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.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to update the street address for its Region IV office, and to update a telephone number and e-mail address for the Office of Information Services (OIS). This document is necessary to inform the public of these changes to the NRC's regulations.
Effective date: This rule is effective May 28, 2008.
Angella Love Blair, Rulemaking, Directives and Editing Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone 301-415-5661, e-mail angella.love-blair@nrc.gov.
The NRC is amending its regulations at 10 CFR parts 1, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 52, 55, 60, 61, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 76 to update the street address for the NRC Region IV office, and to update a telephone number and e-mail address for OIS. The physical location for the NRC Region IV office has not changed; the street address change is necessary because of local road construction. This rule also updates the internal addressee for the NRC Region IV office due to reorganization.
Because these amendments constitute minor administrative corrections to the regulations, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). The amendments are effective upon publication in the Federal Register . Good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) to dispense with the usual 30-day delay in the effective date of the final rule, because the amendments are of a minor and administrative nature dealing with corrections to certain CFR sections. These amendments do not require action by any person or entity regulated by the NRC, and the final rule does not change the substantive responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by the NRC.
The street address of the NRC Region IV office has been changed. The new address is incorporated into the following sections of the NRC's regulations: § 1.5(b)(4), Appendix D to 10 CFR part 20, § 30.6(b)(2)(iv), § 40.5(b)(2)(iv), § 55.5(b)(2)(iv), § 70.5(b)(2)(iv), and Appendix A to 10 CFR part 73.
Due to reorganization in the NRC Region IV, the appropriate internal addressee is the Division of Nuclear Materials Safety. The new name is incorporated into the following sections of the NRC's regulations: § 30.6(b)(2)(iv), § 40.5(b)(2)(iv), and § 70.5(b)(2)(iv).
The OIS telephone number for requesting NRC forms has been changed. The new telephone number is incorporated into the following sections of the NRC's regulations: Appendix G to 10 CFR part 20, § 30.7(e)(3), § 40.7(e)(3), § 50.7(e)(2), § 55.23, § 55.31(a)(1), § 60.9(e)(2), § 61.9(e)(2), § 63.9(e)(2), § 70.7(e)(3), § 71.9(e)(2), § 72.10(e)(2), § 73.57(d)(1), and § 76.7(e)(3).
The OIS e-mail address for requesting NRC forms has been changed. The new e-mail address is incorporated into the following sections of the NRC's regulations: § 19.11(e)(2), § 30.7(e)(3), § 40.7(e)(3), § 50.7(e)(2), § 52.5(e)(2), § 60.9(e)(2), § 61.9(e)(2), § 63.9(e)(2), § 70.7(e)(3), § 71.9(e)(2), § 72.10(e)(2), § 73.57(d)(1), and § 76.7(e)(3).
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 rule.
This final rule does not contain information collection requirements and, therefore, is not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The NRC has determined that the backfit rule does not apply to this final rule; therefore, a backfit analysis is not required for this final rule because these amendments are administrative in nature and do not involve any provisions that would impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR Chapter I.
In accordance with the CRA of 1996, the NRC has determined that this action is not a major rule and has verified this determination with the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of OMB.
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 1, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 52, 55, 60, 61, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 76.
