SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is amending its regulations 

in parts 2, 15, 19, 20, 26, 30, 40, 50, 51, 

52, 55, 60, 61, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73, and 76 

of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) to make 

miscellaneous corrections. These 

changes include updating the address 

for the NRC’s PDR, updating a footnote, 

correcting mathematical errors, 

correcting references, correcting 

typographical and grammatical errors, 

and revising language for clarity and 

consistency. This final rule also makes 

changes to the time period by which a 

Federal agency must refer a debt for 

collection through offset, and makes 

conforming changes to the regulations to 

reflect the transfer of Mississippi to NRC 

Region IV. 

This document is necessary to inform 

the public of these non-substantive 

changes to the NRC’s regulations. 

II. Summary of Changes 

10 CFR Part 2 

Correct Reference. In § 2.810(e), this 

final rule removes the reference ‘‘(13 

CFR 121.402(b)(2))’’ and replaces it with 

the reference ‘‘(13 CFR 121.104),’’ which 

is more accurate. 

Revise a Typographical Error. In the 

first sentence of § 2.1023(a), this final 

rule removes the word ‘‘and’’ and 

replaces it with the word ‘‘an.’’ 

Correct Number. In the second 

sentence of the introductory paragraph 

of § 2.1210(a), this final rule removes 

the words ‘‘forty (40) days’’ and replaces 

them with the words ‘‘one-hundred and 

twenty (120) days.’’ With this change, 

§ 2.1210(a) conforms to § 2.341. 

Correct Number. In the first sentence 

of § 2.1406(c), this final rule removes 

the words ‘‘twenty (20) days’’ and 

replaces them with the words ‘‘twentyfive (25) days.’’ With this change, 

§ 2.1406(c) conforms to § 2.1407(a)(1). 

10 CFR Part 15 

Change Time Period for Referral of 

Debt for Collection through Offset. The 

Digital Accountability and 

Transparency Act of 2014 (Pub. Law 

113–101) (DATA Act) amended 31 

U.S.C. 3716(c)(6), ‘‘Administrative 

Offset,’’ effective May 19, 2014. This 

minor provision changed the time 

period by which a Federal agency must 

refer to the Secretary of the Treasury a 

debt owed to the U.S. Government, for 

collection of the debt through offset, 

from 180 days to 120 days. This final 

rule changes the number of days from 

180 days to 120 days in § 15.33(b)(1) to 

comply with the DATA Act. This final 

rule also changes the number of days 

from 180 to 120 in the first sentences of 

§ 15.20(d) and the introductory 

paragraph of § 15.20(e) for consistency. 

10 CFR Part 19 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 19.11(e)(2), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

10 CFR Part 20 

Transfer Mississippi to Region IV. In 

the Staff Requirements Memorandum to 

SECY–06–0075, dated April 26, 2006 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML061160609), 

the Commission approved the transfer 

of all interactions with the State of 

Mississippi from NRC Region II to NRC 

Region IV. This final rule makes 

conforming changes to appendix D to 10 

CFR part 20 to reflect the transfer. 

10 CFR Part 26 

Correct Mathematical Error. In the 

first sentence of § 26.135(c), this final 

rule removes the words ‘‘(¥20 °C 

(¥68 °F) or less)’’ and replaces them 

with the words ‘‘(¥20 °C (¥4 °F) or 

less).’’ 

Correct Mathematical Error. In the 

first sentence of § 26.159(i), this final 

rule removes the words ‘‘¥20 °C 

(¥68 °F)’’ and replaces them with the 

words ‘‘¥20 °C (¥4 °F).’’ 

Revise a Typographical Error. In the 

first sentence of § 26.717(g), this final 

rule removes the word ‘‘licensee’s)’’ and 

replaces it with the word ‘‘licensees.’’ 

10 CFR Part 30 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 30.7(e)(3), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

10 CFR Part 40 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 40.7(e)(3), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 217 / Monday, November 10, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 66599 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

10 CFR Part 50 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 50.7(e)(2), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

Correct Spelling. This final rule makes 

several spelling corrections by adding 

hyphens to words appearing in § 50.55a. 

