NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 72

RIN 3150–AF94

Changes, Tests, and Experiments;

Corrections

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting

amendments.

SUMMARY: This document corrects a

final rule appearing in the Federal

Register on October 4, 1999 (65 FR

53582). This action to correct two

editorial errors is necessary for clarity

and consistency in the regulations.

DATES: Effective on April 5, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jayne McCausland [telephone (301)

415–6219, e-mail JMM2@nrc.gov] of the

Office of Nuclear Material Safety and

Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 21, 1998 (64 FR 56098),

a proposed rule to revise the ‘‘Changes,

Tests, and Experiments’’ regulations

was published in the Federal Register,

and on October 4, 1999 (65 FR 53582),

the NRC published the final rule. The

purpose of the rule was to revise

§§ 50.59 and 72.48 to reduce regulatory

burden and enhance clarity between the

regulations in Parts 50 and 72. After the

final rule was published, two minor

editorial errors were discovered in

§ 72.48. Industry identified one error in

paragraph (c)(2)(iii) and NRC identified

the other error in (c)(2)(vii). In

paragraph (c)(2)(iii), the term ‘‘(as

updated)’’ was omitted. This term had

been used in the proposed rule issued

on October 21, 1998 (64 FR 56098), and

no public comments had been received

on its use. In paragraph (c)(2)(vii), the

phrase ‘‘as described in the FSAR’’ had

been mispositioned in the sentence,

resulting in an inconsistency between

this section and § 50.59(c)(2)(vii), which

issues the same criterion.

Need for Corrections

As published, the final rule entitled

‘‘Changes, Tests, and Experiments’’ (64

FR 53582; October 4, 1999) contains

errors which may prove to be

misleading and need to be clarified.
