E8-11751. Administrative Changes: NRC Region IV Address Change and Phone Number and E-mail Address Changes

AGENCY:

Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to update the street address for its Region IV office, and to update a telephone number and e-mail address for the Office of Information Services (OIS). This document is necessary to inform the public of these changes to the NRC's regulations.

DATES:

Effective date: This rule is effective May 28, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Angella Love Blair, Rulemaking, Directives and Editing Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone [phone], e-mail [e-mail].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The NRC is amending its regulations at 10 CFR parts 1, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 52, 55, 60, 61, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 76 to update the street address for the NRC Region IV office, and to update a telephone number and e-mail address for OIS. The physical location for the NRC Region IV office has not changed; the street address change is necessary because of local road construction. This rule also updates the internal addressee for the NRC Region IV office due to reorganization.

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). The amendments are effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) to dispense with the usual 30-day delay in the effective date of the final rule, because the amendments are of a minor and administrative nature dealing with corrections to certain CFR sections. These amendments do not require action by any person or entity regulated by the NRC, and the final rule does not change the substantive responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by the NRC.

Summary of Changes

Change in Street Address for Region IV, USNRC

The street address of the NRC Region IV office has been changed. The new address is incorporated into the following sections of the NRC's regulations: § 1.5(b)(4), Appendix D to 10 CFR part 20, § 30.6(b)(2)(iv), § 40.5(b)(2)(iv), § 55.5(b)(2)(iv), § 70.5(b)(2)(iv), and Appendix A to 10 CFR part 73.

Change in Internal Addressee for Region IV, USNRC

Due to reorganization in the NRC Region IV, the appropriate internal addressee is the Division of Nuclear Materials Safety. The new name is incorporated into the following sections of the NRC's regulations: § 30.6(b)(2)(iv), § 40.5(b)(2)(iv), and § 70.5(b)(2)(iv).

Change in OIS Telephone Number

The OIS telephone number for requesting NRC forms has been changed. The new telephone number is incorporated into the following sections of the NRC's regulations: Appendix G to 10 CFR part 20, § 30.7(e)(3), § 40.7(e)(3), § 50.7(e)(2), § 55.23, § 55.31(a)(1), § 60.9(e)(2), § 61.9(e)(2), § 63.9(e)(2), § 70.7(e)(3), § 71.9(e)(2), § 72.10(e)(2), § 73.57(d)(1), and § 76.7(e)(3).

Change in OIS E-mail Address

The OIS e-mail address for requesting NRC forms has been changed. The new e-mail address is incorporated into the following sections of the NRC's regulations: § 19.11(e)(2), § 30.7(e)(3), § 40.7(e)(3), § 50.7(e)(2), § 52.5(e)(2), § 60.9(e)(2), § 61.9(e)(2), § 63.9(e)(2), § 70.7(e)(3), § 71.9(e)(2), § 72.10(e)(2), § 73.57(d)(1), and § 76.7(e)(3).

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.