In § 50.55a(b)(2)(viii)(B), this final rule 

replaces the word ‘‘prestressing’’ with 

‘‘pre-stressing’’ and the word 

‘‘prestress’’ with ‘‘pre-stress.’’ In 

§ 50.55a(b)(2)(viii)(C), this final rule 

replaces the word ‘‘retensioning’’ with 

‘‘re-tensioning’’. In § 50.55a(b)(2)(ix)(J), 

this final rule replaces the word 

‘‘leaktight’’ with the word ‘‘leak-tight.’’ 

Revise Language for Consistency. This 

final rule revises the first sentence of 

§ 50.82(a)(4)(i) to permit licensees to 

submit the Post-Shutdown 

Decommissioning Activities Report 

prior to permanent cessation of 

operations. This change is necessary for 

the language in § 50.82(a)(4)(i) to 

conform to § 50.82(a)(8)(iii), Section 4 of 

Regulatory Guide 1.184 (October 2013) 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13144A840), 

and Section 21 of the technical basis for 

the Decommissioning Planning Rule 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML070590136). 

10 CFR Part 51 

Revise Reference for Clarity. In the 

first sentences of §§ 51.34(b) and 

51.102(c), this final rule adds the words 

‘‘subpart G of’’ in order to restore the 

original NRC intent that it may issue 

most materials licenses before the 

hearing on the license, if any, is 

completed. 

Correct Address and Minor Editorial 

Changes. In Footnote 1 of Summary 

Table S–4 in § 51.52, this final rule adds 

the word ‘‘of’’ to the first sentence, 

corrects the NRC’s address in the second 

sentence, and begins the third sentence 

with the word ‘‘The.’’ 

Revise Typographical Errors. In 

§ 51.53(d), this final rule revises the last 

sentence to correct the quotation marks 

around the titles of the two reports and 

add an apostrophe. 

10 CFR Part 52 

Correct the Definition of ‘‘Early Site 

Permit.’’ In 2007, a final rule, ‘‘Licenses, 

Certifications, and Approvals for 

Nuclear Power Plants’’ (72 FR 49352; 

August 28, 2007), corrected references 

in 10 CFR part 52 to reflect that 

Commission approval for an early site 

permit refers to a single site. However, 

the definition for ‘‘early site permit’’ in 

§ 52.1 was inadvertently not corrected at 

that time, and continued to indicate that 

it meant Commission approval for ‘‘a 

site or sites.’’ This final rule corrects the 

definition in § 52.1(a) to indicate 

Commission approval for a singular site, 

and conforms to those changes made in 

2007 to §§ 52.12 and 52.15(a), and 

subpart F of 10 CFR part 52. 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 52.5(e)(2), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

10 CFR Part 55 

More Clearly Indicate Where 

Submissions Should be Sent. In 

§ 55.5(b)(3), this final rule adds an 

introductory paragraph to more clearly 

indicate where test and research reactor 

or non-reactor facilities should send 

submissions. This final rule also 

removes § 55.5(b)(3)(i) and (ii), which 

become unnecessary once the 

introductory paragraph is added. 

Add Language to Specify Criteria. In 

§ 55.40(d), after the word ‘‘shall,’’ this 

final rule adds the following words: 

‘‘use the criteria in NUREG–1478, 

‘Operator Licensing Examiner Standards 

for Research and Test Reactors,’ for all 

test and research reactors to.’’ 

Correct Cross Reference. On March 

31, 2008, the NRC published the 

Fitness-for-Duty Programs final rule (73 

FR 16965). The final rule removed 

appendix A to 10 CFR part 26, 

‘‘Guidelines for Drug and Alcohol 

Testing Programs,’’ in its entirety and 

incorporated the requirements into 

subparts E, F, and G of 10 CFR part 26. 

This final rule corrects § 55.53(j) to 

correctly reference the subparts. 

Remove Obsolete Language. In the 

second sentence of § 55.55(b), this final 

rule removes the words ‘‘or telegram’’ 

and the words ‘‘or with a telegraph 

company.’’ 

