Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 25, 2007 / Notices
Regarding the NJDEP’s second
comment above, the NRC staff
recognizes that the State of New Jersey
has established a 15 millirem per year
standard (under NJDEP’s regulations at
N.J.A.C. 7:28–12). The NRC has
previously advised the NJDEP that these
regulations raise preemption concerns
[ML003763858]. States are preempted
from regulating NRC-licensed materials
for the purposes of radiation protection
unless they enter into a formal
agreement with the NRC. To date, New
Jersey has not done so. Moreover, as
indicated above, the Licensee has
developed DCGLs acceptable to the NRC
which support the 25 millirem per year
standard set forth in 10 CFR 20.1402,
and the staff must implement these
DCGLs for the purpose of evaluating the
proposed action.
The NRC staff has further 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
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.
IV. Further Information
Documents related to this action,
including the application for license
amendment and supporting
documentation, are available

Reading Room at https://www.nrc.gov/
