SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

The NRC is amending its regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Chapter I to make technical corrections. These changes include correcting the authority citations for 10 CFR parts 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 26, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 39, 40, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 60, 61, 62, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 81, 95, 100, 140, 150, 160, 170, and 171; updating the street address for its Region I office; correcting typographical and spelling errors; and making other edits and conforming changes.

II. Summary of Changes

10 CFR Part 4

Revise Nomenclature. The words “handicap” and “handicapped” are replaced with the words “disability” and “disabled,” as appropriate.

10 CFR Part 10

Correct Title Designation. The position formerly entitled, “Deputy Executive Director for Information Services and Administration and Chief Information Officer,” no longer exists. A new position has been created and designated the title of “Deputy Executive Director for Corporate Management.” This new title designation replaces the former title in 10 CFR part 10.

10 CFR Part 20

Revise Office of Management and Budget (OMB)-Approved Information Collection List. In § 20.1009(b), the list of the OMB-approved information collection requirements is revised to remove the reference to § 20.2008 because the section no longer exists.

10 CFR Part 30

Revise Mailing Address. In § 34.20(a)(1), the mailing address of the American National Standards Institute, Inc., is revised to include their new mailing address.

Correct Reference. In § 30.34(h)(1)(ii), the section number under the reference to Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C.) is incorrect. In this paragraph, the reference “11 U.S.C. 101(14)” is replaced with the reference “11 U.S.C. 101(15).”

10 CFR Part 40

Revise OMB-Approved Information Collection List. In § 40.8, a new paragraph (c)(6) is added to the list of OMB-approved information collection requirements to include references to §§ 40.25 and 40.35, which have been approved by OMB.

Insert Missing Language. In appendix A to 10 CFR part 40, section I, criterion 4(d), the phrase “(on the order of 10 m or greater); impoundment slopes are very gentle (on the order of 10 h:1v)” was included in the original final rule, but was inadvertently omitted in the most recent amendments, even though Criterion 4 has not been amended since the original final rule. This resulted in incomplete language. In criterion 4(d), the phrase is added to read “(on the order of 10 m or greater); impoundment slopes are very gentle (on the order of 10 h:1v or less).”

Correct Typographical Error. In appendix A to 10 CFR part 40, section I, criterion 8A, the phrase “that is not corrected” is revised to read “that if not corrected.” In this phrase, the word “is” is replaced with “if.”

10 CFR Part 50

Revise OMB-Approved Information Collection List. In § 50.8(b), the list of OMB-approved information collection requirements is revised to add references to § 50.150 which was inadvertently omitted in the most recent amendments.

Correct Typographical Error. In appendix R to 10 CFR part 50, section III, paragraph G.3, the phrase “Alternative or dedicated” was inadvertently revised to read “Alternative of dedicated.” In this phrase, the word “of” is replaced with “or.”

10 CFR Part 51

Correct Address. In § 51.121(b), the addressee section, “ATTN: Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Office of Administration” is revise to read, “ATTN: Rules, Announcements, and Directives Branch, Office of Administration” and the email address, “[e-mail]” is removed.

Correct Office Title. In § 51.122, the name of the office, formerly called, “Office of Information Resources Management,” is revised to read “Office of Information Services.”

10 CFR Part 71

Revise Table Entries and Footnote for Consistency. In appendix A to 10 CFR part 71, Table A-1, the values for the entries Bi-205, Cm-248, Eu-150 (long lived), and Te-132 (a), are revised for consistency with Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 173.435. In addition, in Table A-1, footnote b is revised for clarity.

10 CFR Part 72

Revise OMB-Approved Information Collection List. In § 72.9(b), the list of OMB-approved information collection requirements is revised to remove the reference to §§ 72.8 and 72.216 because these sections no longer exist.

10 CFR Part 73

Revise OMB-Approved Information Collection List. In § 73.8(b), the list of OMB-approved information collection requirements is revised to add references to §§ 73.23 and 73.51 which have been approved by OMB.

Revise Language for Clarity. In § 73.55(e)(1)(ii), the word “physical” is added. The insertion of the word “physical” in this paragraph aids the reader in identifying the correct plan from among the ones defined in § 73.55(a).

In § 73.55(k)(8)(ii), the phrase, “indirect and neutralize the threat” is revised to read, “indirect and neutralize threats” for clarity and consistency with § 73.55(k)(1).

In § 73.55(m)(2), the phrase, “but not be limited to” is revised to read “but not limited to” for clarity and consistency with § 73.55(n)(1)(ii).

In § 73.55(m)(3), the first and second sentences are revised so that the word “and” is added, the comma following the word “form” is removed, and the word “operation” is revised to read “operations.” In § 73.55(m)(3), the sentence structure is revised for clarity.

In § 73.55(n)(1)(v), the word “component” has been revised to a plural term for consistency with § 73.55(o)(1).

In § 73.56(h)(4), the paragraph heading for the introductory text of paragraph (h)(4)(ii) is revised to provide clarification between the two types of interruptions discussed in this section. In paragraphs (h)(4)(ii)(A) and (B), paragraph headings are added for clarity and consistency.

In § 73.56(i)(1)(iv), the first sentence is revised to provide clarity and specify the amount of days that constitute an annual supervisory review.

