NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 71

[NRC-2016-0179]
RIN 3150-AJ85


Harmonization of Transportation Safety Requirements With IAEA 
Standards; Correction

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule and guidance; extension of comment period and 
correcting supplement.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting a 
document that was published in the Federal Register on September 12, 
2022, regarding changes to maintain a consistent regulatory framework 
with the U.S. Department of Transportation for the domestic packaging 
and transportation of radioactive material and to ensure general accord 
with International Atomic Energy Agency standards. This action is 
necessary to make corrections in the estimated burden for the 
information collection and to make other corrections. The public 
comment period on the amended information collection was originally 
scheduled to close on November 14, 2022. The NRC has decided to extend 
the public comment period for the information collection to allow more 
time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments; 
the extended comment period for the information collection now aligns 
with the end of the general period for public comment.

DATES: The due date of comments on the amended information collection 
requested in the document published on September 12, 2022 (87 FR 55708) 
is extended. Comments on the amended information collection should be 
filed no later than November 28, 2022, at the end of the general 
comment period. Comments received after this date will be considered, 
if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure 
consideration only for comments received on or before this date.

NRC about the availability of information for this action. Comment on

    The public comment period on the amended information collection was 
originally scheduled to close on November 14, 2022. The NRC has decided 
to extend the public comment period on the amended information 
collection until November 28, 2022, to allow more time for members of 
the public to submit their comments.
    The NRC is announcing the following corrected language to the 
proposed rule published at 87 FR 55708. On page 87 FR 55721, in the 
first full paragraph in the first column, ``mass limit of 140 g'' 
should read ``mass limit of 140 grams''. On page 87 FR 55725, in the 
first column, the number of respondents and the number of responses for 
the information collection are provided, ``An estimate of the number of 
annual responses: 7.5. The estimated number of annual respondents: 
6.5.'' should read ``An estimate of the number of annual responses: 
100. The estimated number of annual respondents: 99.'' On page 87 FR 
55725, in the first column, an estimate of the total hourly burden is 
provided: ``An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 1,376.7 hours'' should read ``An 
estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the 
requirement or request: 1,377 hours''.
    Additionally, on page 87 FR 55728, in the table in section XIX, 
``Document Availability,'' the document ``Regulatory Analysis for this 
proposed rule'' (ML22209A039) included several errors. The ``Regulatory 
analysis for this proposed rule'' (ML22209A039) document has been 
reposted to the

[[Page 65178]]

Federal rulemaking website to correct a publication error, restoring 
pages 48-55 and pages A-1-A-15 and an unnumbered last page.

    Dated: October 17, 2022.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
