SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC is amending its regulations in parts 37, 40, 70, 71, 72, 73, 76, and 95 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) to make miscellaneous corrections. These changes include removing an office from a list of office recipients, removing an office reference, correcting an office designation and a phone number, removing and correcting division titles, and removing a followup reporting instruction. This document is necessary to inform the public of these nonsubstantive amendments to the NRC’s regulations. II. Summary of Changes 10 CFR Part 37 Remove Office Reference. In § 37.7(a), this final rule removes the Director, Division of Security Policy, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response, from the list of recipients. 10 CFR Parts 37 and 40 Remove Reporting Instruction. In §§ 37.81(g) and 40.64(c)(2) and (3), this final rule removes the erroneous instructions for where to submit a copy of a followup notification. These paragraphs already point to the sections that provide the appropriate mailing address and addressee(s). 10 CFR Parts 37, 40, 70, 71, 72, and 73 Remove Division Title. In §§ 37.77, 40.23(b)(1), 40.66(a) and (b)(5), 40.67(a), 70.5, 70.20, 71.97, 73.4, 73.37, 73.71, 73.72, 73.73, and 73.74, this final rule removes the Division of Security Policy to ensure that correspondence goes directly to the Director, Office of PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Nuclear Security and Incident Response rather than to a division director. 10 CFR Parts 40, 73, and 76 Correct Division Title. In §§ 40.23(c), 40.66(c), and 40.67(c) and (d), 73.26, 73.27, 73.67, and 76.5a, this final rule corrects the title of the Division of Security Policy to read as Division of Physical and Cyber Security Policy. 10 CFR Part 40 Correct Designation. In § 40.23(b)(2)(ix), this final rule replaces the Division of Security Policy with the higher level designation of the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response. Correct Telephone Number. In § 40.23(d), this final rule removes the incorrect telephone number ‘‘(301) 415– 6828’’ and replaces it with the correct telephone number ‘‘(301) 287–3598’’ for the Director of the Division of Physical and Cyber Security Policy. 10 CFR Part 70 Correct Office Designation. In § 70.32(c)(2), (e), and (i), this final rule replaces the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response with the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. 10 CFR Part 72 Remove Division Title. In § 72.186(b), this final rule removes the Division of Spent Fuel Management so that notifications go to the Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards rather than to division level management. 10 CFR Part 95 Remove Division Title. In § 95.9(a), this final rule removes the Division of Security Operations so that notification go to Office level management rather than division level management. III. Rulemaking Procedure Under section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency may waive the requirements for publication in the Federal Register of a notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for comment 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 E:\FR\FM\21NOR1.SGM 21NOR1 58722 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 21, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 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. These changes include removing an office from a list of office recipients, removing an office reference, correcting an office designation and a phone number, removing and correcting division titles, and removing a followup reporting instruction. 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 21, 2018. 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. Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action described in 10 CFR 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. V. 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. khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES Public Protection Notification The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the document requesting or requiring the collection displays a currently valid OMB control number. VI. 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 31883). VII. Backfitting and Issue Finality The NRC has determined that the corrections in this final rule do not VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:51 Nov 20, 2018 Jkt 247001 constitute backfitting and are not inconsistent with any of the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. The amendments are non-substantive in nature, including removing an office from a list of office recipients, removing an office reference, correcting an office designation and a phone number, removing and correcting division titles, and removing a followup reporting instruction. 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 a violation of 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. VIII. Congressional Review Act This final rule is not a rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801–808).

