NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Parts 20, 21, 30, 35, 40, 50, 70, 72, and 73

RIN 3150-AE84

 

NRC Operations Center Commercial Telephone Number Change

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its 
regulations to reflect a change in the NRC Operations Center commercial 
telephone and facsimile number. These amendments are necessary to 
inform the public of these administrative changes to the NRC's 
regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 31, 1994, 12 noon EDT.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean Trefethen, Office for Analysis 
and Evaluation of Operational Data, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington DC 20555, Telephone (301) 492-8985.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In June 1994, the NRC is scheduled to move 
its Operations Center from the Maryland National Bank Building in 
Bethesda, Maryland, to the Two White Flint North Building in Rockville, 
Maryland. When this move occurs, it will be necessary to use new 
telephone and facsimile numbers to reach the NRC Operations Center. For 
a minimum of 90 days following the move, calls made to the old 
telephone number will automatically transfer to the new Operations 
Center. NRC licensees shall revise their procedures and any other 
affected documentation to show the proper telephone and facsimile 
numbers for the NRC Operations Center. This notice is being published 
to inform the public and NRC licensees of the commercial telephone and 
facsimile number changes.
    Because this amendment deals with agency procedures, the notice and 
comment provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) do not 
apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). The amendment is effective 12 
noon EDT May 31, 1994.

Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion

    The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action 
described in categorical 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.).

Regulatory Analysis

    A regulatory impact analysis has not been prepared for this 
amendment because it is an administrative action that merely changes 
the telephone and facsimile numbers that are currently being used by 
licensees under the existing regulations.

Backfit Analysis

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