NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 2

[NRC-2023-0210]
RIN 3150-AL09


Non-Substantive Amendments to Adjudicatory Proceeding 
Requirements

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the 
effective date of November 5, 2024, for the direct final rule that was 
published in the Federal Register on August 22, 2024. This direct final 
rule amended the agency's rules of practice and procedure to improve 
access to documents and make e-filing rules technology neutral, to 
delete an obsolete regulation, to clarify the applicability of subpart 
L and subpart N procedures, to enhance internal consistency for page 
limit requirements, to enhance consistency with the Federal Rules of 
Evidence for ``true copies,'' and to better reflect current Atomic 
Safety and Licensing Board Panel practice regarding admission of 
evidence.

DATES: Effective date: The effective date of November 5, 2024, for the 
direct final rule published in the Federal Register on August 22, 2024 
(89 FR 67830), is confirmed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 22, 2024 (89 FR 67830), the NRC 
published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 2 of 
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to revise the agency's 
rules of practice and procedure to improve access to documents and make 
e-filing rules technology neutral, to delete an obsolete regulation, to 
clarify the applicability of Subpart L and Subpart N procedures, to 
enhance internal consistency for page limit requirements, to enhance 
consistency with the Federal Rules of Evidence for ``true copies,'' and 
to better reflect current Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel 
practice regarding admission of evidence. In the direct final rule, the 
NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the 
direct final rule would become effective on November 5, 2024. The NRC 
received one anonymous comment, which can be viewed at ADAMS Accession 
No. ML24256A206; the comment was not a significant adverse comment on 
the direct final rule. Therefore, this direct final rule will become 
effective as scheduled.

    Dated: October 1, 2024.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Cindy Bladey,
Chief, Regulatory Analysis and Rulemaking Support Branch, Division of 
Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support, Office of Nuclear 
Material Safety and Safeguards.
