Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 169 / Thursday, August 31, 2006 / Notices 51859 

Section 303(a)(5) of the Social 

Security Act further requires a state’s UI 

law to include provisions for: 

‘‘Expenditure of all money withdrawn from 

an unemployment fund of such State, in the 

payment of unemployment compensation 

***’’

Section 3304(a)(4) of the Internal 

Revenue Code of 1954 provides that: 

‘‘all money withdrawn from the 

unemployment fund of the State shall be 

used solely in the payment of unemployment 

compensation * * *’’

The Secretary of Labor has interpreted 

the above sections of federal law in 

Section 7511, Part V, ES Manual to 

further require a state’s UI law to 

include provisions for such methods of 

administration as are, within reason, 

calculated (1) to detect benefits paid 

through error by the State Workforce 

Agency (SWA) or through willful 

misrepresentation or error by the 

claimant or others, (2) to deter claimants 

from obtaining benefits through willful 

misrepresentation, and (3) to recover 

benefits overpaid. The ETA 227 is used 

to determine whether SWAs meet these 

requirements. 

The ETA–227 contains data on the 

number and amounts of fraud and nonfraud overpayments established, the 

methods by which overpayments were 

detected, the amounts and methods by 

which overpayments were collected, the 

amounts of overpayments waived and 

written off, the accounts receivable for 

overpayments outstanding, and data on 

criminal/civil actions. 

These data are gathered by 53 SWAs 

and reported to the Department of Labor 

following the end of each calendar 

quarter. The overall effectiveness of 

SWAs’ UI integrity efforts can be 

determined by examining and analyzing 

the data. 

These data are also used by SWAs as 

a management tool for effective UI 

program administration. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions 

The UI program paid approximately 

$42 billion in benefits in 2004. 

Although the overpayment rate (fraud 

and non-fraud) derived from the ETA 

227 is relatively low (less than 3.25 

percent), high amounts of money are 

involved, and it is in the national 

interest to maintain the program’s 

integrity. Therefore, we are proposing to 

extend the authorization to continue 

collecting data to measure the 

effectiveness of the benefit payment 

control programs in the SWAs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering the 

issuance of a license amendment to 

Byproduct Materials License No. 29–

30390–01. This license is held by SFBC 

Taylor Technology, Inc. (the Licensee), 

for its locations of use located at 107 

and 301D College Road East in 

Princeton, New Jersey. Issuance of the 

amendment would authorize release of 

the location of use at 107 College Road 

East in Princeton, New Jersey (the 

Facility) for unrestricted use while 

retaining authorization to conduct 

licensed activities at the 301D College 

Road East location of use. The Licensee 

requested this action in a letter dated 

May 1, 2006. 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 NRC plans to 

take this proposed action 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 May 1, 2006, license 

amendment request, resulting in release 

of the Facility for unrestricted use. 

License No. 29–30390–01 was issued on 

June 5, 1997, pursuant to 10 CFR part 

30, and has been amended periodically 

since that time. This license authorized 

the Licensee to use unsealed byproduct 

material for purposes of conducting 

research and development activities on 

laboratory bench tops and in hoods. 

The Facility consists of 10,000 square 

feet of office space and laboratories and 

is located in a commercial area. Within 

the Facility, use of licensed materials 

was confined to the Mass Spectroscopy 

Laboratory (1,000 square feet), the Wet 

Laboratory (1,000 square feet), the 

Sample Log-In Area (350 square feet), 

and the Waste Storage Area (150 square 

feet). 

On June 6, 2005, the Licensee ceased 

licensed activities in these areas 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 NRC-approved, 

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. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The historical review of licensed 

activities conducted at the Facility 

shows that such activities involved use 

of the following radionuclides with halflives greater than 120 days: hydrogen-3 

and carbon-14. Prior to performing the 

final status survey, the Licensee 

conducted decontamination activities, 

as necessary, in the areas of the Facility 

affected by these radionuclides. 

The Licensee conducted a final status 

survey on April 11, 2006. This survey 

covered the Waste Storage Area, the 

Sample Log-in Area, the Wet 

Laboratory, and the Mass Spectroscopy 

Laboratory. The final status survey 

report was attached to the Licensee’s 

amendment request dated May 1, 2006. 

The Licensee elected to demonstrate 

compliance with the radiological 

criteria for unrestricted release as 

specified in 10 CFR 20.1402 by 

performing radiological surveys and 

determining that the contamination in 

the Facility areas where licensed 

material was used would not expose an 

individual to 25 millirem per year of 

radiation by inhalation or ingestion. The 

Licensee thus determined the maximum 

amount of residual radioactivity on 

building surfaces, equipment, and 

materials that will satisfy the NRC 

requirements in Subpart E of 10 CFR 

Part 20 for unrestricted release. The 

Licensee’s final status survey results 

were below 200 disintegrations per 

minute for a wipe of 100 square 

centimeters for the isotopes of Carbon14 and tritium (Hydrogen-3), and are 

thus acceptable. 

Based on its review, the staff has 

determined that the affected 

environment and any environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action are bounded by the impacts 

evaluated by the ‘‘Generic 

Environmental Impact Statement in 

Support of Rulemaking on Radiological 

Criteria for License Termination of NRCLicensed Nuclear Facilities’’ (NUREG–

1496) Volumes 1–3 (ML042310492, 

ML042320379, and ML042330385). 

