SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering the
issuance of a license amendment to DGI
Biotechnologies, LLC (DGI) for Materials
License No. 29–30389–01, to authorize
release of its facility in Edison, New
Jersey for unrestricted use and terminate
the license. 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.
cchase on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
II. EA Summary
The purpose of the proposed action is
to authorize the release of the licensee’s
Edison, New Jersey facility for
unrestricted use and terminate the
license. DGI was authorized by NRC
from 1997 to use radioactive materials
for research and development purposes
at the site. In 2003, DGI ceased
operations with licensed materials at the
Edison site and the DGI facility was
taken over by Antyra, Inc. (Antyra). On
September 28, 2005, Antyra requested
that NRC release the facility for
unrestricted use. Antyra 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:38 Apr 28, 2006
Jkt 208001
status survey submitted by Antyra.
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 Antyra’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.

amendment and supporting
