(c) The Plan does not pay any real estate commissions, fees, or other similar expenses to any party as a result of the proposed transaction. (d) The Plan purchases the Property from the Building Association for the lesser of (1) $62,791 or (2) the fair market value of the Property as determined on the date of such transaction by a qualified, independent appraiser. (e) The proposed transaction is consummated only after an independent fiduciary (1) determines that proceeding with the transaction is in the best interests of the Plan and its participants and beneficiaries and (2) negotiates the relevant terms and conditions of such transaction. (f) The independent fiduciary calculates, on the date of the transaction (using the applicable certificate of deposit rate in effect), the amount of interest owed to the Plan based upon its earnest money deposit for the Property. (g) On the date of the transaction, the Plan’s legal counsel pays all interest owed the Plan resulting from counsel’s placement of the Plan’s earnest money deposit for the Property in a noninterest bearing account.

For Further Information Contact: Ms. Jan D. Broady of the Department, telephone (202) 693–8556. (This is not a toll-free number.) General Information The attention of interested persons is directed to the following: (1) The fact that a transaction is the subject of an exemption under section 408(a) of the Act and/or section 4975(c)(2) of the Code does not relieve a fiduciary or other party in interest or disqualified person from certain other provisions to which the exemption does not apply and the general fiduciary responsibility provisions of section 404 of the Act, which among other things require a fiduciary to discharge his duties respecting the plan solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan and in a prudent fashion in accordance with section 404(a)(1)(B) of the Act; nor does it affect the requirement of section 401(a) of the Code that the plan must operate for the exclusive benefit of the employees of the employer maintaining the plan and their beneficiaries; (2) This exemption is supplemental to and not in derogation of, any other provisions of the Act and/or the Code, including statutory or administrative exemptions and transactional rules. Furthermore, the fact that a transaction is subject to an administrative or statutory exemption is not dispositive of whether the transaction is in fact a prohibited transaction; and (3) The availability of this exemption is subject to the express condition that the material facts and representations contained in the application accurately describes all material terms of the transaction which is the subject of the exemption.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering the issuance of a license amendment to Byproduct Materials License No. 06– 20971–01. This license is held by Eastern Connecticut State University (the Licensee), for its campus located in Willimantic, Connecticut. Issuance of the amendment would authorize release of two campus facilities, Goddard Hall and the Media Center, for unrestricted use. The Licensee requested this action in a letter dated May 18, 2009. 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 May 18, 2009, license amendment request, resulting in release of Goddard Hall and the Media Center for unrestricted use. License No. 06– 20971–01 was issued on March 18, 1986, pursuant to 10 CFR part 30, and has been amended periodically since E:\FR\FM\16NON1.SGM 16NON1
