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 §§ 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.’’

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.’’

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).

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

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.

(2) No radiological release or an unplanned
minimal radiological release that does not
require public protective actions;
(3) An initial classification of, or rapid
escalation to, a Site Area Emergency or
General Emergency;
(4) Implementation of strategies,
procedures, and guidance under
§ 50.155(b)(2); and
(5) Integration of offsite resources with
onsite response.
(iv) The licensee shall maintain a record of
exercises conducted during each 8-year
exercise cycle that documents the content of
scenarios used to comply with the
requirements of section IV.F.2.j of this
appendix.
(v) Each licensee shall conduct a hostile
action exercise for each of its sites no later
than December 31, 2015.
(vi) The first 8-year exercise cycle for a site
will begin in the calendar year in which the
first hostile action exercise is conducted. For
a site licensed under 10 CFR part 52, the first
8-year exercise cycle begins in the calendar
year of the initial exercise required by section
IV.F.2.a of this appendix.

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.
