NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 030–16033] 

Notice of Availability of Environmental 

Assessment and Finding of No 

Significant Impact for License 

Amendment for Seiko Corporation of 

America’s Facility in Mt. Olive, NJ

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) is issuing a license amendment to 

Seiko Corporation of America (Seiko) 

for Materials License No. 29–19080–01, 

to authorize release of its facility in Mt. 

Olive, New Jersey for unrestricted use. 

NRC has prepared an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) in support of this 

action in accordance with the 

requirements of 10 CFR Part 51. Based 

on the EA, the NRC has concluded that 

a Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) is appropriate. The amendment 

will be issued following the publication 

of this Notice. 

II. EA Summary 

The purpose of the action is to 

authorize the release of the licensee’s 

Mt. Olive, New Jersey facility for 

unrestricted use. Seiko was authorized 

by NRC from 1985 for possession and 

storage of timepieces, hands, and dials 

containing radioactive material at the 

site prior to distribution. On June 9, 

2004, Seiko requested that NRC release 

the facility for unrestricted use. Seiko 

has conducted surveys of the facility 

and provided information to the NRC to 

demonstrate that the site meets the 

license termination criteria in Subpart E 

of 10 CFR Part 20 for unrestricted 

release. Seiko will continue licensed 

activities at another location. 

The NRC staff has prepared an EA in 

support of the license amendment. The 

facility was remediated and surveyed 

prior to the licensee requesting the 

license amendment. Therefore, the staff 

considered the impact of the residual 

radioactivity at the facility and 

concluded that since the residual 

radioactivity meets the requirements in 

Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 20, a Finding 

of No Significant Impact is appropriate. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The staff has prepared the EA 

(summarized above) in support of the 

license amendment to release the 

facility for unrestricted use. The NRC 

staff has evaluated Seiko’s request and 

the results of the surveys and has 

concluded that the completed action 

complies with the criteria in Subpart E 

of 10 CFR Part 20. The staff has found 

that the environmental impacts from the 

action are bounded by the impacts 

evaluated by NUREG–1496, Volumes 1–

3, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement in Support of Rulemaking on 

Radiological Criteria for License 

Termination of NRC-Licensed 

Facilities’’ (ML042310492, 

ML042320379, and ML042330385). On 

the basis of the EA, the NRC has 

concluded that the environmental 

impacts from the action are expected to 

be insignificant and has determined not 

to prepare an environmental impact 

statement for the action.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice 

of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness 

of a Proposed Rule Change by the 

American Stock Exchange LLC 

Relating to the Trading of Ratio Orders 

October 13, 2004. 

Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on 

September 23, 2004, the American Stock 

Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) 

the proposed rule change as described 

in items I and II below, which items 

have been prepared by the Amex. The 

Amex filed the proposal pursuant to 

section 19(b)(3)(A) under the Act,3 and 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder,4 which 

renders the proposal effective upon 

filing with the Commission. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Amex Rule 950, ‘‘Rules of General 

Applicability,’’ and Amex Rule 950–

ANTE, ‘‘Rules of General Applicability’’

to allow ratio orders with certain 

permissible ratio limits, as defined 

below, to be executed through the 

Amex. In addition, the Amex proposes 

to amend Commentary .01 to Amex Rule 

950(d) and Commentary .01 to Amex 

Rule 950–ANTE(d) to include these 

types of permissible ratio orders in the 

same exception to the priority rules that 

Amex Rule 950(d), Commentary .01, 

and Amex Rule 950–ANTE(d), 

Commentary .01, currently provide for 

spread, straddle, and combination 

orders. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

appears below. Additions are italicized.

Rule 950 ‘‘Rules of General 

Applicability’’

(a)–(d) No Change 

Commentary to (d) 

.01 When a member holding a spread 

order, a straddle order, ratio order, or a 

combination order and bidding or 

offering on the basis of a total credit or 

debit for the order has determined that 

the order may not be executed by a 

combination of transactions with or 

within the bids and offers established in 

the marketplace, then the order may be 

executed as a spread, straddle, or 

combination at the total credit or debit 

with one other member without giving 

priority to either bids or offers 

established in the marketplace that are 

not better than the bids or offers 

comprising such total credit or debit, 

provided that, (i) in executing a spread 

order, the member does not buy at the 

established bid for the option contract to 

be bought and sell at the established 

offer for the option contract to be sold 

or, (ii) in executing a straddle or 

combination order, the member does not 

either buy both sides of the order at the 

established bids or sell both sides of the 

order at the established offers.
