Federal Register / Vol. 72, No.

that could result in cumulative
environmental impacts.
The NRC staff finds that the proposed
release of the Facility for unrestricted
use and the termination of the NRC
materials license is in compliance with
10 CFR 20.1402. Based on its review,
the staff considered the impact of the
residual radioactivity at the Facility and
concluded that the proposed action will
not have a significant effect on the
quality of the human environment.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
Due to the largely administrative
nature of the proposed action, its
environmental impacts are small.
Therefore, the only alternative the staff
considered is the no-action alternative,
under which the staff would leave
things as they are by simply denying the
amendment request. This no-action
alternative is not feasible because it
conflicts with 10 CFR 30.36(d),
requiring that decommissioning of
byproduct material facilities be
completed and approved by the NRC
after licensed activities cease. The
NRC’s analysis of the Licensee’s final
status survey data confirmed that the
Facility meets the requirements of 10
CFR 20.1402 for unrestricted release and
for license termination. Additionally,
denying the amendment request would
result in no change in current
environmental impacts. The
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and the no-action alternative are
therefore similar, and the no-action
alternative is accordingly not further
considered.
Conclusion
The NRC staff has concluded that the
proposed action is consistent with the
NRC’s unrestricted release criteria
specified in 10 CFR 20.1402. Because
the proposed action will not
significantly impact the quality of the
human environment, the NRC staff
concludes that the proposed action is
the preferred alternative.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
NRC provided a draft of this
Environmental Assessment to the
Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection for review on
August 24, 2007. On September 18,
2007, State of Connecticut, Department
of Environmental Protection responded
by electronic mail. The State agreed
with the conclusions of the EA, and
yshivers on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES
otherwise had no comments.
The NRC staff has determined that the
proposed action is of a procedural
nature, and will not affect listed species
or critical habitat. Therefore, no further
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:30 Oct 04, 2007 Jkt 214001
consultation is required under Section 7
of the Endangered Species Act. The
NRC staff has also determined that the
proposed action is not the type of
activity that has the potential to cause
effects on historic properties. Therefore,
no further consultation is required
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC staff has prepared this EA in
support of the proposed action. On the
basis of this EA, the NRC finds that
there are no significant environmental
impacts from the proposed action, and
that preparation of an environmental
impact statement is not warranted.
Accordingly, the NRC has determined
that a Finding of No Significant Impact
is appropriate.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
Summary: In accordance with the
requirement of Section 3506 (c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
yshivers on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:33 Oct 04, 2007 Jkt 214001
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Report of Medicaid State
Office on Beneficiary’s Buy-In Status;
OMB 3220–0185.
Under Section 7(d) of the Railroad
Retirement Act, the RRB administers the
Medicare program for persons covered
by the railroad retirement system. Under
Section 1843 of the Social Security Act,
states may enter into ‘‘buy-in
agreements’’ with the Secretary of
Health and Human Services for the
purpose of enrolling certain groups of
low-income individuals under the
Medicare medical insurance (Part B)
program and paying the premiums for
their insurance coverage. Generally,
these individuals are categorically
needy under Medicaid and meet the
eligibility requirements for Medicare
Part B. States can also include in their
buy-in agreements, individuals who are
eligible for medical assistance only. The
RRB uses Form RL–380–F, Report to
State Medicaid Office, to obtain
information needed to determine if
certain railroad beneficiaries are entitled
to receive Supplementary Medical
Insurance program coverage under a
state buy-in agreement in states in
which they reside. Completion of Form
RL–380-F is voluntary. One response is
received from each respondent.
At the request of various state
Medicaid offices, the RRB proposes
revisions to Form RL–380-F to add
items requesting a beneficiary’s Part A
and Part B effective date. The new
information will assist them in locating
pertinent records of the subject
beneficiary. Other minor non-burden
impacting editorial changes are
proposed. The estimated completion
time for Form RL–380-F remains
unchanged at 10 minutes per response.
The RRB estimates that approximately
600 responses are received annually.
Additional Information or Comments:

collection justification, forms, and/or
