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Reduction Act of 1980 in the NRC's regulations (which are contained in various parts throughout 10 CFR Chapter 1) are outdated.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.).
