SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

The NRC is amending its regulations in parts 1, 2, 37, 40, 50, 51, 52, 55, 71, 72, 73, 74, 100, 140, and 150 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) to reflect internal organizational changes and conforming amendments. These changes include removing all references to the Office of New Reactors because that office has merged with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, changing the names of divisions that are affected by the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, and making conforming amendments throughout the regulations to reflect the office merger and the office reorganization. This document is necessary to inform the public of these non-substantive amendments to the NRC's regulations.

II. Summary of Changes

10 CFR Part 1

Remove Section. Section 1.44 is removed in its entirety because the Office of New Reactors has merged with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

10 CFR Parts 1, 2, 37, 50, 51, 52, 55, 73, 100, and 140

Remove Office Name. In §§ 1.32(b), 2.101, 2.102, 2.103, 2.105(e)(1), 2.106(a), 2.107(c), 2.108, 2.110, 2.318(b), 2.337(g), 2.340, 2.403, 2.603, 2.621, 2.629(a), 2.811(c), 37.7(a), 50.30(a), 50.55a(z), 50.61, 50.70(b), and 50.75(h), appendices G, H, and J to 10 CFR part 50, §§ 51.4, 51.40(c)(1), 51.58, 51.105(a)(5), 51.105a, 51.107(a)(5), 51.121(a), 52.15(a), 52.35, 52.75(a), 55.5, 73.4(a), 100.4, 140.5, and 140.6(a), this final rule removes all references to the Office of New Reactors and its director, because that office has merged with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

10 CFR Part 2

Correct Title Name and Division. In § 2.4, this final rule updates the definition of “Commission adjudicatory employee” by replacing the title Associate General Counsel for Licensing and Regulation to read as the Deputy General Counsel for Rulemaking and Policy Support. This title and division were renamed to reflect the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards and the merger of the Office of New Reactors with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

Remove Word and Phrases That Are No Longer Applicable. In §§ 2.101 and 2.340, this final rule removes the word “appropriate” and various iterations of the phrase “or as appropriate” when referring to the Director, because the reference is now to only one Director.

Correct Division Name. In § 2.802(b), this final rule corrects the title Division of Rulemaking to read as the Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support. The division was renamed during the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

Correct Division Name. In § 2.811(e), this final rule corrects the title Division of New Reactor Licensing to read as the Division of New and Renewed Licenses. The division was renamed when the Office of New Reactors merged with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

10 CFR Parts 2, 50, 51, and 52

Remove Office Name. In §§ 2.643(a), 50.10(e)(1), 51.107(d), 52.1(a), 52.91(a), and 52.155(a), this final rule removes all references to the Director of New Reactors (an erroneous version of the Director of the Office of New Reactors) because that office has now merged with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

10 CFR Parts 2 and 51

Correct Branch, Division, and Office Names. In §§ 2.811(e) and 51.121(d), this final rule corrects the titles Rules, Announcements, and Directives Branch and Rules, Announcements, and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, to read as the Regulatory Analysis and Rulemaking Support Branch, Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. The division was renamed during the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, the branch was relocated, and the branch name was not corrected following an earlier reorganization.

10 CFR Parts 40, 72, 73, 74, and 150

Correct Division Name. In §§ 40.64(a) and (b)(2), 72.76(a), 72.78(a), 73.46(i)(1), 74.13(a), 74.15(a), 150.16(a)(1), and 150.17(a), this final rule corrects the titles Division of Fuel Cycle Safety, Safeguards, and Environmental Review and Division of Fuel Cycle Safety Safeguards, and Environmental Review to read as the Division of Fuel Management. These two divisions were merged during the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

10 CFR Part 51

Correct Branch, Division, and Office Names. In § 51.40(c)(4), this final rule updates contact information and corrects the title Rules and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, to read as the Regulatory Analysis and Rulemaking Support Branch, Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. The division was renamed during the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, the branch was relocated, and the branch name was not corrected following an earlier reorganization.

