I. Introduction
The NRC is amending its regulations in parts 20, 35, 50, 51, 52,
72, 73, 110, and 150 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR). The NRC is making these amendments to correct typographical
errors, remove obsolete language, insert missing language, and update
the telephone number for the NRC's Region IV office.
II. Summary of Changes
10 CFR Parts 20 and 73
Update Telephone Number. This final rule revises appendix D to 10
CFR part 20 and appendix A to 10 CFR part 73 to update the telephone
number for the NRC's Region IV office.
10 CFR Part 35
Insert Missing Language. This final rule amends Sec. 35.13 by
restoring paragraphs (b)(4)(i) through (iv), which were incorrectly
removed by the 2018 final rule ``Medical Event Definitions, Training
and Experience, and Clarifying Amendments'' (83 FR 33046; July 16,
2018).
10 CFR Part 50
Correct Typographical Error. This final rule amends the second
sentence in Sec. 50.75(e)(1)(ii)(A) to remove the text
``foregoing,that'' and add in its place the text ``foregoing, that''.
10 CFR Part 51
Remove Obsolete Language. This final rule amends the definition of
``NRC staff director'' in Sec. 51.4 to update the title
[[Page 68029]]
``Director, Office of Governmental and Public Affairs'' to ``Director,
Office of Public Affairs'' to align with the current organization, and
to update the definition to an inline format.
10 CFR Part 52
Correct Typographical Error. This final rule amends footnote 2 to
Sec. 52.17 by correcting ``an accidents'' to read ``an accident.''
This correction aligns footnote 2 with footnotes 4, 6, 10, and 12 to
other sections within the part.
10 CFR Part 72
Correct Typographical Error. This final rule revises Certificate
No. 1029 at Sec. 72.214 by removing extra periods and aligning the
text with other renewed certificates in this section.
10 CFR Part 110
Insert Missing Language. This final rule amends Sec. 110.22 by
restoring the uranium heels provision that was incorrectly removed by
the 2010 final rule ``Export and Import of Nuclear Equipment and
Material; Updates and Clarifications'' (75 FR 44072; July 28, 2010).
Uranium heels were added as a provision under the general license by
the final rule ``Export and Import of Nuclear Equipment and Materials''
(65 FR 70287; November 22, 2000). This final rule also amends the
provision by adding the United Kingdom to reflect the changes that
resulted from the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union.
10 CFR Part 150
Insert Missing Language. This final rule amends Sec. 150.15 by
adding ``or part 52 of this chapter'' to paragraphs (a)(7)(iii) and
(a)(8) to reference licensees under 10 CFR part 52.
Insert Missing Language. This final rule amends Sec. 150.15 by
restoring paragraph (a)(9), which was incorrectly removed by the 2014
final rule ``Safeguards Information-Modified Handling Categorization;
Change for Materials Facilities'' (79 FR 58664; September 30, 2014).
III. Rulemaking Procedures
Under section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553(b)), an agency may waive publication in the Federal Register of a
notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for comment requirements
if it finds, for good cause, that it is 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 these amendments, because notice and opportunity for
comment is unnecessary. The amendments will have no substantive impact
and are of a minor and administrative nature dealing with corrections
to certain CFR sections or are related only to management,
organization, procedure, and practice. Specifically, the revisions
correct typographical errors, remove obsolete language, insert missing
language, and update the telephone number for the NRC's Region IV
office. The Commission is exercising its authority under 5 U.S.C.
553(b) to publish these amendments as a final rule. The amendments are
effective December 14, 2022. These amendments do not require action by
any person or entity regulated by the NRC and do not change the
substantive responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by the
NRC.
IV. Backfitting and Issue Finality
The NRC has determined that the corrections in this final rule
would not constitute backfitting as defined in Sec. 50.109,
``Backfitting,'' and as described in NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.4,
``Management of Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and
Information Requests.'' These corrections also would not constitute
forward fitting as that term is defined and described in MD 8.4 or
affect the issue finality of any approval issued under 10 CFR part 52.
The amendments are non-substantive in nature, including correcting
typographical errors, removing obsolete language, inserting missing
language, and updating the telephone number for the NRC's Region IV
office. 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 that would be
inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. For
these reasons, the issuance of this final rule would not constitute
backfitting or be inconsistent 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.
V. 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
31885).
VI. National Environmental Policy Act
The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action
described in Sec. 51.22(c)(2), which categorically excludes from
environmental review rules that are corrective or of a minor, nonpolicy
nature and do not substantially modify existing regulations. Therefore,
neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental
assessment has been prepared for this rule.
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not contain a collection of information as
defined in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
and, therefore, is not subject to the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
VIII. Congressional Review Act
This final rule is not a rule as defined in the Congressional
Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808).
IX. Compatibility of Agreement State Regulations
Under the ``Agreement State Program Policy Statement,'' approved by
the Commission on October 2, 2017, and published in the Federal
Register on October 18, 2017 (82 FR 48535), NRC program elements
(including regulations) are placed into compatibility categories A, B,
C, D, NRC, or adequacy category Health and Safety (H&S). Compatibility
Category A program elements are those program elements that are basic
radiation protection standards and scientific terms and definitions
that are necessary to understand radiation protection concepts. An
Agreement State should adopt Category A program elements in an
essentially identical manner in order to provide uniformity in the
regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis. Compatibility
Category B program elements are those program elements that apply to
activities that have direct and significant effects in multiple
jurisdictions. An Agreement State should adopt Category B program
elements in an essentially identical manner. Compatibility Category C
program elements are those program elements that do not meet the
criteria of Category A or B but contain the essential objectives that
an Agreement State should adopt to avoid conflict, duplication, gaps,
or other conditions that would jeopardize an orderly pattern in the
regulation of agreement material on a national basis. An Agreement
State should adopt the essential objectives of the Category C program
elements. Compatibility Category D program elements are those program
elements
[[Page 68030]]
that do not meet any of the criteria of Category A, B, or C and,
therefore, do not need to be adopted by Agreement States for purposes
of compatibility. Compatibility Category NRC program elements are those
program elements that address areas of regulation that cannot be
relinquished to the Agreement States under the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended, or provisions of 10 CFR. These program elements
should not be adopted by the Agreement States. Compatibility Category
H&S program elements are program elements that are required because of
a particular health and safety role in the regulation of agreement
material within the State and should be adopted in a manner that
embodies the essential objectives of the NRC program. The portions of
this final rule that amend 10 CFR parts 20, 35, and 150 are a matter of
compatibility between the NRC and the Agreement States, thereby
providing consistency among Agreement State and NRC requirements, and
are listed in the following table. The changes to 10 CFR parts 50, 51,
52, 72, 73, and 110 categories are not subject to Agreement State
jurisdiction and consequently are not required for compatibility.
