SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:Start Printed Page 62677

Background

Multiple amendments to NRC regulations have resulted in inconsistent guidance and outdated information for persons making electronic submissions to the NRC through the Electronic Information Exchange (EIE). The NRC is amending its regulations at 10 CFR parts 2, 4, 9, 11, 15, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 30, 40, 50, 51, 52, 55, 60, 61, 62, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 76, 81, 95, 100, 110, 140, 150, 170 and 171 to clarify this guidance and information. Specifically, this rule removes the various telephone numbers and corrects the Web site and e-mail addresses for obtaining detailed guidance. This rule also makes other miscellaneous corrections, as identified in the Summary of Changes section of this document.

Summary of Changes

Removal of Telephone Number (301) 415-0439

The telephone number (301) 415-0439 is no longer assigned to the EIE and has been removed from the following sections of the NRC's regulations: §§ 2.206(a), 2.802(a), 2.811(a), 2.813(a), 4.5, 9.6, 11.15(a)(1), 15.3, 19.17, 20.1007, 20.2203(d), 25.9, 30.6(a)(3), 40.5(a)(3), 50.4(a), 51.58(a), 55.5(a)(3), 60.4, 63.4(a)(3), 70.5(a)(3), 71.1(a), 72.4, 73.4(c), 74.6(c), 76.5(c), 81.3, 95.9(c), 110.4, 170.5, and 171.9.

Removal of Telephone Number (301) 415-6030

The telephone number (301) 415-6030 is no longer assigned to the EIE and has been removed from the following sections of the NRC's regulations: § 21.5, 26.11, 52.3(a), 61.4, 62.3, 100.4, 140.5, and 150.4.

Correction of Web Site Address

The NRC Web site address has been corrected in the following sections of the NRC's regulations: §§ 2.811(a), 2.813(a), 20.2203(d), 21.5, 26.11, 30.6(a)(3), 51.58(a), 52.3(a), 61.4, 62.3, 72.70(c)(1), 72.248(c)(1), 73.57(d)(3)(ii), 76.33(a)(1), 100.4, 140.5, and 150.4.

Change in Electronic Information Exchange (EIE) E-mail Address

The NRC's recent migration to Microsoft Outlook has resulted in a change in format for the e-mail address for EIE. The new e-mail address is incorporated into the following sections of the NRC's regulations: §§ 2.206(a), 2.802(a), 2.811(a), 2.813(a), 4.5, 9.6, 11.15(a)(1), 15.3, 19.17, 20.1007, 20.2203(d), 21.5, 25.9, 26.11, 30.6(a)(3), 40.5(a)(3), 50.4(a), 51.58(a), 52.3(a), 55.5(a)(3), 60.4, 61.4, 62.3, 63.4(a)(3), 70.5(a)(3), 71.1(a), 72.4, 73.4(c), 74.6(c), 76.5(c), 81.3, 95.9(c), 100.4, 110.4, 140.5, 150.4, 170.5, and 171.9.

Correction of the Spelling of “Evaluation”

The word “evaluation” is misspelled in the definition of Survey in 10 CFR Part 20. This spelling is corrected in § 20.1003.

Correction of References

On January 14, 2004 (69 FR 2182), the NRC published a final rule amending its regulations of practice to make the NRC's hearing process more effective and efficient. Section 51.28(c) currently references the requirements of §§ 2.714 and 2.715, which were relocated by the restructuring of the January 2004 rule. This rule amends the cross-references in § 51.28(c) to correctly refer to §§ 2.309 and 2.315.

Correction of Table Headings

On October 28, 2008 (73 FR 63546), the NRC published a final rule amending its regulations for the protection of Safeguards Information (SGI) to protect SGI from inadvertent release and unauthorized disclosure which might compromise the security of nuclear facilities and materials. The October 2008 rule added Appendix I to 10 CFR part 73, but incorrectly placed the abbreviations in the heading to the table. This rule would correctly place the abbreviation “(TBq)” under the heading “Terabecquerels.”

Conforming Change to Adjust for Inflation

On September 28, 2008 (73 FR 56451), the NRC published a final rule amending its regulations at 10 CFR part 140 to make the required inflation adjustments to the maximum total and annual standard deferred premiums in accordance with the Price-Anderson Act. The September 2008 rule adjusted the amount in § 140.11(a)(4) from $15 million to $17.5 million. This rule makes a conforming change in § 140.21.

Change in Division Name Due to Restructuring

The Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR) restructured several years ago, changing the Division of Nuclear Security into the Division of Security Policy and the Division of Security Operations. This rule replaces “Division of Nuclear Security” with “Division of Security Policy” in §§ 40.23, 40.64, 40.66, 40.67, 70.5, 70.20b, 70.32, 71.97, 73.4, 73.26, 73.27, 73.67, 73.71, 73.72, 73.73, 73.74, 76.5, and 150.17. This rule replaces “Division of Nuclear Security” with “Division of Security Operations” in §§ 95.9, 95.19, 95.20, 95.21, 95.36, 95.45, 95.53, and 95.57.

Rulemaking Procedure

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).

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 rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

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.).

Public Protection Notification

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.

Backfit Analysis

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.

Congressional Review Act (CRA)

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.
