This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Final rule; correcting amendments.
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.
December 14, 2001.
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 mtl@nrc.gov.
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 .
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.
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.).
A regulatory analysis has not been prepared for this final rule because the final rule makes corrections to the regulations.
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.
For the reasons set out in the preamble and under the authority of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended; the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended; and 5 U.S.C. 552 and 553, the NRC is adopting the following amendments to 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 32, 34, 50, and 51.