10 CFR Part 55

Correct Division Name. In § 55.5(b)(3), this final rule corrects the title Division of Policy and Rulemaking to read as the Division of Advanced Reactors and Non-Power Production and Utilization Facilities. The division was renamed when the Office of New Reactors merged with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

10 CFR Part 71

Correct Division Name. In § 71.17(c)(3), this final rule corrects the title Division of Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation to read as the Division of Fuel Management. The division was renamed during the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

10 CFR Parts 71 and 72

Correct Division Name. In §§ 71.1(a), 71.95(c), 71.101(c)(1), 72.4, 72.16(a), and 72.44(f), this final rule corrects the title Division of Spent Fuel Management to read as the Division of Fuel Management. The division was renamed during the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

10 CFR Part 150

Correct Division Name. In §§ 150.16(a)(2) and 150.17(b)(2), this final rule corrects the title Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards to read as the Division of Fuel Management. The division was renamed during the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

III. Rulemaking Procedure

Under section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency may waive the requirements for publication in the ( printed page 65641) Federal Register of a notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for comment if it finds, for good cause, that it is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the NRC finds good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on these amendments because notice and opportunity for comment are unnecessary. The amendments will have no substantive impact and are of a minor and administrative nature dealing with corrections to certain CFR sections or are related only to management, organization, procedure, and practice. These changes include removing all references to the Office of New Reactors because that office has merged with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, changing the names of divisions that are affected by the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, and making conforming amendments throughout the regulations to reflect the office merger and the office reorganization. The NRC is exercising its authority under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) to publish these amendments as a final rule. The amendments are effective on December 30, 2019. These amendments do not require action by any person or entity regulated by the NRC and do not change the substantive responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by the NRC.

IV. Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion

The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action described in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2), which categorically excludes from environmental review rules that are corrective or of a minor, nonpolicy nature and do not substantially modify existing regulations. Therefore, neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment has been prepared for this rule.

V. Paperwork Reduction Act

This final rule does not contain a collection of information as defined in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and, therefore, is not subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

Public Protection Notification

The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the document requesting or requiring the collection displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

VI. Plain Writing

The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-274) requires Federal agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, and well-organized manner. The NRC has written this document to be consistent with the Plain Writing Act as well as the Presidential Memorandum, “Plain Language in Government Writing,” published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 31883).

VII. Backfitting and Issue Finality

The NRC has determined that the organizational changes and conforming amendments in this final rule do not constitute backfitting and are not inconsistent with any of the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. The changes and amendments are non-substantive in nature, including removing all references to the Office of New Reactors because that office has merged with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, changing the names of divisions that are affected by the reorganization of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, and making conforming amendments throughout the regulations to reflect the office merger and the office reorganization. The organizational changes and conforming amendments impose no new requirements and make no substantive changes to the regulations. The organizational changes and conforming amendments do not involve any provisions that would impose backfits, as defined in 10 CFR chapter I, or would be inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. For these reasons, the issuance of the rule in final form would not constitute backfitting or represent a violation of any of the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. Therefore, the NRC has not prepared any additional documentation for this rulemaking addressing backfitting or issue finality.

VIII. Congressional Review Act

This final rule is not a rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808).

IX. Agreement State Compatibility

Under the “Agreement State Program Policy Statement” approved by the Commission on October 2, 2017, and published in the Federal Register on October 18, 2017 (82 FR 48535), NRC program elements (including regulations) are placed into Compatibility Categories A, B, C, D, NRC, or Adequacy Category Health and Safety (H&S). Compatibility Category A program elements are those program elements that are basic radiation protection standards and scientific terms and definitions that are necessary to understand radiation protection concepts. An Agreement State should adopt Category A program elements in an essentially identical manner in order to provide uniformity in the regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis. Compatibility Category B program elements are those program elements that apply to activities that have direct and significant effects in multiple jurisdictions. An Agreement State should adopt Category B program elements in an essentially identical manner. Compatibility Category C program elements are those program elements that do not meet the criteria of Category A or B but contain the essential objectives that an Agreement State should adopt to avoid conflict, duplication, gaps, or other conditions that would jeopardize an orderly pattern in the regulation of agreement material on a national basis. An Agreement State should adopt the essential objectives of the Category C program elements. Compatibility Category D program elements are those program elements that do not meet any of the criteria of Category A, B, or C and, therefore, do not need to be adopted by Agreement States for purposes of compatibility. Compatibility Category NRC program elements are those program elements that address areas of regulation that cannot be relinquished to the Agreement States under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or provisions of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These program elements should not be adopted by the Agreement States. Adequacy Category H&S program elements are program elements that are required because of a particular health and safety role in the regulation of agreement material within the State and should be adopted in a manner that embodies the essential objectives of the NRC program.

The final rule is a matter of compatibility between the NRC and the Agreement States, thereby providing consistency among Agreement State and NRC requirements. The compatibility categories are designated in the following table. ( printed page 65642)
