SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend a materials permit held under Master Byproduct Materials License No. 03–23853–01VA. The permit is held by the Department of Veterans Affairs (the Licensee), for its Veteran Affairs (VA) Medical Center located in Iowa City, Iowa. Issuance of the amendment would authorize release of Buildings 3 and 28 (the Facilities) for unrestricted use. The Licensee will continue its operation of other facilities under this permit and its master materials license. The Licensee requested this action in a letter dated March 19, 2009 (ML090910183). 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 PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Identification of Proposed Action The proposed action would approve the Licensee’s March 19, 2009, materials permit amendment request, resulting in release of the Facilities for unrestricted use. License No. 03–23853–01VA was issued on March 17, 2003, pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 30 and 35, and has been amended periodically since that time. This master license authorizes the Licensee to use byproduct materials at several Licensee facilities around the country, as authorized on a site-specific basis by permits issued by the Licensee’s National Radiation Safety Committee. Under the license, the permits authorize the use of by-product materials for various medical and veterinary purposes, and for portable gauges. Under the master materials license permit, buildings 3 and 28 were used as two research labs located at the VA Medical Center in Iowa City, IA. Building 3 is a two-story building containing 28301 gross square feet of space. Building 28 is a one-story building containing 6099 gross square feet of space. Radioactive materials were used for non-medical research starting in 1980 for Building 3 and in 1987 for Building 28. Both buildings contained research laboratories, office space, and other mechanical support areas. Building 3 additionally contained laboratory ventilation exhaust fans, chemical diffusers, and storage space. The licensee ceased licensed activities at the Facilities in the spring of 2007 and conducted a final status survey and decontamination of the facilities in August 2007. Based on the licensee’s historical knowledge of the site and the conditions of Buildings 3 and 28, 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 the NRC because worker cleanup activities and procedures are consistent with those approved for routine operations. The licensee conducted surveys of Buildings 3 and 28 and provided information to the NRC to demonstrate that Buildings 3 and 28 meet the criteria in Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 20 for unrestricted release. Need for the Proposed Action The licensee has ceased conducting licensed activities at the facilities, and E:\FR\FM\10SEN1.SGM 10SEN1