In appendix C to 10 CFR part 73, section I, the word “Licensee” has been revised to a plural term to be consistent with the rest of the entities listed in the sentence.

In appendix C to 10 CFR part 73, section II, paragraphs B.3.c.(i) and B.3.c.(v)(4), the compound word “defense in depth” was not hyphenated. In these paragraphs, the compound word “defense in depth” is revised to read “defense-in-depth” for consistency with § 73.55(b)(3)(ii).

In appendix C, section II, paragraph B.3.c.(iii) is revised to remove the phrase, “training and qualification plans” for clarity and consistency with § 73.55(a)(1).

In appendix C to 10 CFR part 73, section II, paragraph B.3.c.(v)(1), the reference “performance objectives of § 73.55(a) through (k)” is replaced with the reference “performance requirements and objectives of § 73.55(a) through (k).”

In appendix C to 10 CFR part 73, section II, paragraph C.2, the phrase “Cyber Security Plan” is added as this plan is now part of the security program review.

Correct References. In § 73.55(c)(4), (d)(3), (g)(8)(iii), and appendix C to 10 CFR part 73, section II, paragraph A.(4), the title of appendix B to 10 CFR part 73 is removed and replaced with the title of section VI of appendix B to 10 CFR part 73.

In § 73.55(c)(5), the title of appendix C to 10 CFR part 73 is removed and replaced with the correct title and reference to section II of appendix C to 10 CFR part 73.

In appendix B to 10 CFR part 73, section VI, paragraph H.1., the reference to § 73.55(r) is replaced with the reference “§ 73.55(q).”

In appendix B to 10 CFR part 73, section VI, paragraph I, the reference to § 73.55(n) is replaced with the reference “§ 73.55(m).”

In appendix C to 10 CFR part 73, section II, paragraph C.1, the reference to § 73.55(n) is replaced with the reference “§ 73.55(m).”

In appendix C to 10 CFR part 73, section II, paragraph C.3, the reference to § 73.55 is replaced with the reference “§ 73.55(q).”

Correct Typographical Error. In § 73.55(i)(4)(ii)(G), the word “the” was omitted due to a clerical error. In this paragraph, the word “the” is added between the words “of” and “final” to correct the sentence structure.

In § 73.56(h)(4)(i) and (h)(4)(ii)(B), the word “proceeding” has been replaced with the word “preceding.”

In appendix B to 10 CFR part 73, section VI, paragraph C.3.(k)(3), an “r” was inadvertently omitted in the word “though.” In this paragraph, the word “though” is replaced with the word “through.”

Change in Street Address for Region I

The street address of the NRC Region I office has been changed. The new address is incorporated into the following sections of the NRC's regulations: § 1.5(b)(1), appendix D to 10 CFR part 20, § 30.6(b)(2)(i) and (b)(2)(ii), § 40.5(b)(2)(i) and (b)(2)(ii), § 55.5(b)(2)(i), § 70.5(b)(2)(i), and appendix A to 10 CFR part 73.

Revise Authority Citations

The authority citations for the following NRC regulations are revised to include conforming administrative changes: 10 CFR parts 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 26, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 39, 40, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 60, 61, 62, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 81, 95, 100, 140, 150, 160, 170, and 171.

III. Rulemaking Procedure

Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C 553(b)), an agency may waive the normal notice and comments requirements if it finds, for good cause, that they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. The NRC finds that notice and comment for these amendments are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest because it will have no substantive impact, are technical in nature, and relate only to management, organization, procedure, and practice. The Commission is exercising its authority under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) to publish these amendments as a final rule. The amendments are effective August 6, 2012. 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.

As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the NRC finds good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on the revisions listed above because these revisions are administrative in nature and do not change substantive requirements under the regulations. Specifically, the revisions are of the following types: corrections to cross-references where the cross-reference is now incorrect due to changes in the regulations; typographical and grammatical corrections; nomenclature changes that do not affect any requirements under the regulations; revisions to titles and office re-designations; address changes; revision to the OMB-approved list of information collections; revisions to table entries and footnotes for consistency; insertion of language that had been unintentionally deleted during the most recent revisions; and other minor changes in wording that do not change the substantive requirements for clarity and consistency. These corrections will reduce confusion among any person or entity regulated by the NRC, and therefore notice and comment is unnecessary.

IV. 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 or nonpolicy nature and do not substantially modify existing regulations. Therefore, neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment has been prepared for this rule.

V. 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.

VI. Plain Writing

The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-274) requires Federal agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, and well-organized manner. The NRC has written this document to be consistent with the Plain Writing Act as well as the Presidential Memorandum, “Plain Language in Government Writing,” published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 31883).

VII. Backfit Analysis

The NRC has determined that the administrative changes in the final rule do not constitute backfitting, and therefore a backfit analysis is not included. The revisions are administrative in nature, including typographical corrections and updates to references and authorities. They impose no new requirements and make no substantive changes to the regulations. The revisions do not involve any provisions that would impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR chapter I, or would be inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. For these reasons, the issuance of the rule in final form would not constitute backfitting. Therefore, a backfit analysis was not prepared.
