14744 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 41 / Thursday, February 29, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

(MD) 8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting, 

Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and 

Information Requests,’’ would not affect 

the issue finality of any approval issued 

under 10 CFR part 52; and would not 

constitute forward fitting as that term is 

defined and described in MD 8.4. This 

RG will not apply to any construction 

permits, operating licenses, early site 

permits, limited work authorizations 

issued under 10 CFR 50.10, or combined 

licenses, for which the NRC issued a 

final environmental impact statement 

(EIS) preceded by a draft EIS under 10 

CFR 51.76 or 51.75, any of which were 

issued by the NRC prior to issuance of 

this final RG. The NRC has already 

completed its siting determination for 

those construction permits, operating 

licenses, early site permits, limited work 

authorizations, and combined licenses. 

Therefore, no further NRC regulatory 

action on siting will occur for those 

licenses, permits, and authorizations, 

for which the guidance in the RG would 

be relevant. The methods described in 

this RG will be used in evaluating 

applications for construction permits, 

early site permits, combined operating 

licenses and limited work 

authorizations, which includes 

information under 10 CFR 51.49(b) or 

(f), with respect to compliance with 

applicable regulations governing the 

siting of new nuclear power plants and 

testing facilities, unless the applicant 

proposes an acceptable alternative 

method for complying with those 

regulations. Methods that differ from 

those described in this RG may be 

deemed acceptable if the applicant 

provides sufficient basis and 

information for the NRC staff to verify 

that the proposed alternative complies 

with the applicable NRC regulations. 

V. Submitting Suggestions for 

Improvement of Regulatory Guides 

A member of the public may, at any 

time, submit suggestions to the NRC for 

improvement of existing RGs or for the 

development of new RGs. Suggestions 

can be submitted on the NRC’s public 

website at https://www.nrc.gov/readingrm/doc-collections/reg-guides/ 

contactus.html. Suggestions will be 

considered in future updates and 

enhancements to the ‘‘Regulatory 

Guide’’ series.

33 CFR Part 117 

[Docket No. USCG–2023–0183] 

RIN 1625–AA09 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

River Rouge, Detroit, MI; Correction 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Correcting amendment. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is correcting 

regulations that published in the 

Federal Register on December 28, 2023. 

The final rule announced changes to the 

operations of all movable bridges over 

the River Rouge, Detroit, MI, to improve 

communications and establish winter 

hours. This correction fixes incorrect 

language in the regulations. The 

language in the final rule inadvertently 

stated the draw of the Dix Avenue 

Bridge, mile 2.73, is remotely operated, 

when it is not equipped or authorized 

to operate remotely. 

DATES: This correcting amendment is 

effective February 29, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this correcting 

amendment, call or email Mr. Lee D. 

Soule, Bridge Management Specialist, 

Ninth Coast Guard District; telephone 

216–902–6085, email Lee.D.Soule@

uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FR Doc. 

2023–28645, appearing on page 89574 

in the Federal Register of December 28, 

2023, the final rule inadvertently 

identified in paragraph (h) that the 

bridge is remotely operated. The Coast 

Guard did not intend to include this text 

in § 117.645(h). Therefore, we are 

correcting paragraph (h) by removing 

the words ‘‘is remotely operated’’. 

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117 

Bridges.

preamble, the Coast Guard corrects 33 

CFR part 117 by making the following 

correcting amendment:

No. 01.3. 

■ 2. Amend § 117.645 by revising 

paragraph (h) to read as follows: 

§ 117.645 River Rouge. 

* * * * * 

(h) The draw of the Dix Avenue 

Bridge, mile 2.73, is required to operate

notice.
