Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment a draft guide in the agency’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. The draft regulatory guide (DG), titled, ‘‘Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants,’’ is temporarily identified by its task number, DG–1218, which should be mentioned in all related correspondence. DG–1218 is the proposed Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.205. DG–1218 provides guidance for use in complying with the requirements that the NRC has promulgated for riskinformed, performance-based fire protection programs (FPPs) that comply with Title 10, section 50.48(c), of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.48(c)) and the referenced 2001 Edition of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard, NFPA E:\FR\FM\25MRN1.SGM 25MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 56 / Wednesday, March 25, 2009 / Notices PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES 805, ‘‘Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light-Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants.’’ In accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(a), each operating nuclear power plant must have an FPP that satisfies General Design Criterion (GDC) 3, ‘‘Fire Protection,’’ of Appendix A, ‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ to 10 CFR part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities.’’ In addition, plants that were licensed to operate before January 1, 1979, must meet the requirements of Appendix R, ‘‘Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979,’’ to 10 CFR part 50, except to the extent provided for in 10 CFR 50.48(b).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering the issuance of an amendment to terminate NRC Byproduct Materials License No. 21–26519–01, which is held by Aastrom Biosciences (licensee). The issuance of the amendment would authorize the PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12911 unrestricted release of the licensee’s facility located at 24 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive, Lobby K, Domino’s Farm, Ann Arbor, Michigan (the Facility). The NRC has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) in support of this proposed action in accordance with the requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 51 (10 CFR part 51). Based on the EA, the NRC has concluded that a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is appropriate with respect to the proposed action. The amendment will be issued to the licensee following the publication of this FONSI and EA in the Federal Register. II. Environmental Assessment Identification of Proposed Action The proposed action would approve the licensee’s termination amendment request dated September 30, 2008, (ML090210643), and approve release of the Facility for unrestricted use in accordance with 10 CFR part 20, subpart E. The licensee operated a research laboratory in a 20,000 square foot leased space. License No. 21–26519–01 was issued on September 10, 1993, pursuant to 10 CFR part 30, and has been amended periodically since that time. This license authorized the use of unsealed byproduct materials for conducting a variety of research and development applications on laboratory bench tops and in hoods. The Facility is located in a mixed residential, agricultural and commercial area, and a former authorized location of use there was previously released by the NRC for unrestricted use. The licensee ceased licensed activities in April 2007 and Lobby K was used to store standard sources and a cell harvester. The licensee did not perform research activities involving licensed material in Lobby K. Based on the Licensee’s historical knowledge of the site and the conditions of the facility, the licensee determined that only routine decontamination activities, in accordance with their NRC approved, operating radiation safety procedures, were required. The licensee was not required to submit a decommissioning plan to the NRC because worker cleanup activities and procedures are consistent with those approved for routine operations. The licensee submitted a license termination request in a letter dated September 30, 2008, (ML090210643). The licensee submitted a final status survey report to the NRC on October 31, 2008, (ML083080216), and additional correspondence dated February 11, 2009, (ML090500353), which demonstrates that the Lobby K E:\FR\FM\25MRN1.SGM 25MRN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 
comment a draft guide in the agency's ``Regulatory Guide'' series. This 
series was developed to describe and make available to the public such 
information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for 
implementing specific parts of the NRC's regulations, techniques that 
the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, 
and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits 
and licenses.
    The draft regulatory guide (DG), titled, ``Risk-Informed, 
Performance-Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear 
Power Plants,'' is temporarily identified by its task number, DG-1218, 
which should be mentioned in all related correspondence. DG-1218 is the 
proposed Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.205.
    DG-1218 provides guidance for use in complying with the 
requirements that the NRC has promulgated for risk-informed, 
performance-based fire protection programs (FPPs) that comply with 
Title 10, section 50.48(c), of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 
50.48(c)) and the referenced 2001 Edition of the National Fire 
Protection Association (NFPA) standard, NFPA

805, ``Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light-Water 
Reactor Electric Generating Plants.''
    In accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(a), each operating nuclear power 
plant must have an FPP that satisfies General Design Criterion (GDC) 3, 
``Fire Protection,'' of Appendix A, ``General Design Criteria for 
Nuclear Power Plants,'' to 10 CFR part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of 
Production and Utilization Facilities.'' In addition, plants that were 
licensed to operate before January 1, 1979, must meet the requirements 
of Appendix R, ``Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities 
Operating Prior to January 1, 1979,'' to 10 CFR part 50, except to the 
extent provided for in 10 CFR 50.48(b). Plants licensed to operate 
after January 1, 1979, are required to comply with 10 CFR 50.48(a), as 
well as any plant-specific fire protection license conditions and 
technical specifications.
