lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Preferred Alternative as summarized
above and described in detail within the
2024 FEIS. Development of the
proposed project at the Roxana Site in
Letcher County is contingent on the
availability of funding sufficient to
proceed.
VII. Rationale
The FBOP’s decision is based on the
following:
The condition of facilities,
infrastructure, and equipment is critical
to effective correctional facility
operation and security. As a result of
their continuous use, facilities,
infrastructure, and equipment require
frequent maintenance and repairs, largescale upgrades and renovations, and in
select cases, complete replacement.
With over 50 percent of all federal
correctional facilities developed prior to
1991, and many facing a substantial
backlog of Modernization and Repair
(M&R) work, the challenge confronting
the FBOP to continue achieving its
mission with aging and obsolete
institutions is formidable.
Coinciding with the need for modern
facilities and infrastructure, Congress
directed the FBOP to conduct
investigations leading to development of
a new federal correctional facility in
Letcher County, Kentucky. The decision
to develop a new FCI and FPC at the
Roxana Site in Letcher County is based
on the many detailed investigations
conducted by the FBOP and
demonstrates compliance with
Congress’ directive while best meeting
the FBOP’s goals and objectives.
Because implementation of this
alternative would have fewer adverse
impacts on the human and natural
environments, the FBOP considers it to
be the Preferred Alternative.
Construction of the proposed FCI/FPC
at the Roxana Site will result in shortterm, temporary impacts including
increased noise levels, fugitive dust
emissions, soil erosion, traffic volumes,
and fuel consumption with the
associated air emissions. Permanent and
significant impacts to topography,
geology and soils would also occur from
construction with permanent and less
than significant impacts anticipated to
land use, community facilities and
services, transportation and traffic,
visual and aesthetic resources, air
quality, cultural resources, noise, utility
services, water resources, biological
resources, and hazardous materials, as
defined by NEPA.
While construction and operation of
the proposed FCI/FPC at the Roxana
Site will cause unavoidable impacts,
activities involving construction and
operation shall comply with applicable
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:13 Oct 25, 2024
Jkt 265001
federal statutes, implementing
regulations, Executive Orders, and other
consultation, review, and permit
requirements. Unavoidable adverse
impacts to natural and manmade
resources will be controlled, reduced, or
eliminated by the avoidance,
minimization, and mitigation measures
identified in Section V (Avoidance,
Minimization, and Mitigation Measures)
of this ROD.
The FBOP will implement a
Monitoring and Enforcement Program
(MEP) to ensure that the proposed
avoidance, minimization, and
mitigation measures documented within
this ROD are implemented. The MEP
will identify the timing, responsibility,
and method of implementation of the
proposed measures, as well as any
required monitoring and enforcement
activities. As part of the program, each
project contractor will be required to
implement the mitigation measures
arising from its project activities with
the FBOP or its authorized agencies
overseeing, inspecting and monitoring
the measures to ensure compliance. The
FBOP will be responsible for any
mitigation measures required as part of
FCI/FPC operation. The FBOP will
maintain the MEP throughout project
implementation and will include the
MEP in the project administrative
record. Any on-going obligations will be
the responsibility of the FBOP.
Development of the proposed FCI/
FPC at the Roxana Site will result in
beneficial impacts by adding a modern
new correctional facility to the federal
prison system. In doing so, the local and
regional economies will benefit from the
addition of 325 permanent workers and
new annual wages and salaries of $43
million along with $14 million in
annual expenditures for supplies,
equipment, utilities, and other goods
and services necessary for operation.
The estimated $57 million annual
operating budget is also expected to
indirectly support additional private
sector employment in Letcher County
and throughout southeastern Kentucky.
The region has experienced declining
populations and slow or no economic
growth which makes development of
the proposed FCI/FPC attractive and
consistent with the socioeconomic goals
and objectives expressed by Letcher
County leaders and representatives.
