NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Parts 1, 13, 20, 30, 32, 35, 40, 55, 70, 73, 110, and 140
[3150-AH82]
Minor Amendments
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its
regulations to correct several miscellaneous errors in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), update the address for Region III, and
remove all references to Subpart J in Parts 32 and 35. This document is
necessary to inform the public of these minor changes to NRC
regulations.
DATES: Effective Date: March 27, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alzonia Shepard, Office of
Administration, Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative
Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555-0001, Telephone (301) 415-6864; e-mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is amending the regulations in 10
CFR parts 1, 13, 20, 30, 32, 35, 40, 55, 70, 73, 110, and 140 to
correct several miscellaneous errors in regulatory text, update the
address for Region III, and remove all references to Subpart J in Parts
32 and 35. The miscellaneous errors in CFR text occurred in the process
of preparing and printing several rulemaking documents.
Because these amendments constitute minor administrative
corrections to the regulations, the notice and comment provisions of
the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B). The amendments are effective upon publication in the Federal
Register. Good cause exists under 5 U.S.C 553(d) to dispense with the
usual 30-day delay in the effective date of the final rule, because the
amendments are of a minor and administrative nature dealing with
corrections to certain CFR sections, which do not require action by any
person or entity regulated by the NRC. Nor does the final rule change
the substantive responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by
the NRC.
Summary of Changes
Removing All References to Subpart J
Subpart J in 10 CFR Part 35 expired on October 24, 2005. Thus,
Subject J is removed in its entirety. In addition, any references to
Subpart J (i.e., Sec. Sec. 35.900 through 35.981) are also removed. As
an example, in current Sec. 35.50(a)(2)(ii)(B), the phrase ``or,
before October 24, 2005, Sec. Sec. 35.920, or 35.930'' is removed.
The changes to remove references to Subpart J are made to the
following sections: Sec. 32.72(b)(2)(ii); Sec. 35.2, the definitions
of authorized medical physicist, authorized nuclear pharmacist,
authorized user, and Radiation Safety Officer; Sec. 35.8(b); Sec.
35.10(a), (b), (c); Sec. 35.13(b)(1), (2), (3); Sec.
35.50(a)(2)(ii)(B); Sec. 35.51(a)(2)(ii), (b)(2); Sec. 35.59; Sec.
35.100(b)(2); Sec. 35.190(b), (c)(1)(ii), (c)(2); Sec. 35.200(b)(2);
Sec. 35.290(b), (c)(1)(ii), (c)(2); Sec. 35.300(b)(2); Sec.
35.390(b)(1)(ii), (b)(2); Sec. 35.392(b), (c)(2), (c)(3); Sec.
35.394(b), (c)(2), (c)(3); Sec. 35.396(a), (b), (c), (d)(2); (d)(3);
Sec. 35.490(b)(1)(ii), (b)(2), (b)(3); Sec. 35.491(a), (b)(3); and
Sec. 35.690(b)(1)(ii), (b)(2), (b)(3).
Change Address of Region III, USNRC
The address of the NRC Region III office has been changed. The new
address is incorporated in the following sections: Sec. 1.5(b)(3),
Appendix D to Part 20, Sec. 30.6(b)(2)(iii), Sec. 40.5(b)(2)(iii),
Sec. 55.5(b)(2)(iii), Sec. 70.5(b)(2)(iii), and Appendix A to Part
73.
Additional Changes
1. Section 13.2 Definitions.
Definition of Statement: In paragraph (b)(1), replace ``;'' by
``,'' and in (b)(2), insert ``(i)'' in front of ``The authority, or''
and insert ``(ii)'' in front of ``Any State, * * *'' This change is to
clarify this paragraph.
2. Section 13.3 Basis for civil penalties and assessments.
In current paragraph (a)(1)(iii), (B) and (C) are in the same
subparagraph. In this final rule, (C) is separated from (B) to form a
new subparagraph. This change is to clarify this paragraph.
3. Section 13.8 Service of complaint.
In paragraph (a), replace ``under receipt'' by ``upon receipt.''
This change is to clarify this paragraph.
4. Appendix B of Part 20.
In the Table of Elements, replace ``Thalium'' by ``Thulium'' for
the element Tm with Atomic Number 69. This change is to correct a
typographical error.