10 CFR Part 60 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 60.9(e)(2), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

10 CFR Part 61 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 61.9(e)(2), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

10 CFR Part 63 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 63.9(e)(2), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

10 CFR Part 70 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 70.7(e)(3), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address, and 

corrects the Web site address. 

10 CFR Part 71 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 71.9(e)(2), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

10 CFR Part 72 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 72.10(e)(2), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

Remove Expired Certificates. 

Certificates of Compliance 1000, 1002, 

1003, and 1005 have expired and this 

final rule removes them from § 72.214. 

The certificate holders have not opted to 

renew the certificates, and no other 

applicants have requested renewal. No 

casks have been loaded under these 

certificates. 

10 CFR Part 73 

Correct Reference in Authority 

Citation. In a final rule published on 

May 20, 2013 (78 FR 29520), ‘‘Physical 

Protection of Irradiated Reactor Fuel in 

Transit,’’ § 73.37 was revised in its 

entirety. This revision moved the 

advance notification provisions to 

governors of affected states for 

shipments of spent nuclear fuel through 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES
66600 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 217 / Monday, November 10, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

their ‘‘affected’’ States from § 73.37(f) to 

§ 73.37(b)(2). This final rule corrects the 

cross reference in the authority citation 

for 10 CFR part 73. 

Transfer Mississippi to Region IV. In 

the Staff Requirements Memorandum to 

SECY–06–0075 (April 26, 2006), the 

Commission approved the transfer of all 

interactions with the State of 

Mississippi from NRC Region II to NRC 

Region IV. This final rule makes 

conforming changes to appendix A to 10 

CFR part 73 to reflect the transfer. 

Correct Title of Appendix. Appendix 

C to 10 CFR part 73 applies to facilities 

other than nuclear power plants. 

Therefore, this final rule corrects the 

title of appendix C to 10 CFR part 73 by 

removing the words ‘‘Nuclear Power 

Plant’’ from the title and replacing them 

with the word ‘‘Licensee.’’ This change 

also conforms the title of the appendix 

to the existing reference in § 73.46(h)(1). 

10 CFR Part 76 

Correct Contact Information for 

Obtaining NRC Form 3. In § 76.7(e)(3), 

this final rule removes the NRC phone 

number that has been discontinued 

because it was subject to frequent 

change and, therefore, confusing to the 

public; corrects the email address; and 

corrects the Web site address. 

III. Rulemaking Procedure 

Under the Administrative Procedure 

Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency may 

waive the normal notice and comment 

requirements if it finds, for good cause, 

that they are impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest. 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 amendments, because 

notice and opportunity for comment are 

unnecessary. The amendments will 

have no substantive impact and are of 

a minor and administrative nature 

dealing with corrections to certain CFR 

sections related only to management, 

organization, procedure, and practice. 

Specifically, the revisions are of the 

following types: updating of the address 

for the NRC’s PDR, updating a footnote, 

correcting mathematical errors, 

correcting references, correcting 

typographical and grammatical errors, 

and revising language for clarity and 

consistency. This final rule also makes 

changes to the time period by which a 

Federal agency must refer a debt for 

collection through offset, and makes 

conforming changes to the regulations to 

reflect the transfer of Mississippi to NRC 

Region IV. 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. 

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 that are corrective, 

minor, or nonpolicy in 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 Office of 

Management and Budget 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. Backfitting and Issue Finality 

The NRC has determined that the 

corrections in this final rule do not 

constitute backfitting and are not 

inconsistent with any of the issue 

finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. 

The revisions are non-substantive in 

nature, including updating the address 

for the NRC’s PDR, updating a footnote, 

correcting mathematical errors, 

correcting references, correcting 

typographical and grammatical errors, 

and revising language for clarity and 

consistency. This final rule also makes 

changes to the time period by which a 

Federal agency must refer a debt for 

collection through offset, and makes 

conforming changes to the regulations to 

reflect the transfer of Mississippi to NRC 

Region IV. They impose no new 

requirements and make no substantive 

changes to the regulations. The 

corrections 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 or 

represent an inconsistency with any of 

the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR 

part 52. Therefore, the NRC has not 

prepared any additional documentation 

for this correction rulemaking 

addressing backfitting or issue finality.
