10 CFR Part 110

RIN 3150-AH21


General License for Import of Major Nuclear Reactor Components

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the 
effective date of August 11, 2003, for the direct final rule that 
appeared in the Federal Register of May 28, 2003 (68 FR 31587). This 
direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations to issue a general 
license for the import of major components of utilization facilities 
for end-use at NRC-licensed reactors. This document confirms the 
effective date of the direct final rule.

DATES: The effective date of August 11, 2003, is confirmed for this 
direct final rule.

ADDRESSES: Documents related to this rulemaking, including comments 
received, may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, Room O-1F23, 
11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD. These same documents may also be

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Grace H. Kim, Senior Attorney, Office 
of the General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, 
DC 20555-0001, telephone (301) 415-3605, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 28, 2003 (68 FR 31587), the NRC 
published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its 
regulations in 10 CFR Part 110 to issue a general license for the 
import of major components of utilization facilities for end-use at 
NRC-licensed reactors. The amendment facilitates imports of major 
components of domestic nuclear reactors in furtherance of protection of 
public health and safety and reduces unnecessary regulatory burdens 
related to the maintenance of NRC-licensed reactors. In the direct 
final rule, NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were 
received, the direct final rule would become final on the date noted 
above. The NRC did not receive any comments that warranted withdrawal 
of the direct final rule. Therefore, this rule will become effective as 
scheduled.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of July, 2003.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Betty K. Golden,
Acting Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative 
Services, Office of Administration.
