ACTION: Notice of intent; withdrawal. AGENCY: On November 29, 2005, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a semiautonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), announced its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in accordance with National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) to evaluate the operation of a Biosafety Level (BSL)–3 Facility at LANL. NNSA has determined that, at this point in time, it does not have a need to operate a BSL–3 Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Therefore, NNSA is withdrawing the Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS and is terminating the NEPA EIS process.

After completion of the NEPA process and BSL–3 Facility construction, NNSA determined there were seismic concerns that had not been adequately analyzed during the design of the BSL–3 Facility. As a result, in February 2004, NNSA withdrew the FONSI with respect to the operation of the BSL–3 Facility and subsequently decided to prepare an environmental impact statement.
