    NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
    
    10 CFR Parts 13, 32, 50, 51, 55, 60, 72, and 110
    
    RIN 3150-AF86
    
    
    Minor Correcting Amendments
    
    AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
    
    ACTION: Final rule; Technical amendment.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its 
    regulations to correct several miscellaneous errors in the Code of 
    Federal Regulations (CFR). This document is necessary to inform the 
    public of these corrective changes to NRC regulations.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: November 3, 1997.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David L. Meyer, Chief, Rules and 
    Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of 
    Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
    20555-0001, Telephone (301) 415-7162.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is 
    amending the regulations in 10 CFR Parts 13, 32, 50, 51, 55, 60, 72, 
    and 110 to correct several miscellaneous errors in regulatory text. 
    These changes in CFR text are necessary because of errors that occurred 
    in the process of preparing and printing various rulemaking documents.
        Because these are amendments dealing with agency practice and 
    procedure, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative 
    Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). These 
    amendments are effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Good 
    cause exists to dispense with the usual 30-day delay in the effective 
    date because the amendments are of a minor and administrative nature 
    dealing with corrections to certain CFR sections.
    
    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 does not contain a new or amended information 
    collection requirement subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
    (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing requirements were approved by the 
    Office of Management and Budget, approval numbers 3150-0001, 3150-0011, 
    3150-0021, 3150-0018, 3150-00127, 3150-0132, and 3150-0036.
    
    Public Protection Notification
    
        If a document used to impose an information collection does not 
    display a currently valid OMB control number, the NRC may not conduct 
    or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, the information 
    collection.
    
    Backfit Analysis
    
        The NRC has determined that the backfit rule, 10 CFR 50.109, does 
    not apply to this final rule and that a backfit analysis is not 
    required, because these amendments do not involve any provisions that 
    would impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR Chapter I.
