These changes include updating the name and the phone number of the U.S. Government Publishing Office, updating the address for the National Technical Information Service, correcting typographical errors, correcting misspellings, and correcting references. This document is necessary to inform the public of these non-substantive changes to the NRC's regulations.

The NRC is amending its regulations in parts 1, 37, 40, 50, 55, 74 and 75 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) to make miscellaneous corrections. These changes include updating the name of the U.S. Government Publishing Office, updating the address for the National Technical Information Service, correcting typographical errors, correcting misspellings, and correcting and removing references. This document is necessary to inform the public of these non-substantive changes to the NRC's regulations.
Update Office Address. In § 1.3, this final rule removes the old office address for the “National Technical Information Service” and replaces it with the new address “5301 Shawnee Road, Alexandria, VA 22312.”
Correct Reference. In § 37.23(b)(2), this final rule removes the incorrect reference “§ 37.25(b)” and replaces it with the correct reference “§ 37.25(c).”
Correct Typographical Error. In § 40.61(a)(2), this final rule removes the first use of the word “or” and replaces it with the word “of.”
Update Office Title and Telephone Number. In Footnote 4 of § 50.49, this final rule removes the old office title for the “U.S. Government Printing Office” and replaces it with the new office title “U.S. Government Publishing Office.” This final rule also removes the telephone number “202-275-2060” and replaces it with “202-512-1800.”
Remove Reference. In § 50.54, this final rule removes the incorrect reference “(q)” from the introductory text.
Return Omitted Information, Update Access Information, Correct Reference. In § 50.55a, this final rule includes a document that was previously approved for incorporation by reference but inadvertently omitted from the list of incorporated documents in § 50.55a(a)(2). The document is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 279-1968, “Proposed IEEE Criteria for Nuclear Power Plant Protection Systems,” which was approved for incorporation by reference in 1972 (37 FR 17021; August 24, 1972). The documents currently listed in § 50.55a(a)(2)(i)-(iii) are moved to § 50.55a(a)(2)(ii)-(iv), and IEEE Standard 279-1968 is added back as § 50.55a(a)(2)(i), so that the documents are listed in chronological order. The access information in new § 50.55a(2)(iv) has been updated. This final rule also updates § 50.55a(h)(2) to reference the correct standards.
Update Office Title and Address. In Footnote 1 of § 55.40, this final rule removes the old office title “U.S. Government Printing Office” and replaces it with the new office title “U.S. Government Publishing Office.” This final rule also removes the old office address for the National Technical Information Service and replaces it with the new address “5301 Shawnee Road, Alexandria, VA 22312.”
Correct Spelling. In § 74.4, this final rule corrects the definition of Tamper-safing by removing the misspelled word Start Printed Page 45842“previouly” and replacing it with the correct word “previously.”
Correct Typographical Error. In § 74.55(b)(2), this final rule removes the incorrect reference “Category BI items” and replaces it with the correct reference “Category IB items.”
Correct References. In § 75.6(d), this final rule revises the second column of the table by removing the incorrect references “75.11(c)(1),” “75.11(c)(2),” “75.11(c)(3),” “75.11(c)(4),” “75.11(c)(5),” “75.11(c)(6),” and “75.11(c)(7)” and replacing them with the correct references “75.11(b)(1),” “75.11(b)(2),” “75.11(b)(3),” “75.11(b)(4),” “75.11(b)(5),” “75.11(b)(6),” and “75.11(b)(7).”
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 correct typographical errors, misspellings, and incorrect references.
The Commission is exercising its authority under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) to publish these amendments as a final rule. The amendments are effective September 2, 2015. 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.
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 correcting typographical errors, correcting misspellings, and correcting and removing references. 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.
For the reasons set out in the preamble and under the authority of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended; the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended; and 5 U.S.C. 552 and 553, the NRC is adopting the following amendments to 10 CFR parts 1, 37, 40, 50, 55, 74, and 75.
