9 CFR Part 201 

[Doc. No. AMS–LRRS–22–0011] 

Nomenclature Changes; Technical 

Amendment 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This rule removes the 

undesignated center headings in a part 

of the Code of Federal Regulations 

administered by the Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS). Further, this 

rule organizes the part’s sections into 

subparts and adds designated subpart 

headings. This action is intended to 

make the part more readable and easier 

to amend in the future. Finally, these 

revisions are made to conform to Office 

of the Federal Register formatting 

requirements. 

DATES: Effective March 3, 2022.

Laurel L. May, Regulatory Analyst, 

Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final 

rule makes technical amendments to 

regulations in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR). Part 201 of Title 9 of 

the CFR contains regulations that 

effectuate the Packers and Stockyards 

Act, 1921 (7 U.S.C. 181 et seq.). 9 CFR 

201 is divided into several sections that 

are currently grouped under 

undesignated center headings. AMS has 

determined that reorganizing the part 

into subparts and adding designated 

subpart headings will make the part 

more readable and facilitate future 

amendatory actions. Further, AMS is 

revising headings in part 201 to conform 

with nomenclature guidelines 

established by the Office of the Federal 

Register. This rule falls within a 

category of regulatory actions that the 

Office of Management and Budget 

exempted from Executive Order 12866 

review. 

The notice and comment 

requirements in the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553) 

apply to rules as defined in 5 U.S.C. 551 

(‘‘the whole or a part of an agency 

statement of general or particular 

applicability and future effect designed 

to implement, interpret, or prescribe law 

or policy or describing the organization, 

procedure, or practice requirements of 

an agency and includes the approval or 

prescription for the future of rates, 

wages, corporate or financial structures 

or reorganizations thereof, prices, 

facilities, appliances, services or 

allowances therefor or of valuations, 

costs, or accounting, or practices bearing 

on any of the foregoing’’). This final rule 

is limited to reorganizing Part 201 into 

subparts and adding designated subpart 

headings. It does not create new or 

amend existing requirements or 

interpretations. Thus, AMS has 

determined that this final rule is not a 

rule subject to the notice and comment 

requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553. 

Additionally, to the extent that this final 

rule is subject to this section, AMS has 

determined that there is good cause for 

making this technical amendment final 

without prior proposal and opportunity 

for comment because the revisions are 

not substantive and will have no impact 

on the regulatory requirements in the 

affected part. AMS has determined that 

public comment on such administrative 

changes is unnecessary and that there is 

good cause under the APA for 

proceeding with a final rule. 

Further, because a notice of proposed 

rulemaking and opportunity for public 

comment are not required to be given 

for this rule under the APA or any other 

law, the analytical requirements of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.) are not applicable. Accordingly, 

this rule is issued in final form. 

Although there is no formal comment 

period, public comments on this rule 

are welcome on an ongoing basis. 

Comments should be submitted to the 

address or email under the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT caption.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

10 CFR Part 50 

[NRC–2017–0025] 

RIN 3150–AJ94 

Approval of American Society of 

Mechanical Engineers’ Code Cases 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is amending its 

regulations to incorporate by reference 

revisions of three regulatory guides to 

approve new, revised, and reaffirmed 

code cases published by the American 

Society of Mechanical Engineers. The 

NRC is also incorporating by reference 

one NRC NUREG associated with a 

condition on one of the regulatory 

guides. This action allows nuclear 

power plant licensees and applicants for 

construction permits, operating licenses, 

combined licenses, standard design 

certifications, standard design 

approvals, and manufacturing licenses 

to use the code cases listed in these 

regulatory guides as voluntary 

alternatives to engineering standards for 

the construction, inservice inspection, 

and inservice testing of nuclear power 

plant components. These engineering 

standards are set forth in the American 

Society of Mechanical Engineers’ Boiler 

and Pressure Vessel Codes and 

American Society of Mechanical 

Engineers’ Operation and Maintenance 

Codes, which are currently incorporated 

by reference into the NRC’s regulations. 

Further, this final rule announces the 

availability of a related regulatory guide, 

not incorporated by reference into the 

NRC’s regulations, that lists code cases 

that the NRC has not approved for use. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

April 4, 2022. The incorporation by 

reference of certain publications listed 

in the regulation is approved by the 

Director of the Federal Register as of 

April 4, 2022.
