SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    The NRC is amending its regulations in parts 2, 10, 26, 30, 40, 50, 
55, 61, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, and 100 of title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) to make miscellaneous corrections. The 
amendments include correcting a senior NRC management position title; 
correcting terminology for consistency in NRC regulations; and 
correcting contact information, references, typographical errors, and 
misspellings. This document is necessary to inform the public of these 
non-substantive amendments to the NRC's regulations.

II. Summary of Changes

10 CFR Part 2

    Contact Information Correction. This final rule changes the 
facsimile number for service of documents made upon the NRC staff from 
``301-415-3725'' to 301-415-3200.''

10 CFR Part 10

    Position Title Correction. This final rule removes all references 
to the incorrect position title ``Deputy Executive Director for 
Corporate Management and Chief Information Officer'' and replaces them 
with the correct position title ``Deputy Executive Director for 
Materials, Waste, Research, State, Tribal, Compliance, Administration, 
and Human Capital Programs.''

10 CFR Part 26

    Correct Terminology. This final rule removes all references to 
``blind samples'' and ``blind performance specimens'' and replaces them 
with ``blind performance test samples.''

10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 61, 63, 70, 72, and 100

    Correct Terminology. This final rule removes all references to 
``ground water'' and ``ground-water'' and replaces them with 
``groundwater.''

10 CFR Part 50

    Correct Reference. In Sec.  50.23, this final rule removes the 
incorrect reference ``Sec.  50.91'' and replaces it with the correct 
reference ``Sec.  50.92.''
    Correct Typographical Error. In Sec.  50.34(a)(3)(i), this final 
rule capitalizes ``Appendix'' at the beginning of the second sentence.
    Correct Misspelling. In section IV of appendix C, this final rule 
removes the misspelled term ``Commiasion'' and replaces it with the 
correct term ``Commission.''
    Correct Reference. In section II.A of appendix J, this final rule 
removes the incorrect reference ``Sec.  50.2(v)'' and replaces it with 
the correct reference ``Sec.  50.2.''

10 CFR Part 55

    Correct Misspelling. In Sec.  55.59(c)(3)(i)(G)(3), this final rule 
removes the misspelled term ``lead-rate'' and replaces it with the 
correct term ``leak-rate.''

10 CFR Part 71

    Correct Typographical Error. In Sec.  71.71(c)(1), this final rule 
changes the second column heading in the table from ``Total insolation 
for a 12-hour period (g cal/cm\2\'' to ``Total insolation for a 12-hour 
period (g cal/cm\2\).''

10 CFR Part 72

    Correct Reference. In Sec.  72.74(b), this final rule removes the 
incorrect reference ``Sec.  73.21(g)(3)'' and replaces it with the 
correct reference ``Sec.  73.22(f)(3).''

10 CFR Part 73

    Correct Misspelling. In Sec.  73.56(o)(2)(i), this final rule 
removes the misspelled term ``rtifying'' and replaces it with the 
correct term ``certifying.''

10 CFR Part 74

    Correct Reference. In Sec.  74.11(b), this final rule removes the 
incorrect reference ``Sec.  73.21(g)(3)'' and replaces it with the 
correct reference ``Sec.  73.22(f)(3).''

III. Rulemaking Procedure

    Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency 
may waive publication in the Federal Register of a notice of proposed 
rulemaking and opportunity for comment requirements if it finds, for 
good cause, that they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to 
the public interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the NRC 
finds good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on these 
amendments, because notice and opportunity for comment are unnecessary. 
The amendments will have no substantive impact and are of a minor and 
administrative nature dealing with corrections to certain CFR sections 
related only to management, organization, procedure, and practice. 
Specifically, the revisions include correcting a senior NRC management 
position title; correcting terminology for consistency in NRC 
regulations; and correcting contact information, references, 
typographical errors, and misspellings. The amendments do not require 
action by any person or entity regulated by the NRC, and do not change 
the substantive responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by 
the NRC.

IV. Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion

    The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action 
described in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2), which categorically excludes from 
environmental review rules that are corrective or of a minor, nonpolicy 
nature and do not substantially modify existing regulations. Therefore, 
neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental 
assessment has been prepared for this rule.

V. Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

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

Public Protection Notification

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

VI. Plain Writing

    The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-274) requires Federal 
agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, and well-organized 
manner. The NRC has

[[Page 86908]]

written this document to be consistent with the Plain Writing Act as 
well as the Presidential Memorandum, ``Plain Language in Government 
Writing,'' published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 31883).

VII. Backfitting and Issue Finality

    The NRC has determined that the amendments in this final rule do 
not constitute backfitting and are not inconsistent with any of the 
issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. The amendments are non-
substantive in nature, including correcting a senior NRC management 
position title; correcting terminology for consistency in NRC 
regulations; and correcting contact information, references, 
typographical errors, and misspellings. They impose no new requirements 
and make no substantive changes to the regulations. The amendments do 
not involve any provisions that would impose backfits as defined in 10 
CFR chapter I, or would be inconsistent with the issue finality 
provisions in 10 CFR part 52. For these reasons, the issuance of the 
rule in final form would not constitute backfitting or represent a 
violation of any of the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. 
Therefore, the NRC has not prepared any additional documentation for 
this correction rulemaking addressing backfitting or issue finality.
