[Federal Register Volume 68, Number 121 (Tuesday, June 24, 2003)] [Notices] [Page 37573] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 03-15858] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 030-31141] Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact and Availability of Environmental Assessment for License Amendment of Materials License No. 29-23754-01, Nextran (Previously Known as DNX), Princeton, New Jersey I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering the issuance of a license amendment to Nextran for Materials License No. 29-23754-01, to authorize release of its facility in Princeton, New Jersey for unrestricted use and 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. II. EA Summary The purpose of the proposed action is to allow for the release of the licensee's Princeton, New Jersey facility for unrestricted use. Nextran (previously known as DNX) has been authorized by NRC since September 12, 1989, to use radioactive materials for research and development purposes at the site. On May 1, 2003, Nextran requested that NRC release the facility for unrestricted use. Nextran has conducted surveys of the facility and determined that the facility meets the license termination criteria in subpart E of 10 CFR part 20. III. Finding of No Significant Impact The NRC staff has evaluated Nextran's request and the results of the surveys and has concluded that the completed action complies with 10 CFR part 20. The staff has prepared the EA (summarized above) in support of the proposed license amendment to terminate the license and release the facility for unrestricted use. On the basis of the EA, the NRC has concluded that the environmental impacts from the proposed action are expected to be insignificant and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed action. IV. Further Information The EA and the documents related to this proposed action, including the application for the license amendment and supporting documentation, are available for inspection at NRC's Public Electronic Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (ADAMS Accession Nos.
