NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Chapter 1

RIN 3150-AF69


Information Collection Requirements: Statutory and Technical 
Amendments

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its 
regulations that implement the Paperwork Reduction Act to make changes 
required by statute and to make technical correcting amendments.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is October 6, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pamela Urban, Office of the General 
Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-
0001, telephone (301) 415-1619.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 was replaced in its entirety by 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-13, 109 Stat. 163 
(codified at 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). As a result of the enactment of 
the 1995 Act, all references to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 in 
the NRC's regulations (which are contained in various parts throughout 
10 CFR Chapter 1) are outdated. In addition, certain other conforming 
changes described below need to be made.
    Specifically, any NRC regulation that requires a ``collection of 
information'' contains a statement that the information collection 
requirements in that part have been submitted to, and approved by, the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), ``as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1980''. Further, any NRC regulation that does not 
require a collection of information contains a statement that the 
particular part is ``not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1980''. The NRC is substituting the term: ``Paperwork Reduction Act'' 
in its regulations for the term ``Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980''.
    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 contains a provision that 
requires the inclusion of a ``public protection notification'' 
statement in all collections of information. Because of the statutory 
change, the NRC is adding a statement to paragraph (a) in all sections 
of 10 CFR (Parts 0-199) entitled: ``Information collection 
requirements: OMB approval,'' as follows: ``The NRC may not conduct or 
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.''
    The NRC is making technical amendments to paragraphs (b) and (c) of 
various sections in 10 CFR (Parts 0-199) entitled: ``Information 
collection requirements: OMB approval.'' These amendments are being 
made in--
    (1) Paragraph (b) to correct the citations that refer to the 
specific sections which contain information collection requirements; 
and
    (2) Paragraph (c) to correct references to control numbers or form 
numbers for additional information collection approvals.

Publication in Final

    The NRC has determined that this rulemaking need not be published 
as a proposed rule, as generally required by the Administrative 
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553. The portion of this rulemaking that 
reflects agency organization, procedure, and practice is exempt under 
section 553(b)(A) of the APA. For the portion of this rulemaking that 
makes amendments required by statute and technical amendments and 
corrections, there is good cause for finding that notice and public 
procedure is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest, pursuant 
to section 553(b)(B) of the APA.

Effective Date

    The NRC has determined that good cause exists for waiving the 
customary requirement for delay in the effective date of a final rule 
for 30 days following its publication since this rule is technical and 
nonsubstantive; merely reflects agency organization, practice, and 
procedure; and makes amendments required by statute and technical 
amendments. Therefore, these amendments shall be effective upon 
publication. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).

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 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).

List of Subjects in 10 CFR Parts 4, 9, 11, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 30, 31,

    Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2201), as amended; the Energy 
Reorganization Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5841), as amended; and 5 U.S.C.
