NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 13

RIN 3150-AD71


Program Fraud Civil Remedies; Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule: technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects a paragraph numbering error contained 
in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations implementing the 
Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 29, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Fonner, Office of the General 
Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, 
telephone (301) 415-1634.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As published, the NRC's Program Fraud 
Civil Remedies regulations contain a numbering error in the 
definition of ``Claim'' contained in 10 CFR 13.2. Paragraph (b)(3) 
of the definition should have been numbered as paragraph (c). That 
this was an inadvertent error is evident both from the internal 
wording of the definition and from the definition of ``claim'' in 
the Act contained at 31 U.S.C. 3801. The definition of ``claim'' in 
the regulation is virtually identical to the definition in the Act, 
except for this numbering error.

List of Subjects in 10 CFR Part 13

    Claims, Fraud, Organization and function (government agencies), 
Penalties.

    Accordingly, 10 CFR part 13 is amended by making the following 
corrective amendment.
