NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Parts 13, 32, 50, 51, 55, 60, 72, and 110
RIN 3150-AF86
Minor Correcting Amendments
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; Technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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: November 3, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David L. Meyer, Chief, Rules and
Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of
Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC
20555-0001, Telephone (301) 415-7162.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is
amending the regulations in 10 CFR Parts 13, 32, 50, 51, 55, 60, 72,
and 110 to correct several miscellaneous errors in regulatory text.
These changes in CFR text are necessary because of errors that occurred
in the process of preparing and printing various rulemaking documents.
Because these are amendments dealing with agency 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). These
amendments are effective upon publication in the Federal Register. 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 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 3150-0001, 3150-0011,
3150-0021, 3150-0018, 3150-00127, 3150-0132, and 3150-0036.
Public Protection Notification
If a document used to impose an information collection does not
display a currently valid OMB control number, the NRC may not conduct
or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, the information
collection.
Backfit Analysis
The NRC has determined that the backfit rule, 10 CFR 50.109, does
not apply to this final rule and that a backfit analysis is not
required, because these amendments do not involve any provisions that
would impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR Chapter I.
