SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering the 

issuance of a license renewal to 

Materials License No. 45–09599–01. 

This license is held by Old Dominion 

University (Licensee) in Norfolk, 

Virginia. As part of its license renewal, 

the Licensee has requested an 

exemption from the requirement in 10 

CFR 30.32(g) to list sealed sources by 

their manufacturer and model number 

as registered under the provisions of 10 

CFR 32.210. The Licensee requested this 

exemption in a letter dated December 

13, 2005. 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 license 

renewal, including the approval of the 

exemption request, 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 renew 

License No. 45–09599–01, including 

approval of the Licensee’s request for 

exemption submitted on December 13, 

2005. License No. 45–09599–01 was 

issued on September 11, 1979, pursuant 

to 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, and 70, and has 

been amended periodically since that 

time. This license authorized the 

Licensee for research and development 

as defined in 10 CFR 30.4, animal 

studies, teaching and training of 

students, and calibration and checking 

of the licensee’s instruments. 

On October 11, 2005, the Licensee 

submitted its renewal application for 

License No. 45–09599–01. In a letter 

dated December 13, 2005, submitted in 

response to an inquiry from the NRC, 

the Licensee requested an exemption 

from the requirement in 10 CFR 30.32(g) 

to list sealed sources by their 

manufacturer and model number as 

registered under the provisions of 10 

CFR 32.210. In requesting this 

exemption, the Licensee stated that one 

of the sources in its inventory is a 

custom-made encapsulated sealed 

source containing 60 mCi of Eu–155 

which has been in its possession since 

1982 and has no model number. 

Need for the Proposed Action 

The licensee has possessed and used 

this custom source safely for many 

years. This exemption is needed to 

authorize the Licensee to continue to 

possess this source. 

Technical Analysis of the Proposed 

Action 

10 CFR 30.11(a) states that the 

Commission may grant such exemptions 

from the requirements of the regulations 

as it determines are authorized by law 

and will not endanger life or property or 

the common defense and security and 

are otherwise in the public interest. The 

NRC staff has analyzed the Licensee’s 

request to be authorized to receive and 

take possession of sealed sources and 

devices which have not been registered 

with the NRC under 10 CFR 32.210 or 

with an Agreement State. The NRC staff 

considered that the Licensee is qualified 

by sufficient training and experience 

and has sufficient facilities and 

equipment to handle these sources and 

devices. Furthermore, NRC inspections 

have evaluated the Licensee’s 

performance and determined that the 

Licensee has safely handled this 

unregistered source for many years. 

Accordingly, the NRC staff has 

concluded that granting this exemption 

is authorized by law, will not endanger 

life or property or the common defense 

and security, and is in the public 

interest. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The proposed action is largely 

administrative in nature. Approving this 

exemption will have no environmental 

impact.

53908 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 17, 2008 / Notices 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

Due to the largely administrative 

nature of the proposed action, its 

environmental impacts are small. 

Additionally, denying the exemption 

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 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 

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. 

IV. Further Information 

Documents related to this action, 

including the application for exemption 

and supporting documentation, are

Electronic Reading Room at http://
