NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Parts 1, 20, 30, 40, 55, 70, and 73

RIN 3150-AI80
[NRC-2010-0083]


NRC Region II Address and Main Telephone Number Changes

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its 
regulations to update the street address for its Region II office and 
to update the main telephone number. The Region II office move and 
telephone number change will take effect on April 12, 2010. Also, the 
relevant regulations that govern communications are amended to reflect 
that Virginia is now an Agreement State. This document is necessary to 
inform the public of these changes to the NRC's regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective May 27, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judy G. Coleman, Deputy Director, 
Division of Resource Management and Administration, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, 245 Peachtree Center Avenue, NE., Suite 1200, 
Atlanta, GA 30303-1257, telephone 404-562-4824 or 404-997-4824, E-mail 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The NRC is amending its regulations at 10 CFR Parts 1, 20, 30, 40, 
55, 70, and 73 to update the NRC Region II office street address and 
office main telephone number. The physical location of the NRC Region 
II office has changed.
    Because these amendments constitute minor administrative 
corrections to the regulations, the Commission finds that the notice 
and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act are 
unnecessary and is exercising its authority under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to 
publish these amendments as a final rule. The amendments are effective 
30 days after publication in the Federal Register. These amendments do 
not require action by any person or entity regulated by the NRC. Also, 
the final rule does not change the substantive responsibilities of any 
person or entity regulated by the NRC.

Summary of Changes

Change in Street Address for Region II, USNRC

    The street address of the NRC Region II office has been changed. 
The new address is incorporated into the following sections of the 
NRC's regulations: Sec.  1.5(b)(2), Appendix D to 10 CFR Part 20, 
Sec. Sec.  30.6(b)(2)(ii), 40.5(b)(2)(ii), 55.5(b)(2)(ii), 
70.5(b)(2)(ii), and Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 73.

Change in Region II Main Telephone Number

    The telephone number for requesting NRC information has been 
changed. The new telephone number is incorporated into Appendix D to 10 
CFR Part 20 and Appendix to Part 73 of the NRC's regulations.

Virginia Is Now an Agreement State

    In Sec. Sec.  30.6(b)(2)(ii), 40.5(b)(2)(ii), and 70.5(b)(2)(ii), 
Virginia no longer appears because it is now an Agreement State.

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 rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    This final rule does not contain information collection 
requirements and, therefore, is not subject to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Public Protection Notification

    The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a request for information or an information collection 
requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid 
OMB control number.

Backfit Analysis

    The NRC has determined that the backfit rule does not apply to this 
final rule; therefore, a backfit analysis is not required for this 
final rule because these amendments are administrative in nature and do 
not involve any provisions that would impose backfits as defined in 10 
CFR Chapter I.

Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    Under the CRA of 1996, the NRC has determined that this action is 
not a major rule and has verified this determination with the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs of OMB.