5. Section 32.74 Manufacture and distribution of sources or devices
containing byproduct material for medical use.
In paragraph (a), add ``transmission'' after ``calibration.'' This
change is being made to correct the inadvertent omission of
``transmission'' from this regulation and conform this regulation to
the provisions in Sec. 35.65, Authorization for calibration,
transmission, and reference sources.
6. Section 35.2 Definitions.
Under the definition of Medical event, add ``or (b)'' after ``Sec.
35.3045(a).'' The words ``or (b)'' were inadvertently omitted.
7. Section 35.14 Notifications.
In current paragraph (b), a notification requirement was
inadvertently omitted. In Sec. 35.24, ``Authority and responsibilities
for the radiation protection program,'' paragraph (c) states: ``For up
to 60 days each year, a licensee may permit an AU * * * to function as
a temporary RSO * * *, if the licensee * * * notifies the Commission in
accordance with 35.14(b).'' However, current 35.14(b) does not contain
this notification requirement. Thus, to correct this oversight, the
notification requirement is added to Sec. 35.14(b) to conform to Sec.
35.24(c).
8. Section 35.49 Suppliers for sealed sources or devices for
medical use. Section 35.65 Authorization for calibration, transmission,
and reference sources.
In Sec. 35.49(b), add ``or an Agreement State medical use
licensee'' after ``a Part 35 licensee.'' This is to correct the
inadvertent omission of the reference to
[[Page 15006]]
Agreement State licensees in this paragraph.
Similarly, in Sec. 35.65(b), add ``or equivalent Agreement State
regulations'' after ``under Sec. 32.74 of this chapter.''
9. Section 35.290 Training for imaging and localization studies.
In paragraph (a)(1), replace ``uptake, dilution, and excretion
studies'' by ``imaging and localization studies.'' This is to correct a
typographical error and to conform this paragraph to the heading of
this section. Training for ``uptake, dilution, and excretion studies''
is specified under Sec. 35.190.
10. Section 35.390 Training for use of unsealed byproduct material
for which a written directive is required.
Section 35.396 Training for parenteral administration of unsealed
byproduct material requiring a written directive.
In paragraph 35.390(b)(1)(ii)(G)(3), add ``,'' after ``any beta
emitter.'' The comma was inadvertently omitted. Addition of the comma
clarifies that the phrase ``with a photon energy less than 150 keV''
applies only to photon-emitting radionuclides, not to any of the beta
emitters.
Similarly, in Sec. 35.696(d)(1), (d)(2), and (d)(2)(vi), add ``,''
after ``any beta emitter.''
11. Section 70.14 Foreign military aircraft.
Replace ``49 U.S.C. 1508(a)'' by ``49 U.S.C. 40103(d).'' This
change is to correct an error in citation to a statute.
12. Section 110.40 Commission review.
In paragraph 110.40(b)(7)(v), remove ``1,000 curies of tritium''
and add in its place ``37 TBq (1,000 curies) of tritium.'' This change
is to correct a typographical error in a prior amendatory instruction.
In a correction to a final rule entitled ``Export and Import of
Radioactive Materials: Security Policies: Correction,'' published on
August 9, 2005 (70 FR 46066), under Sec. 110.40, the amendatory
language stated: ``In Sec. 110.40, paragraph (b)(7)(iv) is amended by
removing `1,000 curies of tritium' and adding in its place `37 TBq
(1,000 curies) of tritium.' '' The reference to the paragraph was
inadvertently entered as (b)(7)(iv), rather than (b)(7)(v). This change
is being resubmitted to provide the correct amendatory instruction.
13. Section 140.21 License guarantees of payment of deferred
premiums.
In the introductory text, replace ``$10 million'' by ``$15
million.'' This change is to correct an error. In the Federal Register
notice published on October 27, 2005, regarding Price-Anderson Act
Financial Protection Regulations and Elimination of Antitrust Reviews,
``$10 million'' was inadvertently allowed to remain in the rule text,
rather than being changed to ``$15 million'' in conformity with the
statute.
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 new or amended information
collection requirements 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 3150-0014, 3150-0017,
3150-0001, 3150-0010, 3150-0020, 3150-0018, 3150-0009, 3150-0002, 3150-
0036, and 3150-0039.
Public Protection Notification
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a request for information of an information collection
requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid
OMB control number.
