NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Parts 1, 20, 30, 40, 70, and 73

RIN 3150-AF71


NRC Region II Telephone Number and Address Change

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its 
regulations to change the address and telephone number of the NRC 
Region II office. These amendments are necessary to inform the public 
of these administrative changes to the NRC's regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 28, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey Lankford, Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Region II, Atlanta, Georgia, (404) 331-4503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 28, 1997, the NRC will move its 
Region II office from 101 Marietta Street, NW., Suite 2900, Atlanta, 
Georgia 30323 to Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., Suite 
23T85, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. The telephone number will be changed 
from (404) 331-4503 to (404) 562-4400.
    Because this amendment deals with agency procedures, the notice and 
comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply 
pursuant to 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 dealing with a change in address 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 1995 
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing requirements were approved by the 
Office of Management and Budget, approval numbers 3150-0014, 3150-0017, 
3150-0020, 3150-0009, 3150-0002.

Public Protection Notification

    The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, an information collection unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.

Regulatory Analysis

    A regulatory analysis has not been prepared for this final rule 
because it is an administrative action that changes the address and 
telephone number of an NRC region.

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 that would impose a backfit as defined in Sec. 50.109(a)(1). 
Therefore, a backfit analysis is not required for this rule.
