Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuing a license termination of Material License No. 21–24836–01 issued to Michigan Biotechnology Institute (the licensee), to authorize release of its Lansing 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 terminate Byproduct Material License No. 21–24836–01 issued to Michigan Biotechnology Institute, and release its Lansing, Michigan facility for unrestricted use. The NRC’s license authorized the licensee to use labeled compounds such as hydrogen-3, carbon14, phosphorus-32, sulfur-35, etc. for research and development. On March 7, 2006, the licensee submitted a license termination request to release its Lansing facility for unrestricted use. The licensee has conducted surveys of the facility and provided information to the NRC to demonstrate that the site meets E:\FR\FM\21AUN1.SGM 21AUN1 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 161 / Monday, August 21, 2006 / Notices 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. hsrobinson on PROD1PC72 with NOTICES IV.

ACTION: Request for comment. AGENCY: SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has prepared a model safety evaluation (SE) relating to the modification of shutdown testing requirements in technical specifications (TS) for Boiling Water Reactors (BWR). The NRC staff has also prepared a model no-significant-hazards-consideration (NSHC) determination relating to this matter. The purpose of these models is to permit the NRC to efficiently process amendments that propose to modify LCO 3.10.1 that would allow control rod scram time testing to be performed concurrently with inservice leak and hydrostatic testing. Licensees of nuclear power reactors to which the models apply could then request amendments, confirming the applicability of the SE and NSHC determination to their reactors. The NRC staff is requesting comment on the model SE and model NSHC determination prior to announcing their availability for referencing in license amendment applications. DATES: The comment period expires September 20, 2006. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date. ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted either electronically or via U.S. mail.

The consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP) is intended to improve the efficiency of NRC licensing processes by processing proposed changes to the standard technical specifications (STS) in a manner that supports subsequent license amendment applications. The CLIIP includes an opportunity for the public to comment on a proposed change to the STS after a preliminary assessment by the NRC staff and a finding that the change will likely be offered for adoption by licensees. This notice solicits comment on a proposal to modify LCO 3.10.1 that would allow control rod scram time testing to be performed concurrently with inservice leak and hydrostatic testing. The CLIIP directs the NRC staff to evaluate any comments received for a proposed change to the STS and to either reconsider the change or announce the availability of the change for adoption by licensees. This notice involves the modification of LCO 3.10.1 that would allow control rod scram time testing to be performed concurrently with inservice leak and hydrostatic testing. This change was proposed for incorporation into the standard technical specifications by the owners groups participants in the Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) and is designated TSTF–484. TSTF–484 can be viewed on the NRC’s Web page utilizing the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuing 
a license termination of Material License No. 21-24836-01 issued to 
Michigan Biotechnology Institute (the licensee), to authorize release 
of its Lansing 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 terminate Byproduct 
Material License No. 21-24836-01 issued to Michigan Biotechnology 
Institute, and release its Lansing, Michigan facility for unrestricted 
use. The NRC's license authorized the licensee to use labeled compounds 
such as hydrogen-3, carbon-14, phosphorus-32, sulfur-35, etc. for 
research and development. On March 7, 2006, the licensee submitted a 
license termination request to release its Lansing facility for 
unrestricted use. The licensee has conducted surveys of the facility 
and provided information to the NRC to demonstrate that the site meets

[[Page 48561]]

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.
