unrestricted use.
concludes that the proposed action is
the preferred alternative.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The NRC staff reviewed the
information provided and surveys
performed by the licensee to
demonstrate that the release of the
facility is consistent with the
radiological criteria for unrestricted use
specified in 10 CFR 20.1402. Based on
its review, the staff determined that
there were no radiological impacts
associated with the proposed action
because no radiological remediation
activities were required to complete the
proposed action, and that the
radiological criteria for unrestricted use
in § 20.1402 have been met.
Based on its review, the staff
determined that the radiological
environmental impacts from the
proposed action for the Building L
facility are bounded by the ‘‘Generic
Environmental Impact Statement in
Support of Rulemaking on Radiological
Criteria for License Termination of NRCLicensed Nuclear Facilities’’ (NUREG–
1496). Additionally, no non-radiological
or cumulative impacts were identified.
Therefore, the NRC has determined that
the proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
The NRC staff has determined that the
proposed action will not affect listed
species or critical habitats. Therefore, no
further consultation is required under
Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act. Likewise, the NRC staff has
determined that the proposed action is
not a type of activity that has potential
to cause effect on historic properties.
Therefore, consultation under Section
106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act is not required.
The NRC consulted with Mr. Keith
Henke, Planner, Division of Community
and Public Health, Office of Emergency
Coordination, Department of Health and
Senior Services. Mr. Henke was
provided the draft EA for comment on
June 27, 2007. Mr. Henke responded to
the NRC by e-mail on July 2, 2007,
indicating that the State had no
additional comments for the Aptiut, Inc.
NRC Environmental Assessment for the
release of the licensee’s Building L.

Alternatives to the Proposed Action
The only alternative to the proposed
action is to take no action. Under the
no-action alternative, the licensee’s
facility would remain under an NRC
license and would not be released for
unrestricted use. Denial of the license
amendment request would result in no
change to current conditions at the
Building L facility. The no-action
alternative is not acceptable because it
is inconsistent with 10 CFR 30.36,
which requires licensees who have
ceased licensed activities in a particular
building to begin decommissioning
activities or submit a decommissioning
plan, which upon approval, will be used
to conduct decommissioning activities.
This alternative would impose an
unnecessary regulatory burden in
controlling access to the former
Building L facility, and limit potential
benefits from the future use of the
facility.
Conclusion
The NRC staff 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

II. Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the EA in support of
the proposed license amendment to
release the facility for unrestricted use,
the NRC has determined that the
proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment. Thus, the NRC has
not prepared an environmental impact
statement for the proposed action.

ACTION: Notice of Public Availability of
Agency Inventory of Activities That Are
Not Inherently Governmental and of
Activities That Are Inherently

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Activities
Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act, Public
Law 105–270, requires agencies to
develop inventories each year of
activities performed by their employees
that are not inherently governmental—
i.e., inventories of commercial activities.
The FAIR Act further requires OMB to
review the inventories in consultation
with the agencies and publish a notice
of public availability in the Federal
Register after the consultation process is
completed. In accordance with the FAIR
Act, OMB is publishing this notice to
announce the availability of inventories
from the agencies listed below. These
inventories identify both commercial
activities and activities that are
inherently governmental.

‘‘required interest rate’’) in determining

a single-employer plan’s variable-rate
premium. Pursuant to the Pension
Protection Act of 2006, for premium
payment years beginning in 2006 or
2007, the required interest rate is the
‘‘applicable percentage’’ of the annual
rate of interest determined by the
Secretary of the Treasury on amounts
invested conservatively in long-term
investment grade corporate bonds for
the month preceding the beginning of
the plan year for which premiums are
being paid (the ‘‘premium payment
year’’).
On February 2, 2007 (at 72 FR 4955),
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
published final regulations containing
updated mortality tables for determining
current liability under section 412(l)(7)
of the Code and section 302(d)(7) of
ERISA for plan years beginning on or
after January 1, 2007. As a result, in
accordance with section
4006(a)(3)(E)(iii)(II) of ERISA, the
‘‘applicable percentage’’ to be used in
determining the required interest rate
for plan years beginning in 2007 is 100
percent.
The required interest rate to be used
in determining variable-rate premiums
for premium payment years beginning
in July 2007 is 6.32 percent (i.e., 100
percent of the 6.32 percent composite
corporate bond rate for June 2007 as
determined by the Treasury).
