Significant Impact for License 

Amendment for APPTEC Laboratory 

Services, Inc.’s Facility in Camden, NJ

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) is issuing a license amendment to 

AppTec Laboratory Services, Inc. 

(AppTec) for Materials License No. 29–

28152–01, to terminate the license and 

authorize release of its facility in 

Camden, 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 

Camden, New Jersey, facility for 

unrestricted use. AppTec was 

authorized by NRC from April 7, 1988, 

to use radioactive materials for research 

and development purposes at the site. 

On July 28, 2004, AppTec requested that 

NRC release the facility for unrestricted 

use. AppTec 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 use. 

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. The NRC staff has 

reviewed the information and final 

status survey submitted by AppTec. 

Based on its review, 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 

license amendment to terminate the 

license and release the facility for 

unrestricted use. The NRC staff has 

evaluated AppTec’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, 

72224 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 238 / Monday, December 13, 2004 / Notices 

‘‘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. 

IV. Further Information

including the application for the license 

amendment and supporting 

documentation, are available

Transmittal Memorandum No. 3 

Revisions to OMB Circular A–127 

This Transmittal Memorandum 

replaces and rescinds Circular A–127 

Transmittal Memorandum No. 2, dated 

June 10, 1999, which revised Circular 

A–127, ‘‘Financial Management 

Systems’’ dated July 23, 1993. 

Transmittal Memorandum No. 2 revised 

Sections 8d and 9b of A–127 and added 

new Sections 9a(3) and 9c. This 

Transmittal Memorandum revises 

Sections 7g, 7i, 8d, 9b, and 9c. It deletes 

Section 9a(3) and adds new Sections 8g 

and 9d. 

The changes to Circular A–127 are as 

follows: 

• Section 7g: ‘‘Joint Financial 

Management Improvement Program 

(JFMIP)’’ is replaced by ‘‘Office of 

Federal Financial Management 

(OFFM).’’

• Section 7i: ‘‘JFMIP’’ is replaced by

• Section 8d is deleted in its entirety 

and replaced with the following: 

8d(1) Use of ‘‘Off-the-Shelf’’ Software. 

Agencies replacing software to meet 

core financial system requirements must 

use ‘‘off-the-shelf’’ software that has 

been tested and certified through the 

Chief Financial Officers Council (CFOC) 

software certification process as meeting 

OFFM core financial system 

requirements. Agencies may purchase 

this software or contract for a service

strategy and procurement vehicle they 

believe will best enable them to meet 

their needs in a timely and effective 

manner following the competition 

requirements associated with the 

procurement vehicle being used to 

conduct the acquisition. 

OMB policy pertaining to using ‘‘offthe-shelf’’ software is contained in OMB
