SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a license 
amendment to Central Virginia Laboratories & Consultants, Inc. for 
Materials License No. 45-25198-01, to authorize release of its facility 
in Virginia Beach, Virginia, 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 Virginia Beach, Virginia facility for unrestricted use. 
Central Virginia Laboratories & Consultants, Inc. was authorized by NRC 
from June 16, 1992,

[[Page 33930]]

to use radioactive materials for environmental sample analysis purposes 
at the site. On November 9, 2004, Central Virginia Laboratories & 
Consultants, Inc. requested that NRC release the facility for 
unrestricted use. Central Virginia Laboratories & Consultants, 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 Central Virginia 
Laboratories & Consultants, 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 Central Virginia Laboratories & Consultants, 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 radiological 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). The 
staff also found that the non-radiological impacts are not significant. 
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.
