Mail Classification Schedule, 52577-52578 [2018-22663]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 201 / Wednesday, October 17, 2018 / Notices III. Backfitting and Issue Finality This RG provides guidance on establishing and conducting an environmental dosimetry program that the NRC staff considers acceptable for monitoring direct radiation released into the unrestricted area and the controlled area of a licensed facility. The NRC regards these requirements as constituting information collection and reporting requirements. The NRC has long taken the position that information collection and reporting requirements are not subject to the NRC’s backfitting and issue finality regulations in 10 CFR 50.109, 10 CFR 70.76, 10 CFR 72.62, 10 CFR 76.76, and 10 CFR part 52 (e.g., ‘‘Material Control and Accounting Methods,’’ December 23, 2002 (67 FR 78130); and ‘‘Regulatory Improvements to the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System,’’ June 9, 2008 (73 FR 32453)). Therefore, the NRC has determined that its backfitting and issue finality regulations would not apply to this DG, if ultimately issued as a RG, because the RG does not include any provisions within the scope of matters covered by the backfitting provisions in 10 CFR parts 50, 70, 72, or 76, or the issue finality provisions of 10 CFR part 52. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of October 2018. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Thomas H. Boyce, Chief, Regulatory Guidance and Generic Issues Branch, Division of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.

Summary of Changes The Postal Service proposes revisions to references to the names of a dozen foreign countries in the MCS, as well as a minor editorial change.

Id. at 1–2. III.
