published in the Federal Register on September 27, 2006 (71 FR 56344). 
This direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations to clarify a 
requirement pertaining to items relied on for safety (IROFS). This 
rulemaking corrected an inconsistency in the regulations pertaining to 
IROFS.

is effective December 11, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 27, 2006 (71 FR 56344), the NRC 
published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its 
regulations in 10 CFR part 70 to clarify a requirement pertaining to 
items relied on for safety (IROFS). In the direct final rule, NRC 
stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the 
direct final rule would become final on December 11, 2006. 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 27th day of November, 2006.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
