The

ENVIRONMENTAL

==

REVIEW

==

Based

==

on

==

the

==

Information

==

submitted

==

by

==

GA,

==

the

==

staff

==

has

==

determined

==

that

==

the

==

changes

==

to

==

the

==

license

==

are

==

related

==

to

==

decreased

==

operations

==

at

==

the

==

facility

==

resulting

==

from

==

the

==

proposed

==

overall

==

decommissioning

==

of

==

the

==

site.

==

Accordingly,

==

the

==

staff

==

has

==

determined

==

that

==

the

==

criteria

==

In

==

10

==

CFR

==

==

for

categorically

==

excluding

an

==

from

an

have

been

met.

Therefore,

neither

Statement

is

necessary

for

==

CONCLUSION

==

The

staff

==

concludes

==

that

==

GA's

==

request

==

to

==

reduce

==

licensed

==

activities

==

meets

==

regulatory

==

requirements

==

and

==

that

there

Is

reasonable

that
