NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 2

RIN 3150-AF25

 

Change in Organizational Title and Telephone Numbers

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is amending its regulations 
regarding petitions for rulemaking to indicate the current title of the 
organization within the NRC from which a prospective petitioner may 
seek consultation before filing a petition for rulemaking. This 
amendment also supplies the current telephone numbers for a prospective 
petitioner to contact the NRC before filing a petition for rulemaking.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 25, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael T. Lesar, Chief, Rules Review 
Section, 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) 
415-7163.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is revising the regulations in 10 
CFR Part 2 that pertain to filing of petitions for rulemaking to 
reflect a name change of the NRC organization from which a prospective 
petitioner may consult with the NRC before filing a petition for 
rulemaking. This action indicates that the name of the Regulatory 
Publications Branch, in the Division of Freedom of Information and 
Publications Services, Office of Administration, has been changed to 
the Rules Review and Directives Branch (RRDB). The current telephone 
number on which a prospective petitioner may directly contact RRDB is 
now (301) 415-7158. The public access toll free telephone number, (800) 
368-5642, is unchanged.
    Because this is an amendment dealing with agency practice and 
procedures, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative 
Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). The 
amendment is effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Good 
cause exists to dispense with the usual 30-day delay in the effective 
date because the amendment is of a minor and administrative nature 
dealing with a change to an organizational name and telephone number.

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 does not contain a new or amended information 
collection requirement subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing requirements were approved by the 
Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0036.

    Administrative practice and procedure, Antitrust, Byproduct 
material, Classified information, Environmental protection, Nuclear 
materials, Nuclear power plants and reactors, Penalties, Sex
