NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Part 50
[NRC-2001-0010]
RIN 3150-AG24
Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants;
Correction
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Final rule: correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 28, 2007 (72 FR 49352), the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) published a final rule revising the provisions
applicable to the licensing and approval processes for nuclear power
plants (i.e., early site permit, standard design approval, standard
design certification, combined license, and manufacturing license).
These amendments clarify the applicability of various requirements to
each of the licensing processes by making necessary conforming
amendments throughout the NRC's regulations to enhance the NRC's
regulatory effectiveness and efficiency in implementing its licensing
and approval processes. This document is necessary to include a
paragraph that was inadvertently omitted in that final rule.
DATES: The correction is effective June 3, 2008, and is applicable to
September 27, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects an inadvertent
omission in the Code of Federal Regulations by adding 10 CFR
