NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Parts 19, 30, 51, 52, and 55

RIN 3150-AF42


Minor Correcting Amendments

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its 
regulations to correct several miscellaneous errors in the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR). This document is necessary to inform the 
public of these corrective changes to NRC regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 12, 1996.

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)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is amending the regulations in 10 
CFR Parts 19, 30, 51, 52, and 55 to correct several miscellaneous 
errors in regulatory text. These changes in CFR text occurred in the 
process of preparing and printing of rulemaking documents.
    In particular, under Sec. 30.72, Schedule C, the entry for C-14 
only applies to non-carbon dioxide forms. This rule was first published 
in the Federal Register on April 7, 1989 (54 FR 14051) and the 
explanatory note for C-14 in the table, as printed in the final rule, 
appears to read ``non CO,'' rather than ``non CO2.'' In a 
subsequent reprinting of Sec. 30.72 in the Code of Federal Regulations, 
this note was inadvertantly omitted. This correction replaces the 
explanatory note for the C-14 entry in the table.
    Because this is an amendment dealing with agency organization, 
practice, and procedure, 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 corrections to certain CFR sections.

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 1995 
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing requirements were approved by the 
Office of Management and Budget, approval numbers 3150-0044, -0017, -
0021, -0151, and -0018.
