DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
National Nuclear Security
Administration
Withdrawal of the Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement for the Operation of a
Biosafety Level 3 Facility at Los
Alamos National Laboratory, Los
Alamos, New Mexico
National Nuclear Security
Administration, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of intent; withdrawal.
AGENCY:

On November 29, 2005, the
National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA), a semiautonomous agency within the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE),
announced its intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
in accordance with National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) to evaluate the operation of a
Biosafety Level (BSL)–3 Facility at
LANL. NNSA has determined that, at
this point in time, it does not have a
need to operate a BSL–3 Facility at Los
Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), in
Los Alamos, New Mexico. Therefore,
NNSA is withdrawing the Notice of
Intent to prepare an EIS and is
terminating the NEPA EIS process.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Greg
Wolf, Deputy Director, Office of Public
Affairs, National Nuclear Security
Administration. Phone (202) 586–2561
or via email at gregory.wolf@
nnsa.doe.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NNSA
published a notice of intent to prepare
an EIS in the November 29, 2005, issue
of the Federal Register (70 FR 71490).
In 2002, NNSA prepared an
Environmental Assessment for the
construction and operation of the
Facility. On February 26, 2002, NNSA
issued an Environmental Assessment
and a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) for the construction and
operation of the BSL–3 Facility.
Construction on the windowless,
single-story, 3,200-square foot BSL–3
Facility, housing one BSL–2 laboratory,
and two BSL–3 laboratories began in
late 2002, and was completed in the fall
of 2003. After completion of the NEPA
process and BSL–3 Facility
construction, NNSA determined there
were seismic concerns that had not been
adequately analyzed during the design
of the BSL–3 Facility. As a result, in
February 2004, NNSA withdrew the
FONSI with respect to the operation of
the BSL–3 Facility and subsequently
decided to prepare an environmental
impact statement. The EIS would have

Federal action and reasonable

the NEPA EIS process.
