The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment a draft environmental assessment (EA) and draft finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for a proposed amendment of NRC source materials license SUB-1435 for the Jefferson Proving Ground (JPG) from "possession only for decommissioning" to "possession only." The proposed amendment of the U.S. Department of the Army (Army)'s license would also include an exemption from the NRC's decommissioning timeliness requirements in the regulations. The draft EA, "Draft Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Amendment of Materials License SUB-1435, Jefferson Proving Ground, Southeastern Indiana (Jefferson, Ripley, and Jennings Counties)," documents the NRC staff's environmental review of the license amendment application.
