SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    Pursuant to section 2.106 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of 
license renewal to Material License No. SNM-986, to MIT, which 
authorizes MIT to possess and use SNM for education, research, and 
training programs at its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This 
licensee's request for renewal of its license was made on February 24, 
2016. Because the licensed material will be used for research and 
development and for educational purposes, renewal of SNM License No. 
SNM-986 is an action that is categorically excluded from a requirement 
to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact 
statement, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(c)(14)(v). A notice of receipt of 
the license renewal application with an opportunity to request a 
hearing and petition for leave to intervene was published in the 
Federal Register on August 8, 2016 (81 FR 52478). The NRC did not 
receive a request for a hearing or for a petition for leave to 
intervene. This license renewal complies with the standards and 
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the 
NRC's rules and regulations as set forth in 10 CFR Chapter 1. 
Accordingly, this license renewal was issued on December 14, 2017, and 
is effective immediately.
    The NRC prepared a safety evaluation report for the renewal of SNM-
986 and concluded that the licensee can continue to operate the 
facility without endangering the health and safety of the public.
