NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 030-35334]


Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact and Availability of 
Environmental Assessment for License Amendment of Materials License No. 
29-30560-01, Linguagen, Corp., Paramus, NJ

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering the 
issuance of a license amendment to Linguagen Corp. for Materials 
License No. 29-30560-01, to authorize release of its facility in 
Paramus, 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 Paramus, New Jersey facility for unrestricted use. 
Linguagen Corp. has been authorized by NRC since April 13, 2002 to use 
radioactive materials for research and development purposes at the 
site. On January 3, 2003, Linguagen Corp. requested that NRC release 
the facility for unrestricted use. Linguagen Corp. has conducted 
surveys of the facility as required by 10 CFR part 20 and has 
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 Linguagen Corp.'s request and the 
results of the surveys and has concluded that the completed action 
complies with Subpart E of 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, 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.

the application for the license amendment and supporting documentation,