Accordingly, there were no significant 

environmental impacts from the use of 

radioactive material at the Facility. The 

NRC staff reviewed the docket file 

records and the final status survey 

report to identify any non-radiological 

hazards that may have impacted the 

environment surrounding the Facility. 

No such hazards or impacts to the 

environment were identified. The NRC 

has found no other radiological or nonradiological activities in the area that 

could result in cumulative 

environmental impacts. 

The NRC staff finds that the proposed 

release of the Facility for unrestricted 

use is in compliance with 10 CFR 

20.1402. Based on its review, the staff 

considered the impact of the residual 

radioactivity at the Facility and 

concluded that the proposed action will 

not have a significant effect on the 

quality of the human environment. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

Due to the largely administrative 

nature of the proposed action, its 

environmental impacts are small. 

Therefore, the only alternative the staff 

considered is the no-action alternative, 

under which the staff would leave 

things as they are by simply denying the 

amendment request. This no-action 

alternative is not feasible because it 

conflicts with 10 CFR 30.36(d), 

requiring that decommissioning of 

byproduct material facilities be 

completed and approved by the NRC 

after licensed activities cease. The 

NRC’s analysis of the Licensee’s final 

status survey data confirmed that the 

Facility meets the requirements of 10 

CFR 20.1402 for unrestricted release. 

Additionally, this denial of the 

application would result in no change 

in current environmental impacts. The 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and the no-action alternative are 

therefore similar, and the no-action 

alternative is accordingly not further 

considered. 

Conclusion 

The NRC staff has concluded that the 

proposed action is consistent with the 

NRC’s unrestricted release criteria

1Attachment 1 contains sensitive information 

and will not be released to the public. 

2Safeguards Information is a form of sensitive, 

unclassified, security-related information that the 

Commission has the authority to designate and 

protect under section 147 of the AEA. 

specified in 10 CFR 20.1402. Because 

the proposed action will not 

significantly impact the quality of the 

human environment, the NRC staff 

concludes that the proposed action is 

the preferred alternative. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

NRC provided a draft of this 

Environmental Assessment to the State 

of New Jersey’s Department of 

Environmental Protection for review on 

June 13, 2006. On June 29, 2006, the 

State of New Jersey’s Department of 

Environmental Protection responded by 

letter. The State agreed with the 

conclusions of the EA, and otherwise 

had no comments. 

The NRC staff has determined that the 

proposed action is of a procedural 

nature, and will not affect listed species 

or critical habitat. Therefore, no further 

consultation is required under Section 7 

of the Endangered Species Act. The 

NRC staff has also determined that the 

proposed action is not the type of 

activity that has the potential to cause 

effects on historic properties. Therefore, 

no further consultation is required 

under Section 106 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The NRC staff has prepared this EA in 

support of the proposed action. On the 

basis of this EA, the NRC finds that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts from the proposed action, and 

that preparation of an environmental 

impact statement is not warranted. 

Accordingly, the NRC has determined 

that a Finding of No Significant Impact 

is appropriate.

[EA–06–155] 

In the Matter of: All Licensees 

Identified in Attachment 1 and All 

Other Persons Who Seek or Obtain 

Access to Safeguards Information 

Described Herein; Order Imposing 

Fingerprinting and Criminal History 

Check Requirements for Access to 

Safeguards Information (Effective 

Immediately) 

I 

The Licensees identified in 

Attachment 11 to this Order hold 

licenses issued in accordance with the 

Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as 

amended, by the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC or 

Commission) or Agreement States, 

authorizing them to engage in an 

activity subject to regulation by the 

Commission or Agreement States. On 

August 8, 2005, the Energy Policy Act 

of 2005 (EPAct) was enacted. Section 

652 of the EPAct amended Section 149 

of the AEA to require fingerprinting and 

a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) 

identification and criminal history 

records check of any person who is to 

be permitted to have access to 

Safeguards Information (SGI) 2. The 

NRC’s implementation of this 

requirement cannot await the 

completion of the SGI rulemaking, 

which is underway, because the EPAct 

fingerprinting and criminal history 

check requirements for access to SGI 

were immediately effective upon 

enactment of the EPAct. Although the 

EPAct permits the Commission by rule 

to except certain categories of 

individuals from the fingerprinting 

requirement, which the Commission has 

done (see 10 CFR 73.59, 71 FR 33989 

(June 13, 2006)), it is unlikely that 

licensee employees are excepted from 

the fingerprinting requirement by the 

‘‘fingerprinting relief’’ rule. Individuals 

relieved from fingerprinting and 

criminal history checks under the relief 

rule include Federal, State, and local 

officials and law enforcement 

personnel; Agreement State inspectors 

who conduct security inspections on 

behalf of the NRC; members of Congress 

and certain employees of members of 

Congress or Congressional Committees, 

and representatives of the International 

Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) or certain 

foreign government organizations. In 

addition, individuals who have a 

favorably-decided U.S. Government 

criminal history check within the last 

five (5) years, and individuals who have 

active federal security clearances 

(provided in either case that they make 

available the appropriate 

documentation), have satisfied the 

EPAct fingerprinting requirement and 

need not be fingerprinted again. 

Therefore, in accordance with Section 

149 of the AEA, as amended by the 

EPAct, the Commission is imposing 

additional requirements for access to 

SGI, as set forth by this Order, so that 

affected licensees can obtain and grant 

access to SGI. This Order also imposes 

requirements for access to SGI by any
