Federal Regulations (10 CFR) to make 

administrative changes. These changes 

include adding the address for a new 

NRC building at headquarters, removing 

references to several committees that no 

longer exist, adding the Computer 

Security Office, removing all references 

to the Office of Federal and State 

Materials and Environmental

and making conforming amendments 

throughout the regulations to reflect this 

office merger. 

II. Summary of Changes

1. Reference to the NRC Functional 

Organization Charts, NUREG–0325, in 

§ 1.3 is removed, because it is no longer 

published or updated. 

2. The locations of principal NRC 

offices are updated to include the 

address of the Three White Flint North 

Building and to remove the addresses 

for two locations (Executive Boulevard 

and Gateway buildings) that are no 

longer occupied by the NRC. 

3. The Panels, Boards, and 

Committees section is updated to 

remove the reference to the Advisory 

Committee on Nuclear Waste, the 

Advisory Committee for the 

Decontamination of Three Mile Island, 

Unit 2, and The Nuclear Safety Research

description in § 1.42, Office of Nuclear 

Material Safety and Safeguards is 

revised to reflect new office 

responsibilities resulting from the 

merger with the Office of Federal and 

State Materials and Environmental 

Management Programs. 

10 CFR Parts 2, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 37, 

40, 51, 61, 62, 70, 71, 72, 73, 140, and 

150 

All references to the Office of Federal 

and State Materials and Environmental 

Management Programs are removed or 

removed and replaced by the Office of 

Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. 

Additional editorial changes, where 

necessary, have been made as the result 

of removing the references. 

10 CFR Parts 37, 71, and 73 

All references to the Division of 

Intergovernmental Liaison and 

Rulemaking are removed and replaced 

with the Division of Material Safety, 

State, Tribal, and Rulemaking Programs. 

10 CFR Parts 40, 72, 73, 74, 75, and 150 

All references to the Division of Fuel 

Cycle Safety and Safeguards are

Fuel Storage and Transportation are 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
75736 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 244 / Friday, December 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

removed and replaced with the Division 

of Spent Fuel Management. 

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 

parts related only to management, 

organization, procedure, and practice. 

Specifically, the revisions are of the 

following types: Adding the address for 

a new building at NRC headquarters, 

removing references to three committees 

that no longer exist, adding the 

Computer Security Office to the list of 

offices, removing all references to the 

Office of Federal and State Materials 

and Environmental Management 

Programs because that office has now 

merged with another NRC office, and 

making conforming amendments 

reflecting the office merger. 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. Furthermore, for the reasons 

previously stated, the NRC finds, 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good 

cause exists to make this rule effective 

upon publication. 

IV. 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). 

V. Environmental Impact: Categorical 

Exclusion 

The NRC has determined that this 

final rule is the type of action described 

in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2), that 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 final rule. 

VI. 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. 

VII. Backfitting and Issue Finality 

The NRC has determined that the 

amendments 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 and do not impose any new 

requirements and make no substantive 

changes to the regulations. The 

amendments 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 rulemaking addressing 

backfitting or issue finality. 

VIII. Congressional Review Act 

In accordance with the Congressional 

Review Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 801–808), 

the NRC has determined that this action 

is not a major rule and has verified this 

determination with the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs of 

the Office of Management and Budget.

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation (FDIC). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation (‘‘FDIC’’) is 

adopting a final rule to rescind and 

remove regulations entitled ‘‘Loans in 

Areas Having Flood Hazards’’ and to 

amend regulations entitled ‘‘Loans in 

Areas Having Flood Hazards.’’ The final 

rule will integrate the flood insurance 

regulations for State nonmember banks 

and State savings associations in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act (the ‘‘DoddFrank Act’’). The integration of the 

regulations was originally proposed as 

part of an interagency joint notice of 

proposed rulemaking issued in October 

2013 pursuant to the Biggert-Waters 

Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (the 

BW Act). The FDIC has decided to 

integrate the flood insurance regulations 

by means of an individual final rule. 

DATES: The final rule is effective on 

January 20, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. The Dodd-Frank Act 

The Dodd-Frank Act 1 provided for a 

substantial reorganization of the 

regulation of State and Federal savings 

associations and their holding 

companies. Beginning July 21, 2011, the 

transfer date established by section 311 

of the Dodd-Frank Act, codified at 12 

U.S.C. 5411, (‘‘Transfer Date’’), the 

powers, duties, and functions formerly 

performed by the OTS were respectively 

divided among the FDIC, as to State 

savings associations, the Office of the 

Comptroller of the Currency (‘‘OCC’’), as 

to Federal savings associations, and the 

Board of Governors of the Federal 

Reserve System (‘‘FRB’’), as to savings 

and loan holding companies. Section 

316(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, codified 

at 12 U.S.C. 5414(b), provides the 

manner of treatment for all orders, 

resolutions, determinations, regulations, 

and advisory materials that had been 

issued, made, prescribed, or allowed to 

become effective by the OTS. The 

section provides that if such materials 

were in effect on the day before the 

Transfer Date, they continue to be in 

effect and are enforceable by or against 

the appropriate successor agency until 

they are modified, terminated, set aside, 

or superseded in accordance with 

applicable law by such successor 

agency, by any court of competent 

jurisdiction, or by operation of law. 

Section 316(c) of the Dodd-Frank Act, 

codified at 12 U.S.C. 5414(c), further 

directed the FDIC and the OCC to 

consult with one another and to publish 

a list of the continued OTS regulations 

which would be enforced by the FDIC 

and the OCC, respectively. On June 14, 

2011, the FDIC’s Board of Directors 

approved a ‘‘List of OTS Regulations to 

be Enforced by the OCC and the FDIC 

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street 

Reform and Consumer Protection Act.’’ 

This list was published by the FDIC and 

the OCC as a Joint Notice in the Federal 

Register on July 6, 2011.2

Although section 312(b)(2)(B)(i)(II) of 

the Dodd-Frank Act, codified at 12 

U.S.C. 5412(b)(2)(B)(i)(II), granted the 

OCC rulemaking authority relating to 

both State and Federal savings 

associations, the Dodd-Frank Act did 

not affect the FDIC’s existing authority 

to issue regulations under the Federal 

Deposit Insurance Act (‘‘FDI Act’’) and 

other laws as the ‘‘appropriate Federal 

banking agency’’ or under similar 

statutory terminology. Section 312(c) of 

the Dodd-Frank Act amended the 

definition of ‘‘appropriate Federal 

banking agency’’ contained in section 

3(q) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. 1813(q), 

to add State savings associations to the 

list of entities for which the FDIC is 

designated as the ‘‘appropriate Federal
