SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 
is providing notice that it is terminating license 19-10306-02 for the 
U.S. Department of the Army, (Army or licensee), and releasing the 
Building 7304 (Vault) property in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, for 
unrestricted use. The Army's request for an amendment to authorize 
decommissioning of its former radioactive waste storage facility in 
Fort Belvoir, Virginia, was previously noticed in the Federal Register 
on December 28, 2004 (69 FR 77779), with a notice of an opportunity to 
request a hearing.
    The Army provided a final radiological status survey to demonstrate 
the site meets the license termination criteria in subpart E of 10 CFR 
part 20. In addition, NRC staff conducted independent in-process 
measurements of residual contamination remaining at the site.
    The NRC staff has evaluated the Army's request, has reviewed the 
results of the final radiological survey, has performed in-process 
confirmatory measurements throughout the site property, and has 
determined that the site cleanup meets the unrestricted release dose 
criteria in 10 CFR 20.1402. The Commission has concluded that the site 
is suitable for release for unrestricted use, and has terminated the 
license for the Fort Belvoir, Virginia property. The staff prepared a 
Safety Evaluation Report (SER) to support the proposed action.
