Mr. Jerry Low, Contracting Officer U.S. Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command 1333 Isaac Hull Avenue, SE Washington Navy Yard 20376-0001
SUBJECT:
U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE PROPOSED UNRESTRICTED RELEASE FOR THE SURFACE SHIP SUPPORT BARGE SITE, CONTRACT N00024-20-C-4139 (EPID: M-2023-INS-0000)
Dear Jerry Low:
In accordance with the interagency agreement between the U.S. Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), NRC staff have completed review of the Surface Ship Support Barge (SSSB) Final Status Survey Reports (FSSRs) for twenty-nine surveys encompassing the land areas (paved and unpaved) and structures at the SSSB site. The request was submitted by NAVSEAs contractor, APTIM Federal Services, LLC (APTIM), in letters dated July 3, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML23186A045) and as submitted by letter dated July 28, 2023 (ADAMS Accession No. ML23207A230). These surveys detailed the results of twenty-nine final status surveys that generally followed the previously approved survey plan (ADAMS Accession No. ML22151A118).
As discussed in the enclosed technical evaluation report, NRC staff have determined that: (i) the remaining SSSB dismantlement has been performed in accordance with the Decommissioning Work Plan (DWP), (ii) the SSSB Final Status Surveys and associated documentation, including an assessment of dose contributions, demonstrate that the SSSB site where decommissioning occurred would meet the criteria for decommissioning in 10 CFR part 20, Subpart E, if the SSSB were a licensed facility, and (iii) APTIM would have met the requirements for forwarding of specific records to NRC prior to project completion, if APTIM were a licensee. The NRC concludes that the SSSB site would have met the requirements for termination of the SSSB site, if it were a licensed facility, and recommends that the Navy approve the unrestricted release of the SSSB site.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRCs ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

J. Low If you have any questions on this recommendation, please contact Amy M. Snyder at Amy.Snyder@NRC.gov, 301-415-6822.
Sincerely, Jane E. Marshall, Director Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery, and Waste Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Docket No. 99902091
