Department of Energy August 17, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) is amending the Record of Decision (ROD) for the Environmental Impact Statement for the Conveyance and Transfer of Certain Land Tracts Administered by the Department of Energy and Located at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos and Santa Fe Counties, New Mexico, DOE/EIS-0293 (Conveyance and Transfer EIS) to reflect changes in the need to retain a certain portion of a land tract withheld earlier due to potential national security mission requirements for a health and safety buffer area relating to on-going operations. Specifically, DOE/NNSA has reassessed its need for a certain portion of a tract to serve as a health and safety buffer area for current and post-operations cleanup of its tritium-related activities at Los Alamos National Laboratory's (LANL's) Technical Area 21 (TA-21). DOE/NNSA no longer needs to retain a 32.3-acre portion of the Airport Tract located along the south side of State Road 502 for this purpose.
