NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Number 40-6622]


Pathfinder Mines Corp.; Amendment of Source Material License

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Amendment of Source Material License SUA-442 to include 
reclamation milestone dates.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission has amended Pathfinder Mines Corporation's (PMC's) Source 
Material License SUA-442 to include reclamation milestone dates. This 
amendment was requested by PMC by its letter dated March 26, 1996, and 
the receipt of the request by NRC was noticed in the Federal Register 
on April 5, 1996.
    The license amendment adds License Condition 50 to include 
completion dates for various site-reclamation milestones. The schedule 
proposed by PMC and accepted by the NRC staff is as follows:
    (1) Windblown tailings retrieval and placement on the tailings 
pile, December 31, 1997.
    (2) Placement of an interim cover over tailings, December 31, 1997.
    (3) Placement of final radon barrier, December 31, 1999.
    (4) Placement of erosion protection, December 31, 2000.
    (5) Completion of groundwater corrective actions, December 31, 
2005.
    An environmental assessment is not required since this action is 
categorically excluded under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11), and an environmental 
report from the licensee is not required by 10 CFR 51.60(b)(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PMC's amended license, and the NRC staff's 
technical evaluation of the amendment request are being made available 
for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room at 2120 
L Street NW (Lower Level), Washington, DC 20555.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mohammad W. Haque, Uranium Recovery 
Branch, Division of Waste Management, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Telephone (301) 415-6640.
