In the case where the licensee proposes to release a site pursuant to Subsection D of 20.3.4.426 NMAC, the Department will notify and solicit comments from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Relevant comments and questions received by the Department from various agencies and interested parties will be forwarded to the applicant for response. Correspondence associated with the application will be on file with the Radiation Control Bureau and will be available for inspection by the applicant and any other interested party.

The Department requires an applicant to provide a license termination plan or decommissioning plan, and other materials addressing, among other things, the public health, safety and environmental aspects for the termination of the license.

The Department will analyze the license termination application carefully. During this analysis, the application will be reviewed to ensure that there are no deficiencies, that the application meets all applicable requirements and that there is no reason to believe that the termination of the license will result in the violation of any laws or regulations. If the Department is so satisfied, it will grant the application for the termination of the license.
