SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
Pursuant to section 2.106 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of
renewal of a 10 CFR part 40 license, SUB-526, to Honeywell
International Inc. The license authorizes Honeywell to possess and use
source material, and sources used in gauges, in the operation of
uranium source conversion at its Metropolis Works Facility in
Metropolis, Il. This licensee's original request for a 40-year license
renewal was made on February 8, 2017. A notice of receipt of the
license renewal application with an opportunity to request a hearing
and petition for leave to intervene was published in the Federal
Register on June 19, 2017 (82 FR 27880). The NRC did not receive a
request for a hearing or for a petition for leave to intervene. The
license renewal application was subsequently revised and supplemented
by letters dated September 20, 2017, October 8, 2018, July 7, 2019 and
December 19, 2019. The December 19, 2019 version of the License Renewal
Application is a standalone document that integrates the information
provided in Honeywell's responses to the NRC staff's requests for
additional information.
An environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
were prepared for the proposed renewal of license SUB-526 for
Honeywell's uranium source conversion facility in Metropolis Il. A
Federal Register notice documenting the completion of NRC's
environmental review was published on October 16, 2019 (84 FR 55339).
This license renewal complies with the standards and requirements
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRC's rules and
regulations as set forth in 10 CFR Chapter 1. Accordingly, the license
renewal issued on March 24, 2020, was effective immediately. The NRC
prepared a safety evaluation report for the renewal of License SUB-
526,and concluded that the licensee can continue to operate the
facility without endangering the health and safety of the public and
will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment for
the duration of the license.
