    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Introduction

    The NRC is amending its regulations at Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) parts 2, 10, 20, 25, 26, 30, 34, 40, 50, 54, 70, 71, 72, 95, 110, and 150 to make miscellaneous administrative changes, including an update of the list of Agreement and Non-Agreement States, the merging of the Region II materials program with that of Region I, the correction of office titles associated with the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards and the Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs, the inclusion of references to new E.O. 13526, and other edits, corrections, and conforming changes.

    Summary of Changes

    Include Electronic Watermarks to Denote Proprietary Content

    In § 2.390(b)(1)(i)(A) and (b)(1)(i)(B), the language is revised to include electronic watermarks to denote proprietary content. Current regulations at § 2.390(b)(1)(i)(A) and (b)(1)(i)(B) currently require proprietary marking at the top of the first page, and on succeeding, affected pages, either adjacent to the material sought to be withheld from public disclosure, or at the top of the page, if the entire page is sought to be withheld. At the time the regulations were written, information technology alternatives, such as electronic watermarks, were not in common use, if the technology was available at all. Various alternatives such as electronic watermark, margin notation, or other suitable markings may now be available to denote proprietary content, and would be acceptable as being completely within the spirit of the regulations, since the goal of the regulations is simply to ensure that there is notice of proprietary content to whoever is handling the document and not to be unnecessarily prescriptive, either as to methodology or terminology.

    Update the List of Non-Agreement States

    In §§ 30.6(b)(2)(i), 40.5(b)(2)(i), and 70.5(b)(2)(i), Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New Jersey no longer appear because they are Agreement States. In §§ 30.6(b)(2)(iii)(B), 40.5(b)(2)(iii)(B), and 70.5(b)(2)(iii)(B), Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota no longer appear because they are Agreement States and in §§ 30.6(b)(2)(iv)(B), 40.5(b)(2)(iv)(B), and 70.5(b)(2)(iv)(B), Oklahoma no longer appears because it is an Agreement State.

    Add a List of Mining and Milling Agreement States

    In §§ 30.6(b)(2)(iii)(A), 40.5(b)(2)(iii)(A), and 70.5(b)(2)(iii)(A), Illinois and Ohio are now properly identified as mining and milling Agreement States and in §§ 30.6(b)(2)(iv)(A), 40.5(b)(2)(iv)(A), and 70.5(b)(2)(iv)(A), Colorado, Utah, Texas and Washington are also identified as mining and milling Agreement States. This addition was made to highlight those Agreements States who selected oversight authority concerning this type of regulation.

    Amend Relevant Sections to Identify That Region II's Materials Program Has Been Merged Into That of Region I

    The contact information for material licensees has been updated in §§ 30.6(b)(2)(ii), 40.5(b)(2)(ii), 70.5(b)(2)(ii) to reflect Region I because Region II's materials program has been merged into that of Region I.

    Remove Obsolete Text

    Sections 30.37, 40.43, and 70.33 are revised to remove obsolete text, contained in paragraph (b) of each section, that is related to a final rule published on January 16, 1996 (61 FR Start Printed Page 739361109). The final rule provided, on a one-time basis, a five-year extension for certain licenses. Those license extensions are now expired.

    Correct Office Title Associated with the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards

    The office title “Spent Fuel Project Office” is corrected to “Division of Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation” in §§ 71.1, 71.17(c)(3), 71.95(c), 71.101(c), 72.4, 72.16(a), 72.44(f), and 72.186(b).

    Use the Formal Title for the Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs

    Section 71.97(c)(3)(iii) is revised to change the office title from “Office of State Programs” to “Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs”.

    Remove Text for an Exemption that Expired on October 18, 2004

    In a petition for rulemaking (PRM) submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute on April 16, 2008 (PRM-70-8; Docket ID NRC-2009-0184), the petitioner requested removal of the exemption in the introductory text to Appendix A to 10 CFR part 70 because this exemption expired on October 18, 2004. The NRC agrees with the petitioner and the text is removed.

    Correct Column Heading in Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 20

    In the second table that appears in Appendix B to 10 CFR part 20, the heading for the second column of Table 1 which reads “μCi/ml” is corrected to read “μCi”.

    Correct to Use the Defined Term “Watchman”

    In § 26.4(a)(5), the term “watchperson” is replaced with the defined term “watchman”.

    Correct the Spelling of the Word “Measures”

    In § 50.70(b)(3), the spelling of the word “measures” is corrected.

    Remove References to Information Collections

    In § 34.8(b), the reference to § 34.53 is removed because it does not contain any information collections. In § 71.6(b), the reference to § 71.20 is removed because the information collection in that section has expired.

    Add Missing Punctuation

    In § 50.56, a comma is added after the word “contrary”.

    Remove Reference to Section That Does Not Exist

    In § 150.10, the reference to § 150.18 is removed because that section does not exist.

    Correct Name of NUREG

    In § 150.17(b), the name “NUREG/BR-007” is corrected to read “NUREG/BR-0007”.

    Correct Executive Order Reference

    Executive Order (E.O.) 12958 was revoked and replaced with E.O. 13526 in early 2010. References were corrected to E.O. 13526 in the authority citations to 10 CFR parts 25, 54, and 95; definitions in §§ 10.5, 25.5, 95.5, and 110.2; and §§ 25.37(b) and 95.59.

    Make Conforming Changes for Consistency and Correct an Error in 10 CFR Part 26

    Conforming changes to refer to “review procedure” are made in § 26.39. Conforming changes to refer to individuals “constructing or directing the construction of safety- or security-related SSCs” are made in §§ 26.403(b)(2)(ii), 26.403(b)(3), 26.405(c)(1), 26.406(b), 26.406(d), 26.407 and 26.409. An incorrect reference to operators licensed under 10 CFR Part 52 is removed from the introductory text of § 26.719(b)(2).

    Rulemaking Procedure

    Because these amendments constitute minor administrative corrections to the regulations, the Commission finds that the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act are unnecessary and is exercising its authority under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to publish these amendments as a final rule. The amendments are effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. These amendments do not require action by any person or entity regulated by the NRC. Also, the final rule does not change the substantive responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by the NRC.

    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), which excludes from a major action rules which are corrective or of a minor non-policy nature and do not substantially modify existing regulations. 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 Office of Management and Budget 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, or be inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52.

    Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    Under 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.

    Review process for fitness-for-duty policy violations.

    (a) Each licensee and other entity who is subject to this subpart shall establish procedures for the review of a determination that an individual who they employ or who has applied for authorization has violated the FFD policy. The review procedure must provide for an objective and impartial review of the facts related to the determination that the individual has violated the FFD policy.

    (b) The review procedure must provide notice to the individual of the grounds for the determination that the individual has violated the FFD policy, and must provide an opportunity for the individual to respond and submit additional relevant information.

    (c) The review procedure must ensure that the individual who conducts the review is not associated with the administration of the FFD program [see the description of FFD program personnel in § 26.4(g)]. Individuals who conduct the review may be management personnel.

    (d) If the review finds in favor of the individual, the licensee or other entity shall update the relevant records to reflect the outcome of the review and delete or correct all information the review found to be inaccurate.

    (e) When a C/V is administering an FFD program on which licensees and other entities rely, and the C/V determines that its employee, subcontractor, or applicant has violated its FFD policy, the C/V shall ensure that the review procedure required in this section is provided to the individual. Licensees and other entities who rely on a C/V's FFD program need not provide the review procedure required in this section to a C/V's employee, subcontractor, or applicant when the C/V is administering its own FFD program and the FFD policy violation was determined under the C/V's program.
