used to request additional information 

about the former Federal employee. The 

NA Form 13064, Reply to Request 

Involving Relief Agencies, is used to 

request additional information about the 

former relief agency employee. The NA

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–

30285–01. This license is held by SK 

Bio-Pharmaceutical R&D Center (the 

Licensee), for its SK Bio-Pharmaceutical 

R&D Center, located at 140A New Dutch 

Lane in Fairfield, New Jersey (the 

Facility). Issuance of the amendment 

would authorize release of ‘‘the 

Facility’’ for unrestricted use. The 

Licensee requested this action in a letter 

dated June 29, 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 

issue the amendment 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 June 29, 2006, license 

amendment request, resulting in release 

of ‘‘the Facility’’ for unrestricted use. 

License No. 29–30285–01 was issued on 

June 19, 1996, 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 and 

animal studies. 

The Facility is situated on 15,000 

square feet, and consists of general 

offices and laboratories. The Facility is 

located in a mixed industrial and 

commercial area. Within the Facility, 

use of licensed materials was confined 

to 1,600 square feet of laboratories. 

On May 26, 2006, 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
55224 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 183 / Thursday, September 21, 2006 / Notices 

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 release of the Facility for 

unrestricted use. 

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 during June 2006. This survey 

covered all areas where unsealed 

materials were known to be stored or 

used. The final status survey report was 

attached to the Licensee’s amendment 

request dated June 29, 2006. The 

Licensee elected to demonstrate 

compliance with the radiological 

criteria for unrestricted release as 

specified in 10 CFR 20.1402 by using 

the screening approach described in 

NUREG–1757, ‘‘Consolidated NMSS 

Decommissioning Guidance,’’ Volume 

2. The Licensee used the radionuclidespecific derived concentration guideline 

levels (DCGLs), developed there by the 

NRC, which comply with the dose 

criterion in 10 CFR 20.1402. These 

DCGLs define the maximum amount of 

residual radioactivity on building 

surfaces, equipment, and materials, and 

in soils, 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 these DCGLs and are in 

compliance with the As Low As 

Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) 

requirement of 10 CFR 20.1402. The 

NRC thus finds that the Licensee’s final 

status survey results are 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). The 

staff finds 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 identified no other radiological or 

non-radiological activities in the area 

that could result in cumulative 

environmental impacts. 

The NRC staff finds that the proposed 

release of the portion of the Facility 

described above 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, denying the amendment 

request 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 

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, Department of 

Environmental Health for review on July 

24, 2006. On July 27, 2006, State of New 

Jersey, Department of Environmental 

Health 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.