The FBOP will rely upon the Letcher
County Water and Sewer District for the
provision of water supply and
wastewater treatment services along
with other providers for electric power,
natural gas, telecommunications, and
solid waste collection services. Positive
economic benefits will also accrue to
those utility providers from suppling
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
85565
such services. The necessity for utility
service upgrades, extensions and related
improvements will be communicated
and coordinated with all appropriate
agencies.
Prior to making this decision, the
FBOP carefully considered comments
received following the publication of
the 2024 DEIS and FEIS. The comments
and responses thereto are hereby
acknowledged and measures to avoid,
minimize, and mitigate potential
adverse impacts are documented within
Section V of this ROD. The FBOP has
also carefully considered potential
environmental justice impacts of the
Proposed Action as discussed in the
2024 FEIS, together with comments
concerning environmental justice
submitted during the DEIS and FEIS
process. As documented in the 2024
FEIS, the FBOP has determined that the
Proposed Action will not result in either
a disparate or significantly adverse
impact to low-income or minority
populations to which Executive Order
12898 is applicable.
VIII. Conclusion
After consulting with FBOP staff and
being appraised of material in the 2024
DEIS and FEIS and visiting Letcher
County in August 2024, it is the
decision of the undersigned that the
FBOP select the Roxana Site for land
acquisition and the development of a
FCI and FPC in Letcher County.

I
Glow Rhino, LLC. (Glow Rhino) is a
limited liability company and a
commercial seller of consumer products
that contain tritium it purchases and
receives from initial distributors that
have been licensed by NRC. This
Confirmatory Order (CO) is the result of
an agreement reached during an
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
mediation session conducted on July 18,
2024, in Rockville, Maryland, to address
two apparent violations.
II
On November 15, 2022, the NRC’s
Office of Investigations (OI) opened an
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
investigation (OI Case No. 3–2023–003).
The purpose of the investigation was to
determine whether Glow Rhino was in
compliance with NRC’s regulatory
requirements related to Glow Rhino’s
possession and distribution of products
containing radioactive material.
Based on the conclusions of the
investigation, the NRC issued two
apparent violations that were
documented in an NRC letter, dated
April 11, 2024,
(Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS)
Accession No. ML24102A272). The NRC
letter identified two apparent violations
of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) 30.3, ‘‘Activities
requiring license’’. The violations are
related to the possession and
distribution of products containing
radioactive material without the
appropriate licenses or authorizations
from the NRC.
10 CFR 30.3(a), ‘‘Activities requiring
license’’ states, in part, that no person
shall manufacture, produce, transfer,
receive, acquire, own, possess, or use
byproduct material except as authorized
in a specific or general license issued in
accordance with the regulations in this
chapter.
The investigation identified that
between approximately January 6, 2021,
to October 4, 2023, Glow Rhino
possessed a number of consumer
products that contained licensable
quantities of byproduct material
(tritium) that was not authorized by a
specific or general license. Specifically,
Glow Rhino possessed products
containing tritium that were not
authorized by a possession license and
were not exempt from the requirements
for a possession license. In addition, the
investigation identified that between
approximately January 6, 2021, to
October 4, 2023, Glow Rhino transferred
products containing byproduct material
to persons not possessing a license,
without having been evaluated by the
NRC and registered in the Sealed Source
and Device Registry (SSDR) or
authorized for distribution by a license
issued pursuant to 10 CFR 30.3(a). The
NRC has determined that certain
consumer product models possessed
and distributed by Glow Rhino did not
match the description and information
in the SSDR. The models identified in
the apparent violations were: Tritium
Pry Bar, Tritium Glow Fob, Tritium
Keybar, Ember Fob, Griffin Pocket Tool,
Spyderco Paramilitary 3, G10 Scales,
Tritium Benchmade Thumbstud—Glow
Rhino, Tritium Benchmade Bugout Axis
Lockbar, G10 Tritium Scales for the
Benchmade Bugout, Tritium
