NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Parts 1, 21, 30, 32, and 50

RIN: 3150-AE92

 

Minor Clarifying Amendments

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule corrects a number of minor typographical 
errors in NRC's regulations. These amendments are necessary to inform 
the public of the administrative changes to the NRC regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 7, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Meyer, Chief, Rules Review and 
Directives Branch, Division of Freedom of Information and Publications 
Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, DC 20555, telephone (301) 492-7211.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The amendments presented in this final rule 
are necessary to correct a number of minor typographical errors in the 
NRC's regulations.
    Because these amendments deal solely with agency practice and 
procedure, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Act 
Procedure do not apply under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). Good cause exists to 
dispense with the usual 30-day delay in the effective date because the 
amendments are of a minor and administrative nature.

Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion

    The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action 
described in categorial exclusion 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2). Therefore neither 
an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment has 
been prepared for this final rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    This final rule contains no information collection requirements and 
therefore is not subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Backfit Analysis

    The NRC has determined that the backfit rule, 10 CFR 50.109, does 
not apply to this final rule, and therefore, that a backfit analysis is 
not required for this final rule, because these amendments do not 
involve any provisions which would impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR 
50.109(a)(1).
