1. On page 57718, in the first column, in the eighth paragraph, the 
sentence ``This final rule amends Sec.  52.110(e) to remove the 
incorrect reference to Sec.  50.2 and the introductory text of Sec.  
52.110(f) to remove the incorrect reference to Sec.  52.1, since 
neither reference contains a definition for ``decommissioning 
activities.'' is corrected to read ``This final rule amends the 
introductory text of Sec.  52.110(f) to remove the incorrect reference 
to Sec.  52.1, since the reference does not contain a definition for 
``decommissioning activities.''

2. On page 57721, in the first column, amendatory instruction 20 for 
Sec.  52.110 is corrected to read ``In Sec.  52.110, revise and

Sec.  52.110   [Corrected]

* * * * *
    (f) Licensees shall not perform any decommissioning activities, 
that--
    (1) Foreclose release of the site for possible unrestricted use;
    (2) Result in significant environmental impacts not previously 
reviewed; or
    (3) Result in there no longer being reasonable assurance that 
adequate funds will be available for decommissioning.
* * * * *
    (h)(1) Decommissioning trust funds may be used by licensees if--
    (i) The withdrawals are for expenses for legitimate decommissioning 
activities consistent with the definition of decommissioning in Sec.  
52.1;
    (ii) The expenditure would not reduce the value of the 
decommissioning trust below an amount necessary to place and maintain 
the reactor in a safe storage condition if unforeseen conditions or 
expenses arise; and
    (iii) The withdrawals would not inhibit the ability of the licensee 
to complete funding of any shortfalls in the decommissioning trust 
needed to ensure the availability of funds to ultimately release the 
site and terminate the license.
