Federal Register :: Conforming Administrative Changes
A Rule by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on 06/27/2007
3150-AH62

Michael K. Williamson, Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone: (301) 415-6234, e-mail: mkw1@nrc.gov.
In September 2000, when part 70 was amended, a new Subpart H to part 70 was added which resulted in former § 70.61 being redesignated as § 70.81 and former § 70.62 being redesignated as § 70.82. Additionally, former § 70.71 was redesignated as § 70.91. NRC is amending its regulations to make conforming changes to citations in the regulatory text by replacing § 70.61 with § 70.81, replacing § 70.62 with § 70.82, and replacing § 70.71 with § 70.91, to update and correct cross-references within 10 CFR part 70. In addition, in September 2000, § 70.14 was redesignated as § 70.17 as referenced in § 70.51.
Because these amendments deal solely with correcting cross references in the regulations, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply, under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), because good cause exists to make these ministerial changes without unnecessary notices and public procedure. This amendment will become effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Good cause exists to dispense with the usual 30-day delay in the effective date, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), because this amendment is of a minor and administrative nature.
The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action described in categorical exclusion 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2). Therefore, neither an environmental impact statement nor an Start Printed Page 35145environmental assessment has been prepared for this final rule.
This final rule does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), approval numbers 3150-0009, 3150-0028, and 3150-0056.
A regulatory analysis has not been prepared for this final rule, because this rule is administrative, in that it amends the regulations to reflect administrative conforming changes made to 10 CFR part 70. This is considered a minor non-substantive amendment and will not have a significant impact on NRC licensees or the public.
The NRC has determined that the backfit rule (§§ 50.109, 70.76, 72.62, or 76.76) does not apply to this final rule because this amendment does not involve any provisions that would impose backfits as defined in the backfit rule. This amendment is considered a minor non-substantive amendment; therefore, a backfit analysis is not required.
