Sunshine Act Meeting, 59022-59023 [2012-23665]

Download as PDF 59022 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 186 / Tuesday, September 25, 2012 / Notices commodities primarily of foreign origin. Typically, the licensee receives two or less sources per year. These sources normally consist of less than one curie of tritium and less than one millicurie of radium 226 per year. The material is disposed unless it is integral to the functioning of the obtained system. The research and development performed involves testing for functional and operational characteristics. No fabrication using loose or unsealed materials is conducted. No willful destructive testing of items containing radioactive materials will be conducted under this license. If destructive testing is requested it will be conducted by other agencies under separate NRC license. The licensee does not know in advance what sources or devices may be received at its facility and that, in the interest of national security and the U.S. Department of Defense policy, the sources or origin of foreign equipment should not be revealed. The licensee’s policy requires immediate survey of all foreign items for radioactive material and coordination with disposal organizations if radioactive contamination is found. emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES Need for the Proposed Action The licensee receives and takes possession of sealed sources and devices which have not been registered with the NRC under 10 CFR 32.210 or with an Agreement State. As these sources and devices are from foreign manufacturers, are not obtained for commercial purposes, and will not be subject to registration, the licensee would not be able to possess these sources as sealed sources without this exemption. Technical Analysis of the Proposed Action Paragraph 10 CFR 30.11(a) states that the Commission may grant such exemptions from the requirements of the regulations as it determines are authorized by law, will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and are otherwise in the public interest. The NRC staff has analyzed the licensee’s request to be authorized to receive and take possession of sealed sources and devices which have not been registered with the NRC under 10 CFR 32.210 or with an Agreement State. The NRC staff has determined that the licensee has established and implemented training requirements for issuance of a Type A specific license of broad scope as specified in 10 CFR Part 33. This licensee has sufficient training to handle these sources and devices. Furthermore, NRC inspections have evaluated the VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:15 Sep 24, 2012 Jkt 226001 licensee’s performance and determined that the licensee has safely handled these unregistered sources for many years. Prior to this renewal, the license did not require the licensee to specify registered manufacturers and models. Accordingly, the NRC staff has concluded that granting this exemption is authorized by law, will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is in the public interest. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The proposed action is largely administrative in nature. Approving this exemption will have a small environmental impact. Typically, the licensee receives two or less sources per year. These sources normally consist of less than one curie of tritium and less than one millicurie of radium 226 per year. This amount would ultimately be disposed at the same rate. 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 Environmental Impacts of the Alternative to the Proposed Action Due to the largely administrative nature of the proposed action, its environmental impacts are small. Additionally, denying the exemption request would result in no change in current environmental impacts. If the exemption request was denied and the amendment was not granted the licensee would need to request an amendment to authorize possession of the material in ‘‘any’’ form. This would authorize the licensee to possess radioactive materials regardless of its form. The environmental impacts of the proposed action and the no-action alternative are therefore similar, and the no-action alternative is accordingly not further considered. Documents related to this action, including the application for license renewal and supporting documentation, are available electronically at the NRC’s Electronic Reading Room at https://www. nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. From this site, you can access the NRC’s Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS), which provides text and image files of NRC’s public documents. The documents related to this action are listed below, along with their ADAMS accession numbers. Application for License Renewal dated, June 20, 2011 [ML12090A516] Request for Exemption, letter dated, October 19, 2011 [ML112940589] If you do not have access to ADAMS, or if there are problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, contact the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) Reference staff at 1–800–397–4209, 301– 415–4737, or by email to PDR.Resource@nrc.gov.

The PDR reproduction contractor will copy documents for a fee. Conclusion The NRC staff has concluded that the proposed action will not significantly impact the quality of the human environment. The NRC staff concludes that the proposed action is the preferred alternative. Dated at Region I, 2100 Renaissance Blvd., Suite 100, King of Prussia, PA, this September 10th, 2012. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Judith Joustra, Chief, Commercial and R&D Branch, Division of Nuclear Materials Safety, Region I. Agencies and Persons Consulted The NRC staff has 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.
