Jayne M. McCausland, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001 [telephone (301) 415-6219, e-mail JMM2@nrc.gov].
On July 26, 1995 (60 FR 38235), a final rule entitled “Clarification of Decommissioning Funding Requirements” was published in the Federal Register. The purpose of the final rule was to amend the regulations applicable to decommissioning funding assurance and the expiration and termination of licenses for nonreactor licensees. In that final rule, paragraph (e) of § 30.36, Expiration and termination of licensees and decommissioning of sites and separate buildings or outdoor areas,” referenced § 30.35, Financial assurance and recordkeeping for decommissioning.” Similarly, paragraph (e) to § 40.42, Expiration and termination of licenses and decommissioning of sites and separate or outdoor areas, referenced § 40.36, Financial assurance and recordkeeping for decommissioning. However, paragraph (e) to § 70.38, Expiration and termination of licenses and decommissioning of sites and separate buildings or outdoor areas, erroneously referenced § 30.35 instead of § 70.25, Financial assurance and recordkeeping for decommissioning. This typographical error needs to be corrected.
As published, the final rule entitled “Clarification of Decommissioning Funding Requirements” (60 FR 38235; July 26, 1995) contains a typographical error in § 70.38(e) which needs to be corrected.
