SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) is issuing a license amendment to 

Swatch Group (U.S.), Inc. for Materials 

License No. 29–30923–01, to authorize 

release of its facility in Lancaster, 

Pennsylvania for unrestricted use. NRC 

has prepared an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) in support of this 

action in accordance with the 

requirements of 10 CFR Part 51. Based 

on the EA, the NRC has concluded that 

a Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) is appropriate. The amendment 

will be issued following the publication 

of this Notice. 

II. EA Summary 

The purpose of the action is to 

authorize the release of the licensee’s 

Lancaster, Pennsylvania, facility for 

unrestricted use. Swatch Group (U.S.), 

Inc. was authorized by NRC from 

August, 1986, to use radioactive 

materials for manufacturing and 

distribution purposes at the site. On 

August 16, 2004, Swatch Group (U.S.), 

Inc. requested that NRC release the 

facility for unrestricted use. Swatch 

Group (U.S.), Inc. has conducted 

surveys of the facility and provided 

information to the NRC to demonstrate 

that the site meets the license 

termination criteria in Subpart E of 10 

CFR Part 20 for unrestricted use. 

The NRC staff has prepared an EA in 

support of the license amendment. The 

facility was remediated and surveyed 

prior to the licensee requesting the 

license amendment. The NRC staff has 

reviewed the information and final 

status survey submitted by Swatch 

Group (U.S.), Inc. Based on its review, 

the staff has determined that there are 

no additional remediation activities 

necessary to complete the proposed 

action. Therefore, the staff considered 

the impact of the residual radioactivity 

at the facility and concluded that since 

the residual radioactivity meets the 

requirements in Subpart E of 10 CFR 

Part 20, a Finding of No Significant 

Impact is appropriate. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The staff has prepared the EA 

(summarized above) in support of the 

license amendment to release the 

facility for unrestricted use. The NRC 

staff has evaluated Swatch Group (U.S.), 

Inc.’’s request and the results of the 

surveys and has concluded that the 

completed action complies with the 

criteria in Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 20. 

The staff has found that the 

environmental impacts from the action 

are bounded by the impacts evaluated 

by NUREG–1496, Volumes 1–3, 

‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement in Support of Rulemaking on 

Radiological Criteria for License 

Termination of NRC-Licensed Facilities’

(ML042310492, ML042320379, and 

ML042330385). On the basis of the EA, 

the NRC has concluded that the 

environmental impacts from the action 

are expected to be insignificant and has 

determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

action.
