Information.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the agency’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe and make 

available to the public such information 

as methods that are acceptable to the 

NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the NRC’s regulations, 

techniques that the staff uses in 

evaluating specific problems or 

postulated accidents, and data that the 

staff needs in its review of applications 

for permits and licenses. 

The draft regulatory guide (DG), 

entitled, ‘‘Protection of Safeguards 

Information,’’ is temporarily identified 

by its task number, DG–5034, which 

should be mentioned in all related 

correspondence. DG–5034 will be a new 

regulatory guide. Title 10, section 73.21, 

‘‘Protection of Safeguards Information: 

Performance Requirements,’’ of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 

73.21) requires, in part, that each 

licensee, certificate holder, applicant, or 

other person who produces, receives, or 

acquires Safeguards Information (SGI) 

shall ensure that it is protected against 

unauthorized disclosure. 

This guide describes a method that 

the staff of the NRC considers 

acceptable to implement the general 

performance requirements specified in 

10 CFR 73.21(a)(i) and (ii) that establish, 

implement, and maintain an 

information protection system that 

includes the applicable measures for 

SGI specified in 10 CFR 73.22, 

‘‘Protection of Safeguards Information: 

Specific Requirements,’’ or 10 CFR 

73.23, ‘‘Protection of Safeguards 

Information—Modified Handling: 

Specific Requirements.’’ This guide 

applies to all licensees, certificate 

holders, applicants, or other persons 

who produce, receive, or acquire SGI 

(including SGI with the designation or 

marking: ‘‘Safeguards Information— 

Modified Handling’’ (SGI–M)). 

The guidance and criteria contained 

in this document pertain to the 

protection of SGI as defined in 10 CFR 

part 73, ‘‘Physical Protection of Plants 

and Materials.’’ It is intended to assist 

licensees and other persons who 

produce, receive, or acquire SGI to 

establish an information protection 

system that addresses (1) Information to 

be protected, (2) conditions for access, 

(3) protection while in use or storage, (4) 

preparing and marking documents or 

other matter, (5) reproduction of matter 

containing SGI, (6) external 

transmission of documents and 

material, (7) processing SGI on 

electronic systems, (8) removal from the 

SGI category, and (9) destruction of 

matter containing SGI. 

II. Further Information 

The NRC staff is soliciting comments 

on DG–5034. Comments may be 

accompanied by relevant information or 

supporting data and should mention 

DG–5034 in the subject line. 

Comments submitted in writing or in 

electronic form will be made available 

to the public in their entirety through

(ADAMS). 

Because your comments will not be 

edited to remove any identifying or 

contact information, the NRC cautions 

you against including any information 

in your submission that you do not want 

to be publicly disclosed. 

The NRC requests that any party 

soliciting or aggregating comments 

received from other persons for 

submission to the NRC inform those 

persons that the NRC will not edit their 

comments to remove any identifying or 

contact information, and therefore, they 

should not include any information in 

their comments that they do not want 

publicly disclosed. You may submit 

comments by any of the following 

methods: 

1. Mail comments to: Rulemaking and 

Directives Branch, Mail Stop: TWB–05– 

B01M, Division of Administrative 

Services, Office of Administration, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001.

[NRC–2009–0345]. Address questions 

about NRC dockets to Carol Gallagher,

Requests for technical information 

about DG–5034 may be directed to the 

NRC contact, Robert Norman at (301) 

415–2278 or e-mail to 

Robert.Norman@nrc.gov. 

Comments would be most helpful if 

received by October 1, 2009. Comments 

received after that date will be 

considered if it is practical to do so, but 

the NRC is able to ensure consideration 

only for comments received on or before 

this date. Although a time limit is given, 

comments and suggestions in 

connection with items for inclusion in 

guides currently being developed or 

improvements in all published guides 

are encouraged at any time. 

Electronic copies of DG–5034 are 

available through the NRC’s public Web 

site under Draft Regulatory Guides in 

the ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ collection of 

the NRC’s Electronic Reading Room at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. Electronic copies are also 

available in ADAMS (http:// 

www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html), 

under Accession No. ML090930608. 

In addition, regulatory guides are 

available for inspection at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room (PDR) located at 

11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland. The PDR’s mailing address is 

USNRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering the 

issuance of a license amendment to 

Byproduct Materials License No. 06– 

00253–04. This license is held by 

Hartford Hospital (the Licensee), for, in 

part, Surgical Research on the second 

floor of the Crane-East Building, 

Medical Research on the third floor of 

the Crane-East Building, Animal Care 

and Research on the fourth floor of the 

Crane-East Building, Immunochemistry 

Research on the third floor of the Bliss 

Wing, and Special Hematology Research 

on the third floor of the High Building 

(the Facility), located at 80 Seymour 

Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Issuance 

of the amendment would authorize 

release of the Facility for unrestricted 

use. The Licensee requested this action 

in a letter dated March 28, 2008. The 

NRC has prepared an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) in support of this 

proposed action in accordance with the 

requirements of Title 10, Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 51 (10 

CFR Part 51). Based on the EA, the NRC 

has concluded that a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) is 

appropriate with respect to the 

proposed action. The amendment will 

be issued to the Licensee following the 

publication of this FONSI and EA in the 

Federal Register. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Identification of Proposed Action 

The proposed action would approve 

the Licensee’s March 28, 2008 license 

amendment request, resulting in release 

of the Facility for unrestricted use. 

License No. 06–00253–04 was issued on 

October 11, 1956, pursuant to 10 CFR 

Part 30, and has been amended 

periodically since that time. This 

license authorized the Licensee to use, 

in part, unsealed byproduct material for 

purposes of conducting research and 

development activities on laboratory 

bench tops and in hoods. 

The Facility consists of office space 

and laboratories located in three 

buildings. The Facility is located in a 

commercial area. Within the Facility, 

use of licensed materials was confined 

to 13,350 square feet in the Crane—East 

Building, 2,400 square feet in the Bliss 

Wing, and 210 square feet in the High 

Building. 

In July 2002, the Licensee ceased 

licensed activities and initiated a survey 

and decontamination of the Facility. 

Based on the Licensee’s historical 

knowledge of the site and the conditions 

of the Facility, the Licensee determined 

that only routine decontamination 

activities, in accordance with their NRCapproved, operating radiation safety 

procedures, were required. The Licensee 

was not required to submit a 

decommissioning plan to the NRC 

because worker cleanup activities and 

procedures are consistent with those 

approved for routine operations. The 

Licensee conducted surveys of the 

Facility and provided information to the 

NRC to demonstrate that it meets the 

criteria in Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 20 

for unrestricted release. 

Need for the Proposed Action 

The Licensee has ceased conducting 

licensed activities at the Facility, and 

seeks the unrestricted use of its Facility.
