SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is amending its regulations in parts 1, 2, 20, 30, 40, 50,
55, 70, 73, and 170 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR). The NRC is making these amendments to correct an office title, a
reference, a misspelling, and two administrative errors, and to update
the street address for the NRC's Region I office.
II. Summary of Changes
10 CFR Parts 1, 20, 30, 40, 55, 70, and 73
Update Street Address. This final rule revises Sec. 1.5(b)(1),
appendix D to 10 CFR part 20, Sec. 30.6(b)(2)(i) and (ii), Sec.
40.5(b)(2)(i) and (ii), Sec. 55.5(b)(2)(i), Sec. 70.5(b)(2)(i) and
(ii), and appendix A to 10 CFR part 73 to update the street address for
the NRC Region I office.
10 CFR Part 2
Correct Office Title. This final rule amends the definition for
Commission Adjudicatory Employee in Sec. 2.4 by removing the text
``Deputy General Counsel for Rulemaking and Policy Support'' and adding
in its place the text ``Deputy General Counsel for Legislation,
Rulemaking, and Agency Administration.'' This change is made to reflect
the realignment of the NRC's Office of the General Counsel.
Correct Administrative Error. This final rule amends Sec.
2.101(a)(5) by removing ``an application for a construction permit
under part 52 of this chapter'' and adding in its place ``an
application for a construction permit under part 50 of this chapter or
a combined license under part 52 of this chapter.'' Applications for
construction permits are governed by 10 CFR part 50 and combined
licenses by 10 CFR part 52. This final rule amends Sec. 2.101(a)(5) to
correct this error.
10 CFR Part 50
Correct Reference. This final rule amends footnote 1 to Sec. 50.72
by removing the reference ``72.216'' and adding in its place the
references ``72.74, 72.75.'' Section 72.216 was deleted in a 2003 final
rule (68 FR 33611; June 5, 2003), and the immediate notification
requirements are currently contained in Sec. Sec. 72.74 and 72.75.
10 CFR Part 70
Correct Spelling. This final rule amends the introductory text of
Sec. 70.61(b) to remove the text ``paragrahs'' and add in its place
the text ``paragraphs.''
10 CFR Part 170
Correct Administrative Error. This final rule revises fee
categories B and D in table 1 to Sec. 170.21 to conform to a previous
rulemaking. The 2007 final rule, ``Licenses, Certifications, and
Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants'' (72 FR 49351; August 28, 2007),
added a new Sec. 52.153, ``Relationship to other subparts,'' to
explain how subpart F to 10 CFR part 52 relates to other licensing
processes in 10 CFR parts 50 and 52, as well as to the regulatory
approvals in 10 CFR part 52. The final rule removed the reference to
``preliminary or final'' design approvals contained in Sec. 52.153(b)
of the proposed rule, inasmuch as the final rule does not provide for
preliminary design approvals. Therefore, this final rule makes
conforming changes by revising fee categories B and D in table 1 to
Sec. 170.21 to remove the references to ``preliminary or final''
design approvals and replace them with references to ``standard''
design approvals. Fee category D is further revised to add a comma
after the word ``Amendment'' in ``Amendment, Renewal, Other Approvals''
for conformity and clarity.
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 an office title, a reference, a misspelling, and two
administrative errors, and update the street address for the NRC's
Region I office. 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 May 9, 2022. 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. Backfitting and Issue Finality
The NRC has determined that the corrections in this final rule
would not constitute backfitting as defined in Sec. 50.109,
``Backfitting,'' and as described in NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.4,
``Management of Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and
Information Requests.'' These corrections also would not constitute
forward fitting as that term is defined and described in MD 8.4 or
affect the issue finality of any approval issued under 10 CFR part 52.
The amendments are non-substantive in nature, including correcting an
office title, a reference, a misspelling, and two administrative
errors, and updating the street address for the NRC's Region I office.
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 this final rule would not constitute
backfitting or be inconsistent with 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.
[[Page 20695]]
V. 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
31885).
VI. National Environmental Policy Act
The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action
described in Sec. 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.
VII. 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.
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. Compatibility of Agreement State Regulations
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. Compatibility 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 20, 30, 40, and 70 are a matter
of compatibility between the NRC and the Agreement States, thereby
providing consistency among Agreement State and NRC requirements, and
are listed in the following table. The changes to 10 CFR parts 1, 2,
50, 55, 73, and 170 categories are not subject to Agreement State
jurisdiction and consequently are not required for compatibility.
