SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering the 

issuance of an amendment to NRC 

Byproduct Materials License No. 24– 

32439–01, which is held by The 

Pharmacia Corporation (the licensee), a 

wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc. 

The issuance of the amendment would 

approve the licensee’s April 1, 2009, 

request (ML090920862) to release for 

unrestricted use its building located at 

645 South Newstead Avenue, St. Louis, 

Missouri (the Facility). 

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 April 1, 2009, license 

amendment request, resulting in the 

release of the Facility for unrestricted 

use consistent with the provisions of 10 

CFR Part 20, Subpart E. The licensee 

was issued License No. 24–32439–01 on 

April 08, 2004, pursuant to 10 CFR Part 

30, and the license has been amended 

periodically since that time. The license 

authorized the use of unsealed and 

sealed byproduct materials for 

conducting research and development 

activities, which included animal 

studies, gas chromatographs, and an 

irradiator. The Facility is a two storybuilding with an annex that contained 

research laboratories, offices, vivarium 

space, and other mechanical support 

areas. 

The licensee ceased licensed activities 

at the Facility during March 2009 and 

initiated a survey and decontamination 

activities there. Based on the licensee’s 

historical knowledge of the site and the 

Facility, the licensee determined that 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 118 / Monday, June 22, 2009 / Notices 29521 

only routine decontamination activities, 

in accordance with their NRC approved, 

operating radiation safety procedures, 

were required. The licensee was not 

required to submit a decommissioning 

plan to the NRC because worker cleanup 

activities and procedures are consistent 

with those approved for routine 

operations. The licensee conducted 

surveys of the Facility and provided 

information to the NRC to demonstrate 

that it meets the criteria in Subpart E of 

10 CFR Part 20 for unrestricted release. 

The licensee will continue licensed 

operations at two other locations 

authorized by License No. 24–32439–01. 

Need for the Proposed Action 

The licensee has ceased conducting 

licensed activities at the Facility, and 

seeks its unrestricted use. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Actions 

The licensee’s historical review, 

determined that hydrogen-3 and carbon14 were the only radionuclides with 

half-lives greater than 120 days used in 

the Facility. Prior to performing the 

final status survey, the licensee 

conducted decontamination activities, 

as necessary, in the areas of the Facility 

where by hydrogen-3 and carbon-14 was 

used. 

The final status survey of the Facility 

was performed during March 2009. The 

final status survey report was attached 

to the Licensee’s amendment request 

dated April 1, 2009 (ML090920862). 

The licensee elected to demonstrate 

compliance with the radiological 

criteria for unrestricted release as 

specified in 10 CFR 20.1402 by using 

the screening approach described in 

NUREG–1757, ‘‘Consolidated 

Decommissioning Guidance, 

Decommissioning Process for Material 

Licensees’’ Volume 1 (ML063000243). 

The licensee used the radionuclidespecific derived concentration guideline 

levels (DCGLs) developed by the NRC, 

which conservatively comply with the 

dose criterion in 10 CFR 20.1402. These 

DCGLs define the maximum amount of 

residual radioactivity on building 

surfaces, equipment, and materials that 

will satisfy the NRC requirement in 

Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 20 for 

unrestricted release. The licensee’s final 

status survey results were below these 

DCGLs 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 

NRC–Licensed 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 the docket file records and the 

final status survey report 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 the proposed 

release of the Facility for unrestricted 

use is in compliance with 10 CFR 

20.1402. 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 environment. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

Due to the largely administrative 

nature of the proposed action, its 

environmental impacts are small. 

Therefore, the only alternative the staff 

considered is the no-action alternative, 

under which the staff would leave 

things as they are by simply denying the 

amendment request. This no-action 

alternative is not feasible because it 

conflicts with 10 CFR 30.36(d) requiring 

that decommissioning of byproduct 

material facilities be completed and 

approved by the NRC after licensed 

activities cease. The NRC’s analysis of 

the licensee’s final status survey data 

confirmed that the Facility meets the 

requirements of 10 CFR 20.1402 for 

unrestricted release. Additionally, 

denying the amendment 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. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

NRC provided a draft of this 

Environmental Assessment to the 

Missouri Department of Health and 

Senior Services for review on June 1, 

2009. The State responded by email on 

June 1, 2009, and agreed with the 

conclusions of the EA, and otherwise 

had no comments. 

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 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. 

Conclusion 

The NRC staff has concluded that the 

proposed action is consistent with the 

NRC’s unrestricted release criteria 

specified in 10 CFR 20.1402. Because 

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. 

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.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Agency Forms Submitted for OMB 

Review, Request for Comments 

Summary: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad 

Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding 

an Information Collection Request (ICR) 

to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

request a revision to a currently 

approved collection of information. Our 

ICR describes the information we seek 

to collect from the public. Review and 

approval by OIRA ensures that we 

impose appropriate paperwork burdens. 

The RRB invites comments on the 

proposed collections of information to 

determine (1) the practical utility of the 

collections; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden of the collections; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information that is the 

subject of collection; and (4) ways to 

minimize the burden of collections on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments to RRB or OIRA must contain 

the OMB control number of the ICR. For 

proper consideration of your comments, 

it is best if RRB and OIRA receive them 

within 30 days of publication date. 

Application for Survivor Death 

Benefits; OMB 3220–0032 

Under Section 6 of the Railroad 

Retirement Act (RRA), benefits that may 

be due on the death of a railroad 

employee or a survivor annuitant 

include (1) a lump-sum death benefit, 

(2) a residual lump-sum payment, (3) 

accrued annuities due but unpaid at 

death, and (4) monthly survivor 

insurance payments. The requirements 

for determining the entitlement of 

possible beneficiaries to these benefits 

are prescribed in 20 CFR part 234. 

When the RRB receives notification of 

the death of a railroad employee or 

survivor annuitant, an RRB field office 

utilizes Form RL–94–F, Survivor 

Questionnaire, to secure additional 

information from surviving relatives 

needed to determine if any further 

benefits are payable under the RRA. 

Completion is voluntary. One response 

is requested of each respondent. The 

completion time for the RL–94–F is 

estimated at between 5 to 11 minutes. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (74 FR 10971 on March 

13, 2009) required by 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2). That request elicited no 

comments. 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

Title: Survivor Questionnaire. 

OMB Control Number: OMB 3220– 

0032. 

Form(s) submitted: RL–94–F. 

Expiration date of current OMB 

clearance: 6/30/2009. 

Type of request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected public: Individuals or 

households. 

Abstract: Under Section 6 of the 

Railroad Retirement Act, benefits are 

payable to the survivors or the estates of 

deceased railroad employees. The 

collection obtains information about the 

survivors if any, the payment of burial 

expenses and administration of estate 

when unknown to the Railroad 

Retirement Board. The information is 

used to determine whether and to whom 

benefits are payable. 

Changes Proposed: The RRB proposes 

non-burden impacting editorial changes 

to Form RL–94–F. 

The total burden estimate for the ICR 

is as follows: 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 8,000. 

Total annual responses: 8,000. 

Total annual reporting hours: 1,391.
