NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 32, 34, 40, 50, and 51
RIN 3150-AG92
Minor Errors in Regulatory Text; Correction
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is publishing this
final rule to make a number of minor corrections to its regulations.
This rule is necessary to correct omissions, typographical errors, and
erroneous citations and references that appear in the NRC's
regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 14, 2001.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael T. Lesar, Chief, Rules and
Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of
Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC
20555, telephone 301-415-7163, e-mail [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule is necessary to correct omissions,
typographical errors, and erroneous citations and references that
appear in Title 10, Chapter I of the Code of Federal Regulations. This
rule also corrects an omission of text in a final rulemaking that was
originally published on April 12, 1999 (64 FR 17506)(Radiological
Criteria for License Termination of Uranium Recovery Facilities).
Because these amendments involve minor corrections to existing
regulations, the NRC has determined that notice and comment under the
Administrative Procedure Act 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A) and (B) is unnecessary
and that good cause exists to dispense with such notice and comment.
For these reasons, good cause also exists to dispense with the usual
30-day delay in the effective date. Therefore, the amendments are
effective upon their publication in the Federal Register.
Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion
The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action
described in categorical exclusion 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2). Therefore,
neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental
assessment has been prepared for this final rule.
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
This final rule contains no information collection requirements
and, therefore, is not subject to the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Regulatory Analysis
A regulatory analysis has not been prepared for this final rule
because the final rule makes corrections to the regulations.
Backfit Analysis
The NRC has determined that these amendments do not involve any
provision which would impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR
50.109(a)(1); therefore, a backfit analysis need not be prepared.
