NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Parts 2 and 110

RIN 3150-AF72


Facsimile Telephone Number and Address Change for the NRC's 
Office of the Secretary

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its 
regulations to change the name, address, and facsimile telephone 
numbers of the Docketing and Service Branch, Office of the Secretary. 
These amendments reflect the reorganization of the Office of the 
Secretary. These amendments are necessary to inform the public of these 
administrative changes to the NRC's regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 20, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emile L. Julian, Office of the 
Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-
0001, telephone (301) 415-1966.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 21, 1997, the NRC changed the name 
of the Docketing and Service Branch, to the Rulemakings and 
Adjudications Staff. The facsimile telephone numbers for the 
Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff were changed from (301) 415-2275 
and (301) 415-1672, to (301) 415-1101. The verification number has been 
changed from (301) 415-1977 to (301) 415-1966. Also, the e-mail address 
has been added. Current facsimile telephone numbers in use in the 
Office of the Secretary are still available.
    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 number 3150-0036.

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 office.

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.
