 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 proposed action is to amend the licensee’s byproduct material license and release its Bays 12 and 13 at 2657 Patton Road facility for unrestricted use. On April 18, 1997, the Atomic Energy Commission authorized the licensee to conduct the radiological operations. The primary radioactive materials used at 2657 Patton Road facility were hydrogen-3, carbon-14, phosphorus-32, phosphorus-33, sulfur35, and iodine-125. On September 27, 2005, the licensee submitted a license PO 00000 Frm 00116 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 70897 amendment request to amend its license to release its Bays 12 and 13 at 2657 Patton Road facility for unrestricted use. The licensee has conducted surveys of the facility and provided information to the NRC to demonstrate that the site meets the license termination criteria in 10 CFR 20.1402, ‘‘Radiological Criteria for Unrestricted Use.’’ The staff has examined the licensee’s request and the information provided in support of its request, including the surveys performed to demonstrate compliance with the release criteria. The staff has found that the radiological environmental impacts from the proposed action are bounded by the impacts evaluated in the ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact Statement in Support of Rulemaking on Radiological Criteria for License Termination of NRCLicensed Facilities’’ (NUREG–1496). Additionally, no non-radiological or cumulative impacts were identified. Based on its review, the staff has determined that there are no additional remediation activities necessary to complete the proposed action and a Finding of No Significant Impact is appropriate. III. Finding of No Significant Impact On the basis of the EA, the NRC concluded that there are no significant environmental impacts from the proposed amendment and determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuing 
a license amendment of Material License No. 22-26786-01 issued to 
Parker Hughes Institute (the licensee), to authorize release of its 
Bays 12 and 13 at 2657 Patton Road facility for unrestricted use.
    The NRC staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) in 
support of this amendment 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 proposed action is to amend the licensee's 
byproduct material license and release its Bays 12 and 13 at 2657 
Patton Road facility for unrestricted use. On April 18, 1997, the 
Atomic Energy Commission authorized the licensee to conduct the 
radiological operations. The primary radioactive materials used at 2657 
Patton Road facility were hydrogen-3, carbon-14, phosphorus-32, 
phosphorus-33, sulfur-35, and iodine-125. On September 27, 2005, the 
licensee submitted a license amendment request to amend its license to 
release its Bays 12 and 13 at 2657 Patton Road facility for 
unrestricted use. The licensee has conducted surveys of the facility 
and provided information to the NRC to demonstrate that the site meets 
the license termination criteria in 10 CFR 20.1402, ``Radiological 
Criteria for Unrestricted Use.''
    The staff has examined the licensee's request and the information 
provided in support of its request, including the surveys performed to 
demonstrate compliance with the release criteria. The staff has found 
that the radiological environmental impacts from the proposed action 
are bounded by the impacts evaluated in the ``Generic Environmental 
Impact Statement in Support of Rulemaking on Radiological Criteria for 
License Termination of NRC-Licensed Facilities'' (NUREG-1496). 
Additionally, no non-radiological or cumulative impacts were 
identified. Based on its review, the staff has determined that there 
are no additional remediation activities necessary to complete the 
proposed action and a Finding of No Significant Impact is appropriate.

III. Finding of No Significant Impact

    On the basis of the EA, the NRC concluded that there are no 
significant environmental impacts from the proposed amendment and 
determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement.
