NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Parts 2 and 110
RIN 3150-AF72
Facsimile Telephone Number and Address Change for the NRC's
Office of the Secretary
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its
regulations to change the name, address, and facsimile telephone
numbers of the Docketing and Service Branch, Office of the Secretary.
These amendments reflect the reorganization of the Office of the
Secretary. These amendments are necessary to inform the public of these
administrative changes to the NRC's regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 20, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emile L. Julian, Office of the
Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-
0001, telephone (301) 415-1966.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 21, 1997, the NRC changed the name
of the Docketing and Service Branch, to the Rulemakings and
Adjudications Staff. The facsimile telephone numbers for the
Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff were changed from (301) 415-2275
and (301) 415-1672, to (301) 415-1101. The verification number has been
changed from (301) 415-1977 to (301) 415-1966. Also, the e-mail address
has been added. Current facsimile telephone numbers in use in the
Office of the Secretary are still available.
Because this amendment deals with agency procedures, the notice and
comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). 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 a change in address and
telephone number.
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 number 3150-0036.
Public Protection Notification
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, an information collection unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
Regulatory Analysis
A regulatory analysis has not been prepared for this final rule
because it is an administrative action that changes the address and
telephone number of an NRC office.
Backfit Analysis
The NRC has determined that the backfit rule, 10 CFR 50.109, does
not apply to this final rule because this rule does not involve any
provisions that would impose a backfit as defined in Sec. 50.109(a)(1).
Therefore, a backfit analysis is not required for this rule.
