Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 11, 2006 / Notices I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering the issuance of a license amendment to Multipixel Systems, Inc. for Materials License No. 45–25288–01, to authorize release of its facility in Ramsey, New Jersey for unrestricted use. NRC has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) in support of this proposed 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 proposed action is to authorize the release of the licensee’s Ramsey, New Jersey facility for unrestricted use. Multipixel Systems, Inc. was authorized by NRC from 1999 to use radioactive materials for research and development and instrument calibration purposes at the site. On November 23, 2005, Multipixel Systems, Inc. requested that NRC release the facility for unrestricted use. Multipixel Systems, Inc. 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 release. 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 Multipixel Systems, Inc. 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. wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES 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 Multipixel Systems, Inc.’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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:37 Apr 10, 2006 Jkt 208001 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 there are no significant environmental impacts from the proposed action, and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering the 
issuance of a license amendment to Neose Technology, Inc. for Materials 
License No. 37-28751-01, to authorize release of its facility in 
Horsham, Pennsylvania for unrestricted use. NRC has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) in support of this proposed 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 proposed action is to authorize the release of 
the licensee's Horsham, Pennsylvania facility for unrestricted use. 
Neose Technology, Inc. was authorized by NRC from 1992 to use 
radioactive materials for research and development purposes at the 
site. On August 1, 2005, Neose Technology, Inc. requested that NRC 
release the facility for unrestricted use. Neose Technology, Inc. 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 release.
    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 Neose Technology, 
Inc. Based on its review, the staff has determined that there are no 
additional remediation activities

[[Page 18366]]

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 Neose Technology, Inc.'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 there are no significant environmental 
impacts from the proposed action, and has determined not to prepare an 
environmental impact statement for the proposed action.