The final ratings framework applies to bank holding companies and noninsurance, non-commercial savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more, and U.S. intermediate holding companies of foreign banking organizations established under Regulation YY with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more. In the years following the 2007–2009 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve developed a supervisory program specifically designed to enhance resiliency and address the risks posed by large financial institutions to U.S. financial stability (LFI supervisory program). As set forth in SR letter 12– 17/CA letter 12–14, the LFI supervisory program focuses supervisory attention on the core areas that are most likely to threaten the firm’s financial and operational strength and resilience (capital, liquidity, and governance and controls).1 This orientation is intended to reduce the likelihood of the failure or material distress of a large financial institution, and reduce the risk to U.S. financial stability in the event of failure. The Federal Reserve coordinates its supervision of firms that pose the greatest risk to U.S. financial stability through the Large Institution Supervision Coordinating Committee (LISCC). The LISCC supervisory program conducts annual horizontal reviews of LISCC firms and firm-specific examination work focused on evaluating those firms’ (i) capital adequacy under normal and stressed conditions; (ii) liquidity positions and risk management practices; (iii) recovery and resolution preparedness; and (iv) governance and controls.2 For large financial institutions that are not LISCC firms, the Federal 1 ‘‘Financial strength and resilience’’ is defined as maintaining effective capital and liquidity governance and planning processes, and sufficiency of related positions, to provide for continuity of the consolidated organization (including its critical operations and banking offices) through a range of conditions. ‘‘Operational strength and resilience’’ is defined as maintaining effective governance and controls to provide for continuity of the consolidated organization (including its critical operations and banking offices) and to promote compliance with laws and regulations, including those related to consumer protection, through a range of conditions. Under SR letter 12–17/CA letter 12–14, ‘‘banking offices’’ are defined as U.S. depository institution subsidiaries and the U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banking organizations. 2 See the list of firms included in the LISCC supervisory program at https:// www.federalreserve.gov/bankinforeg/largeinstitution-supervision.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The NRC is amending its regulations in parts 37, 40, 70, 71, 72, 
73, 76, and 95 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 
to make miscellaneous corrections. These changes include removing an 
office from a list of office recipients, removing an office reference, 
correcting an office designation and a phone number, removing and 
correcting division titles, and removing a followup reporting 
instruction. This document is necessary to inform the public of these 
non-substantive amendments to the NRC's regulations.

II. Summary of Changes

10 CFR Part 37

    Remove Office Reference. In Sec.  37.7(a), this final rule removes 
the Director, Division of Security Policy, Office of Nuclear Security 
and Incident Response, from the list of recipients.

10 CFR Parts 37 and 40

    Remove Reporting Instruction. In Sec. Sec.  37.81(g) and 
40.64(c)(2) and (3), this final rule removes the erroneous instructions 
for where to submit a copy of a followup notification. These paragraphs 
already point to the sections that provide the appropriate mailing 
address and addressee(s).

10 CFR Parts 37, 40, 70, 71, 72, and 73

    Remove Division Title. In Sec. Sec.  37.77, 40.23(b)(1), 40.66(a) 
and (b)(5), 40.67(a), 70.5, 70.20, 71.97, 73.4, 73.37, 73.71, 73.72, 
73.73, and 73.74, this final rule removes the Division of Security 
Policy to ensure that correspondence goes directly to the Director, 
Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response rather than to a 
division director.

10 CFR Parts 40, 73, and 76

    Correct Division Title. In Sec. Sec.  40.23(c), 40.66(c), and 
40.67(c) and (d), 73.26, 73.27, 73.67, and 76.5a, this final rule 
corrects the title of the Division of Security Policy to read as 
Division of Physical and Cyber Security Policy.

10 CFR Part 40

    Correct Designation. In Sec.  40.23(b)(2)(ix), this final rule 
replaces the Division of Security Policy with the higher level 
designation of the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response.
    Correct Telephone Number. In Sec.  40.23(d), this final rule 
removes the incorrect telephone number ``(301) 415-6828'' and replaces 
it with the correct telephone number ``(301) 287-3598'' for the 
Director of the Division of Physical and Cyber Security Policy.

10 CFR Part 70

    Correct Office Designation. In Sec.  70.32(c)(2), (e), and (i), 
this final rule replaces the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident 
Response with the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

10 CFR Part 72

    Remove Division Title. In Sec.  72.186(b), this final rule removes 
the Division of Spent Fuel Management so that notifications go to the 
Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards rather than 
to division level management.

10 CFR Part 95

    Remove Division Title. In Sec.  95.9(a), this final rule removes 
the Division of Security Operations so that notification go to Office 
level management rather than division level management.

III. Rulemaking Procedure

    Under section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553(b)), an agency may waive the requirements for publication in the 
Federal Register of a notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for 
comment 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

[[Page 58722]]

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. These changes include removing an office from a list of 
office recipients, removing an office reference, correcting an office 
designation and a phone number, removing and correcting division 
titles, and removing a followup reporting instruction. 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 21, 
2018. 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. Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion

    The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action 
described in 10 CFR 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.

V. 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.

Public Protection Notification

    The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless the document requesting 
or requiring the collection displays a currently valid OMB control 
number.

VI. 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 
31883).

VII. Backfitting and Issue Finality

    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 amendments are non-
substantive in nature, including removing an office from a list of 
office recipients, removing an office reference, correcting an office 
designation and a phone number, removing and correcting division 
titles, and removing a followup reporting instruction. 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 a violation of 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.

VIII. Congressional Review Act

    This final rule is not a rule as defined in the Congressional 
Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808).
