4. How Often the Collection is 

Required: Required reports are collected 

and evaluated on a continuing basis as 

events occur. There is a one-time 

submittal of information to receive a 

license. Renewal applications are 

submitted every 10 years. Information 

submitted in previous applications may 

be referenced without being 

resubmitted. In addition, recordkeeping 

must be performed on an on-going basis. 

5. Who Will be Required or Asked to 

Report: All persons applying for or 

holding a license to manufacture, 

produce, transfer, receive, acquire, own, 

possess, or use radioactive byproduct 

material. 

6. An Estimate of the Number of 

Annual Responses: 38,407 (6,623 NRC 

Licensee responses (2,754 Responses + 

3,869 Recordkeepers) and 31,784 

Agreement State Licensee responses 

(13,213 Responses + 18,571 

Recordkeepers)). 

7. The Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 22,440 (3,869 NRC 

licensees and 18,571 Agreement State 

licensees). 

8. An Estimate of the Total Number of 

Hours Needed Annually to Complete the 

Requirement or Request: 314,844 (NRC 

licensees 54,250 hours (24,633 reporting 

+ 29,617 recordkeeping) and Agreement 

State licensees 260,594 hours (118,597 

reporting + 141,997 recordkeeping)). 

9. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 30 establishes 

requirements that are applicable to all 

persons in the United States governing 

domestic licensing of radioactive 

byproduct material. The application, 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements are necessary to permit the 

NRC to make a determination whether 

the possession, use, and transfer of 

byproduct material is in conformance 

with the Commission’s regulations for 

protection of the public health and 

safety.

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, ‘‘Guidance for ITAAC Closure 

under 10 CFR Part 52,’’ is temporarily 

identified by its task number, DG–1204, 

which should be mentioned in all 

related correspondence. DG–1204 

describes a method that the staff of the 

NRC considers acceptable for use in 

satisfying the requirements for 

documenting the completion of 

inspections, tests, analyses, and 

acceptance criteria (ITAAC). In 

particular, DG–1204 endorses the 

provisions in the industry guidance 

document Nuclear Energy Institute 

(NEI) 08–01, ‘‘Industry Guideline for the 

ITAAC Closure Process Under 10 CFR 

Part 52,’’ Revision 3, issued December 

2008, for the implementation of Title 10, 

§ 52.99, ‘‘Inspection during 

construction,’’ of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR 52.99). In 10 CFR 

52.99, the NRC included requirements 

for the process of documenting and 

reporting satisfaction of the acceptance 

criteria for each ITAAC listed in the 

combined license (COL) and 

accompanying design certification. 

The objectives of DG–1204 are to 

provide guidance to help licensees make 

notifications to the NRC for completed 

and uncompleted ITAAC. The NRC uses 

these notifications for inspection 

planning and public hearing purposes. 

DG–1204 describes methods that the 

NRC staff considers acceptable for 

licensees to use for documenting and 

reporting the satisfactory completion of 

the acceptance criteria for each ITAAC 

listed in the COL and accompanying 

design certification. DG–1204, through 

its endorsement of an industry guidance 

document for licensees, provides 

guidance on complying with the 

requirements of 10 CFR 52.99. 

II. Further Information 

The NRC staff is soliciting comments 

on DG–1204. Comments may be 

accompanied by relevant information or 

supporting data and should mention 

DG–1204 in the subject line. Comments 

submitted in writing or in electronic 

form will be made available to the 

public in their entirety through the 

NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is proposing to 

amend Byproduct Materials License No. 

24–32439–01. This license is held by 

the Pharmacia Corporation (the 

Licensee) for its facilities located at 800 

North Lindbergh Boulevard, Creve 

Coeur, Missouri, 700 Chesterfield, St. 

Louis, Missouri, and 645 South 

Newstead Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri. 

Issuance of the amendment would 

authorize release of the Creve Coeur 

facility (the Facility) for unrestricted 

use. The Licensee requested this action 

in a letter dated January 15, 2009. 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 January 15, 2009, license 

amendment request, resulting in release 

of the Facility for unrestricted use. 

License No. 24–32439–01 was issued on 

April 8, 2004, pursuant to 10 CFR part 

30, and has been amended periodically 

since that time. The license authorizes 

the use of by-product materials for 

laboratory research and development 

including animal studies. The licensee 

ceased using licensed materials in the 

Facility in 2008. The Licensee has 

conducted final status surveys of the 

Facility. The results of these surveys 

along with other supporting information 

were provided to the NRC to 

demonstrate that the criteria in subpart 

E of 10 CFR part 20 for unrestricted 

release have been met. 

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 hydrogen-3, carbon-14, phosphorus32, phosphorus-33, sulfur-35, calcium45, chromium-51, and iodine-125. 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 completed final status 

surveys on the Facility on January 5, 

2009. The surveys covered all areas of 

the Facility. The final status survey 

report was attached to the Licensee’s 

amendment request dated January 15, 

2009. The Licensee elected to 

demonstrate compliance with the 

radiological criteria for unrestricted 

release as specified in 10 CFR 20.1402 

by using the screening values described 

in NUREG–1757, ‘‘Consolidated 

Decommissioning Guidance,’’ Volume 2 

as the radionuclide-specific derived 

concentration guideline levels (DCGLs). 

These values provide acceptable levels 

of surface contamination to demonstrate 

compliance with the NRC requirements 

in subpart E of 10 CFR part 20 for 

unrestricted release. The Licensee’s 

final status survey results were below 

these values 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 available docket file 

records and the survey results 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 issuance of 

the proposed amendment authorizing 

release of the Facility for unrestricted 

use is in compliance with 10 CFR part 

20. 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.
