Decommissioning Guidance.’’ The 

licensee’s decommissioning activities 

included decontamination, 

dismantlement, and demolition of 

various systems, structures, and 

components followed by MARSSIMbased FSS. 

By letter dated January 12, 2017, UB 

submitted the FSS Report for the BMRC 

and requested the termination of 

Facility Operating License No. R–77 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML17039A897). 

The NRC staff reviewed the FSS Report, 

which states that the criteria for 

termination set forth in UB’s license, 

and as established in its DP and FSS 

Plan, have been satisfied. Supplemental 

information was provided in an email 

from the licensee dated February 13, 

2018 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML18075A415), which addressed 

additional questions and items requiring 

clarification that were provided to the 

licensee. 

Throughout the decommissioning 

process, inspectors from the NRC’s 

Region I office conducted routine safety 

inspections at the BMRC, as 

documented in the following NRC 

Inspection Reports (IRs): IR 050–00057/ 

2015–001 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML16007A027), IR 050–00057/2014– 

001 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML15027A411), IR 050–00057/2013– 

003 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14219A022), IR 050–00057/2013– 

002 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML13204A096), and IR 050–00057/ 

2013–001 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML13106A379). The inspections 

consisted of observations by the 

inspectors, interviews with BMRC and 

contractor personnel, confirmatory 

measurements, collection of soil 

samples, and a review of work plans 

and work instructions. The NRC 

inspections also verified that radioactive 

waste associated with the 

decommissioning project had been 

shipped offsite and that the 

decommissioning and final status 

survey activities were being conducted 

safely and in accordance with regulatory 

requirements, licensee commitments, 

and the NRC-approved DP. No health or 

safety concerns were identified during 

the NRC inspections. 

During the periods of January 26–29, 

February 3–6, and August 17–21, 2015, 

the Oak Ridge Associated Universities 

(ORAU) performed confirmatory 

surveys in support of the BMRC 

excavation, which included surveys of 

surrounding soils, backfill material, and 

soil laydown areas. The survey activities 

included visual inspections, gamma 

radiation surface scans, gamma and beta 

radiation measurements, and soil 

sampling activities of six FSS units, 

which were combined into two 

confirmatory survey units. At the time 

of confirmatory survey activities, 

structures associated with the BMRC 

had been demolished and removed from 

the site. The site consisted of exposed 

bedrock where the BMRC facility was 

located, and the impacted soils 

surrounding the excavation. The ORAU 

provided the results of the confirmatory 

surveys in a report dated January 6, 

2016 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML16006A200). The ORAU site data 

support the conclusion that the residual 

activity levels satisfy the DCGLs. 

Based on observations during NRC 

inspections, decommissioning activities 

have been carried out by UB in 

accordance with the approved BMRC 

DP. Additionally, the NRC staff 

evaluated the licensee’s FSS Report and 

the results of the independent 

confirmatory survey conducted by 

ORAU. Based on the NRC staff’s 

evaluation of the FSS Report sampling 

and scanning data, NRC staff 

inspections, ORAU confirmatory 

analysis, and comparison to the BMRC 

reactor DP and FSS Plan criteria, the 

NRC staff concludes that the BMRC 

reactor decommissioning has been 

performed and completed in accordance 

with the approved DP, and that the 

facility and site are suitable for 

unrestricted release in accordance with 

the radiological criteria for license 

termination in 10 CFR part 20, subpart 

E. 

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.82(b)(6), Facility Operating License 

No. R–77 is terminated.

of August, 2018.

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently 

submitted a request for renewal of an 

existing collection of information to 

OMB for review entitled, ‘‘General 

Domestic Licenses for Byproduct 

Material.’’ The NRC hereby informs 

potential respondents that an agency 

may not conduct or sponsor, and that a 

person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

The NRC published a Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

April 10, 2018, 83 FR 15421. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 31, 

‘‘General Domestic Licenses for 

Byproduct Material.’’ 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0016. 

3. Type of submission: Revision. 

4. The form number if applicable: N/ 

A. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: Reports are submitted as 

events occur. General license 

registration requests may be submitted 

at any time. Changes to the information 

on the registration may be submitted as 

they occur. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Persons receiving, possessing, 

using, or transferring devices containing 

byproduct material. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 140,281 (10,681 responses + 

129,600 recordkeepers). 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 10,681 (993 NRC licensee 

respondents + 9,688 Agreement State 

respondents). 

9. An estimate of the total number of 

hours needed annually to comply with 

the information collection requirement 

or request: 36,638 hours (4,926 hours for 

NRC licensees + 31,712 hours for 

Agreement State licensees). 

10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 31 

establishes general licenses for the 

possession and use of byproduct 

material in certain devices. General 

licensees are required to keep testing 

records and submit event reports 

identified in 10 CFR part 31, which 

assist the NRC in determining, with 

reasonable assurance, that devices are 

operated safely and without radiological 

hazard to users or the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering issuance of an 

amendment of License No. SUA–1341, 

issued to Uranium One, for operation of 

the Ludeman Satellite, located in 

Wyoming, Converse County. Therefore, 

as required by part 51 of title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

the NRC performed an environmental 

assessment. Based on the results of the 

environmental assessment, the NRC has 

determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

amendment, and is issuing a finding of 

no significant impact. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Description of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action would allow 

Uranium One to construct, operate, 

perform aquifer restoration, and 

decommissioning activities at the 

Ludeman Satellite. The proposed action 

is in accordance with the licensee’s 

application dated December 3, 2011 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML120120182). 

Need for the Proposed Action 

The proposed action allows Uranium 

One to recover uranium within the 

proposed Ludeman Satellite. The 

licensee would process the recovered 

uranium into yellowcake at the existing 

central processing plant (CPP) currently
