SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting a
final rule that was published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2012
(77 FR 39899), and effective on August 6, 2012. That final rule amended
the NRC regulations to make technical corrections, including updating
the street address for the Region I office, correcting authority
citations and typographical and spelling errors, and making other edits
and conforming changes. This correcting amendment is necessary to
correct the statutory authority that is cited in one of the authority
citations in the final rule.
DATES: The correction is effective on December 5, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 6, 2012 (77 FR 39899), the NRC
published a final rule in the Federal Register amending its regulations
to make technical corrections. This document is necessary to correct
the statutory authority that is cited in the authority citation for
part 171 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). The
authority citation for 10 CFR part 171 referred to section 6101 of the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. The authority citation
should refer to section 7601 of the Act.

Rulemaking Procedure
Because this amendment constitutes a minor technical correction to
the NRC's regulations and the authority citation for the prior
technical corrections rulemaking, 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)(3)(B)
to publish these amendments as a final rule. 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.
