left the institution (see section 484C of 

the HEA).

AGENCY: Office of Environmental

Background 

DOE is preparing the ‘‘Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Remediation of Area IV and the 

Northern Buffer Zone of the Santa 

Susana Field Laboratory’’ (SEIS) (DOE/ 

EIS–0402–S1) in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (Pub. L. 91–190,42 

United States Code (U.S.C.) 4321 et seq.) 

(NEPA), the Council on Environmental 

Quality’s (CEQ) NEPA regulations (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508), 1 and DOE’s 

NEPA Implementing Procedures (10 

CFR part 1021). 

Site History. Located on 2,850 acres in 

the hills between the San Fernando 

Valley and Simi Valley, CA, SSFL was 

established in 1947 by North American 

Aviation (NAA) for the development 

and testing of liquid propellant rocket 

engines, first for the U.S. Air Force and 

subsequently for the National 

Aeronautics and Space Administration 

(NASA). In 1955, NAA established the 

subdivision Atomics International for 

the purpose of conducting energy 

research and testing small nuclear 

reactors for the Atomic Energy 

Commission (AEC), a predecessor 

agency to DOE, and commercial clients 

in the western portion of SSFL, also 

known as Area IV. Atomics 

International merged into Rocketdyne in 

1984. In 1996, the Boeing Company 

(Boeing) acquired part of Rocketdyne, 

and with it SSFL. 

SSFL is divided into four 

administrative areas and two contiguous 

buffer zones north and south of the 

administrative areas. Area I consists of 

about 714 acres, including 672 acres 

that are owned and operated by Boeing 

and 42 acres that are owned by the 

Federal Government and administered 

by NASA. Area II consists of about 410 

acres that are owned by the Federal 

Government and administered by 

NASA. Area III consists of about 120 

acres that are owned and operated by 

Boeing. Area IV consists of about 290 

acres that are owned by Boeing in which 

90 acres have been leased by DOE and 

its predecessors for work described 

below. Boeing also owns contiguous 

buffer zone areas of 1,143 acres to the 

south (Southern Buffer Zone) and 182 

acres to the north (NBZ). DOE has no 

responsibilities for the Southern Buffer 

Zone as it adjoins SSFL Areas I, II, and 

III. DOE does have responsibility for the 

cleanup of soils in the 290 acres of Area 

IV and in the 182-acre NBZ. Not all of 

the energy research conducted in Area 

IV was performed for DOE. Boeing has
