This final rule updates the authority citation for 10 CFR part 9 to include the reference for the Social Security Number Fraud Prevention Act of 2017. 10 CFR Parts 37 and 110 Correct Mathematical Formula. This final rule revises appendix A to 10 CFR part 37 and appendix P to 10 CFR part 110 to correct a sum of fractions formula. The correction is necessary to make the expression mathematically reflect that an indefinite number of nuclides may be included in the calculation, consistent with the explanations in the respective rule texts. An ellipsis and a plus sign are added at the appropriate locations, and the summation sign (sigma) and brackets are deleted as unnecessary. 10 CFR Parts 40 and 73 Update Internal Procedures. This final rule revises §§ 40.23(b)(1), 40.66(a), 40.67(a), 73.73(a)(1), and 73.74(a)(1) to add the email address that has been used for submitting advance notices for shipments of radioactive material. 10 CFR Part 50 Revise Contact Information. This final rule amends the introductory text of § 50.74 to refer licensees to the appropriate contact information in § 55.5. Provide Clarity. This final rule revises section IV.F.2.j of appendix E to 10 CFR part 50 to clarify the emergency preparedness exercise scenarios that must be performed within an 8-year exercise cycle. This revision does not change the regulations; it only clarifies the regulations by adding paragraph numbers and organization. 10 CFR Part 51 Correct Spelling. This final rule amends footnote 4 to § 51.52 to correct ‘‘appiled’’ to read ‘‘applied.’’ This final rule also amends § 51.10(b)(2) to correct ‘‘acitivity’’ to read ‘‘activity.’’ E:\FR\FM\30NOR1.SGM 30NOR1 67840 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 30, 2021 / Rules and Regulations reference ‘‘10 CFR 50.33(a) through (c) and (j).’’ 10 CFR Part 55 Correct Punctation. This final rule amends § 55.33(a)(1) to correct the word ‘‘applicants’’ to read ‘‘applicant’s.’’ 10 CFR Part 71 Correct a Formatting Error. This final rule corrects § 71.4 to italicize the term licensed material. 10 CFR Part 110 Correct Grammatical Error. This final rule amends the definition for medical isotope in § 110.2 to correct the phrase ‘‘radiopharmaceutical for diagnostic, therapeutic procedures or for research and development’’ to read ‘‘radiopharmaceutical for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures or for research and development.’’ lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 III. Rulemaking Procedure 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 a grammatical error, punctuation, a reference, formatting, a mathematical formula, and spelling; clarify language; revise contact information; and update an authority citation and internal procedures. 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 30, 2021. 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 § 50.109, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:56 Nov 29, 2021 Jkt 256001 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 a grammatical error, punctuation, a reference, formatting, a mathematical formula, and spelling; clarifying language; revising contact information; and updating an authority citation and internal procedures. 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 § 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). PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 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 37, 40, and 71 are a matter of compatibility between the NRC and the Agreement States, thereby providing consistency among E:\FR\FM\30NOR1.SGM 30NOR1 67841 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 30, 2021 / Rules and Regulations Agreement State and NRC requirements, and are listed in the following table. The changes to 10 CFR parts 9, 50, 51, 52, 55, 73, and 110 categories are not subject to Agreement State jurisdiction and consequently are not required for compatibility.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The NRC is amending its regulations in parts 9, 37, 40, 50, 51, 52, 
55, 71, 73, and 110 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 
CFR). The NRC is making these amendments to correct a grammatical 
error, punctuation, a reference, formatting, a mathematical formula, 
and spelling; clarify language; revise contact information; and update 
an authority citation and internal procedures.

II. Summary of Changes

10 CFR Part 9

    Update Authority Citation. This final rule updates the authority 
citation for 10 CFR part 9 to include the reference for the Social 
Security Number Fraud Prevention Act of 2017.

10 CFR Parts 37 and 110

    Correct Mathematical Formula. This final rule revises appendix A to 
10 CFR part 37 and appendix P to 10 CFR part 110 to correct a sum of 
fractions formula. The correction is necessary to make the expression 
mathematically reflect that an indefinite number of nuclides may be 
included in the calculation, consistent with the explanations in the 
respective rule texts. An ellipsis and a plus sign are added at the 
appropriate locations, and the summation sign (sigma) and brackets are 
deleted as unnecessary.

10 CFR Parts 40 and 73

    Update Internal Procedures. This final rule revises Sec. Sec.  
40.23(b)(1), 40.66(a), 40.67(a), 73.73(a)(1), and 73.74(a)(1) to add 
the email address that has been used for submitting advance notices for 
shipments of radioactive material.

10 CFR Part 50

    Revise Contact Information. This final rule amends the introductory 
text of Sec.  50.74 to refer licensees to the appropriate contact 
information in Sec.  55.5.
    Provide Clarity. This final rule revises section IV.F.2.j of 
appendix E to 10 CFR part 50 to clarify the emergency preparedness 
exercise scenarios that must be performed within an 8-year exercise 
cycle. This revision does not change the regulations; it only clarifies 
the regulations by adding paragraph numbers and organization.

10 CFR Part 51

    Correct Spelling. This final rule amends footnote 4 to Sec.  51.52 
to correct ``appiled'' to read ``applied.'' This final rule also amends 
Sec.  51.10(b)(2) to correct ``acitivity'' to read ``activity.''

10 CFR Part 52

    Correct Reference. This final rule amends Sec.  52.136 by removing 
the reference ``10 CFR 50.33(a) through (d) and (j)'' and adding in its 
place the

[[Page 67840]]

reference ``10 CFR 50.33(a) through (c) and (j).''

10 CFR Part 55

    Correct Punctation. This final rule amends Sec.  55.33(a)(1) to 
correct the word ``applicants'' to read ``applicant's.''

10 CFR Part 71

    Correct a Formatting Error. This final rule corrects Sec.  71.4 to 
italicize the term licensed material.

10 CFR Part 110

    Correct Grammatical Error. This final rule amends the definition 
for medical isotope in Sec.  110.2 to correct the phrase 
``radiopharmaceutical for diagnostic, therapeutic procedures or for 
research and development'' to read ``radiopharmaceutical for diagnostic 
or therapeutic procedures or for research and development.''

III. Rulemaking Procedure

    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 a grammatical error, punctuation, a reference, 
formatting, a mathematical formula, and spelling; clarify language; 
revise contact information; and update an authority citation and 
internal procedures. 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 30, 2021. 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 a 
grammatical error, punctuation, a reference, formatting, a mathematical 
formula, and spelling; clarifying language; revising contact 
information; and updating an authority citation and internal 
procedures. 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 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 37, 40, and 71 are a matter of 
compatibility between the NRC and the Agreement States, thereby 
providing consistency among

[[Page 67841]]

Agreement State and NRC requirements, and are listed in the following 
table. The changes to 10 CFR parts 9, 50, 51, 52, 55, 73, and 110 
categories are not subject to Agreement State jurisdiction and 
consequently are not required for compatibility.
