Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
Due to the largely administrative
nature of the proposed action, its
environmental impacts are small.
Therefore, the only alternative the staff
considered is the no-action alternative,
under which the staff would leave
things as they are by simply denying the
amendment request. This no-action
alternative is not feasible because it
conflicts with 10 CFR 30.36(d),
requiring that decommissioning of
byproduct material facilities be
completed and approved by the NRC
after licensed activities cease. The
NRC’s analysis of the Licensee’s final
status survey data confirmed that the
Facility meets the requirements of 10
CFR 20.1402 for unrestricted release and
for license termination. Additionally,
denying the amendment request would
result in no change in current
environmental impacts. The
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and the no-action alternative are
therefore similar, and the no-action
alternative is accordingly not further
considered.

Conclusion
The NRC staff has concluded that the
proposed action is consistent with the
NRC’s unrestricted release criteria
specified in 10 CFR 20.1402. Because
the proposed action will not
significantly impact the quality of the
human environment, the NRC staff
concludes that the proposed action is
the preferred alternative.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
NRC provided a draft of this
Environmental Assessment to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s
Department of Environmental Protection
for review on December 18, 2006. On
December 21, 2006, the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania responded by e-mail.
The Commonwealth agreed with the
conclusions of the EA, and otherwise
had no comments.
The NRC staff has determined that the
proposed action is of a procedural
nature, and will not affect listed species
or critical habitat. Therefore, no further
consultation is required under Section 7
of the Endangered Species Act. The
NRC staff has also determined that the
proposed action is not the type of
activity that has the potential to cause
effects on historic properties. Therefore,
no further consultation is required
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC staff has prepared this EA in
support of the proposed action. On the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:52 Jan 17, 2007
Jkt 211001
2315
basis of this EA, the NRC finds that
there are no significant environmental
impacts from the proposed action, and
that preparation of an environmental
impact statement is not warranted.
Accordingly, the NRC has determined
that a Finding of No Significant Impact
is appropriate.

Comments From the Public on the
2005 WTO Ministerial Decision on
Duty-Free Quota-Free Market Access

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Trade Policy Staff
Committee (TPSC) is requesting the
public to submit written comments on
considerations relating to the Decision
that Members adopted at the Sixth
Ministerial Conference of the World
Trade Organization (WTO) in December
2005 on duty-free, quota-free (DFQF)
market access for the least-developed
countries (LDCs). The TPSC is seeking
comments from the public on to the full
range of issues that may affect
implementation of this Decision.
DATES: Comments are due by March 15,
2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
General inquiries should be made to the
USTR Office of WTO and Multilateral
Affairs at (202) 395–6843; calls on
individual subjects will be transferred
as appropriate. Procedural inquiries
concerning the public comment process
should be directed to Gloria Blue,
Executive Secretary, Trade Policy Staff
Committee, Office of the U.S. Trade
Representative (USTR), (202) 395–3475.
Further information on the WTO,
including the declarations, decisions
referred to in this notice, can be
obtained via the Internet at the WTO
Web site, https://www.wto.org, and/or
the USTR Web site, https://www.ustr.gov.
The 2005 President’s Annual Report on
the Trade Agreements Program, which
is available on the USTR Web site,
contains extensive information on the
WTO, the Sixth WTO Ministerial
Conference in Hong Kong, China, and
the status of work in the WTO.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Duty-Free Quota-Free Market Access:
The TPSC calls attention to the decision
adopted at the Sixth Ministerial
Conference of the WTO in December
2005 on duty-free, quota-free (DFQF)
market access for LDCs. The DFQF
decision is contained in Annex F of the
Ministerial Declaration, which can be
found at https://www.wto.org with the
document symbol ‘‘WT/MIN(05)/DEC’’.
Ministers agreed that WTO Members
would implement the DFQF initiative
coincident with the implementation of
the results of the negotiations under the
Doha Development Agenda (DDA). On a
voluntary basis, WTO Members may
also implement sooner.
Implementation of the DFQF by
relevant WTO Members is subject to
review by Members through the WTO
Committee on Trade and Development
(CTD). On May 15, 2006, the United
States submitted a paper to the CTD,
‘‘Duty-Free, Quota-Free Market Access
for the Least-Developed Countries:
Communication from the United
States’’. This paper can be found at
https://www.wto.org with the document
symbol ‘‘WT/COMTD/W/149’’. The
paper summarizes the U.S. legal and
consultative process for implementing
the DFQF decision, and outlines certain
factors and related obligations affecting
implementation. The TPSC recognizes
