[[Page 65658]]
III. Rulemaking Procedure
Under section 553(b) of 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 it is 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 is unnecessary. The amendments will have no
substantive impact and are of a minor and administrative nature dealing
with corrections to certain CFR sections or are related only to
management, organization, procedure, and practice. Specifically, the
revisions correct references, typographical errors, nomenclature,
titles, email addresses, footnote designation, and contact information.
The Commission is exercising its authority under 5 U.S.C.553(b) to
publish these amendments as a final rule. The amendments are effective
November 16, 2020. These 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
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 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 corrections 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 references, correcting an
address, and correcting a misspelling. They impose no new requirements
and make no substantive changes to the regulations. The corrections do
not involve any provisions that would impose backfits as defined in 10
CFR chapter I, or that 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.
VIII. Congressional Review Act
This final rule is not a rule as defined in the Congressional
Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808).
IX. Agreement State Compatibility
Under the ``Agreement State Program Policy Statement'' approved by
the Commission on October 2, 2017, and published in the Federal
Register on October 18, 2017 (82 FR 48535), NRC program elements
(including regulations) are placed into compatibility categories A, B,
C, D, NRC, or adequacy category Health and Safety (H&S). Compatibility
Category A program elements are those program elements that are basic
radiation protection standards and scientific terms and definitions
that are necessary to understand radiation protection concepts. An
Agreement State should adopt Category A program elements in an
essentially identical manner in order to provide uniformity in the
regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis. Compatibility
Category B program elements are those program elements that apply to
activities that have direct and significant effects in multiple
jurisdictions. An Agreement State should adopt Category B program
elements in an essentially identical manner. Compatibility Category C
program elements are those program elements that do not meet the
criteria of Category A or B, but contain the essential objectives that
an Agreement State should adopt to avoid conflict, duplication, gaps,
or other conditions that would jeopardize an orderly pattern in the
regulation of agreement material on a national basis. An Agreement
State should adopt the essential objectives of the Category C program
elements. Compatibility Category D program elements are those program
elements that do not meet any of the criteria of Category A, B, or C
and, therefore, do not need to be adopted by Agreement States for
purposes of compatibility. Compatibility Category NRC program elements
are those program elements that address areas of regulation that cannot
be relinquished to the Agreement States under the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended, or provisions of 10 CFR. These program elements
should not be adopted by the Agreement States. Adequacy category H&S
program elements are program elements that are required because of a
particular health and safety role in the regulation of agreement
material within the State and should be adopted in a manner that
embodies the essential objectives of the NRC program.
The portions of this final rule that amend 10 CFR parts 19, 20, 30,
34, 35, 40, 61, 70, and 71 are a matter of compatibility between the
NRC and the Agreement States, thereby providing consistency among
Agreement State and NRC requirements. The compatibility categories are
designated in the following table.
