68982 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 227 / Friday, November 26, 2004 / Notices 

concluded that a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) is 

appropriate. The license will be 

terminated following the publication of 

this Notice. 

II. EA Summary 

The purpose of the action is to 

terminate the license and authorize the 

release of the licensee’s Lewisburg, West 

Virginia facility for unrestricted use. 

The West Virginia School of 

Osteopathic Medicine was authorized 

by the NRC from June 6, 1980 to use 

radioactive materials for research and 

development purposes. On June 6, 2003, 

the West Virginia School of Osteopathic 

Medicine requested that the NRC release 

the facility for unrestricted use. Belair 

Quartz 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. 

The NRC staff has prepared an EA in 

support of the license termination. The 

facility was remediated and surveyed 

prior to the licensee requesting the 

license amendment. The NRC staff has 

reviewed the information and final 

status survey submitted by the West 

Virginia School of Osteopathic 

Medicine. Based on its reviews, the staff 

has determined that there are no 

additional remediation activities 

necessary to complete the proposed 

action. 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 

termination of the license and release 

the facility for unrestricted use. The 

NRC staff has evaluated the West 

Virginia School of Osteopathic 

Medicine’s request and the results of the 

survey 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.

Documents related to this action, 

including the application for the license 

termination and supporting 

documentation, are available

Proposed Collection: Comment 

Request for Review of Expiring 

Information Collection: Claim for 

Unpaid Compensation of Deceased 

Civilian Employee; SF 1153

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 104–13, May 22, 1995), this notice 

announces that the U.S. Office of 

Personnel Management (OPM) intends 

to submit to the Office of Management 

and Budget a request for review of an 

expiring information collection. 

Standard Form (SF) 1153, Claim for 

Unpaid Compensation of Deceased 

Civilian Employee, is used to collect 

information from individuals who have 

been designated as beneficiaries of the 

unpaid compensation of a deceased 

Federal employee or who believe that 

their relationship to the deceased 

entitles them to receive the unpaid 

compensation of the deceased Federal 

employee. OPM needs this information 

in order to adjudicate the claim and 

properly assign a deceased Federal 

employee’s unpaid compensation to the 

appropriate individual(s). 

Approximately 3,000 SF 1153 forms 

are submitted annually. It takes 

approximately 15 minutes to complete 

the form. The annual estimated burden 

is 750 hours. 

Comments are particularly invited on:

—Whether this collection of information 

is necessary for the proper 

performance of functions of OPM, and 

whether it will have practical utility; 

—Whether our estimate of the public 

burden of this collection is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; 

—Ways we can enhance the quality, 

utility and clarity of the information 

collected; and 

—Ways in which we can minimize the 

burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, through use of the 

appropriate technological collection 

techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
