FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tricia Lizama, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; telephone: 301-415-4110; email: *TriciaDolores.Lizama@nrc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The NRC is amending its regulations in parts 50, 52, and 54 of title 10 of the *Code of Federal Regulations* (10 CFR). The NRC is making these amendments to clarify language and correct grammatical and typographical errors, punctuation, references, and terms. 10 CFR Parts 50 and 54 *Correct Grammatical Errors.* This final rule revises § 50.10(e)(1)(iii) to remove periods and adjust capitalization to reflect that this paragraph contains a continuous list of items required for issuance of a limited work authorization. *Remove Outdated Term.* This final rule revises § 50.30(d) to remove references to “an amendment to an application for a license to construct and operate a production or utilization facility” as this appears to be an outdated license application type ( *i.e.,* a forerunner to the current combined license). *Correct Term.* This final rule amends § 50.33(j) and § 54.17(f) by removing the undefined term “other defense information.” The term dates to an Atomic Energy Commission

(AEC)amendment of this section on January 19, 1956 (21 FR 355, 357) and was not changed with the promulgation of 10 CFR part 95 (45 FR 14476; March 5, 1980) after the establishment of the NRC and the 1975 reissuance of the former AEC regulations. This final rule replaces the outdated term with the term “classified National Security Information,” for consistency with other use of this term in parts 50 and 54. *Clarify Language and Correct Punctuation.* This final rule revises the first sentence of § 50.36b(b) to clarify the potential for removal of the authority to operate the reactor when a final, legally effective order to permanently cease operations comes into effect under § 50.82(a)(1) or § 52.110(a). This final rule also revises the second sentence to add a comma before the word “which.” *Correct Grammatical and Typographical Errors.* This final rule revises the introductory text of § 50.43(e) to replace the word “which” with the word “that,” and to replace a period with a comma and adjust capitalization to eliminate two incomplete sentences. *Clarify Language.* This final rule revises § 50.55(e)(2)(i) to clarify the scope of license holders that are subject to this regulation ( *i.e.,* the regulations are only applicable to holders of a construction permit, combined license, or a manufacturing license and not all licensees subject to the regulations in 10 CFR part 50). This final rule also clarifies the introductory text of paragraph (e)(3)(iii) and paragraph (e)(4)(ii) by adding “or manufactured reactor” because the § 21.3 definition of “basic component” does not appear to be broad enough to include the term. Finally, this final rule updates the initial notification requirements in paragraph (e)(5)(i) to reflect that emails are also a permissible initial notification method in addition to facsimile and phone notification options. This final rule amends § 50.59(c)(1)(i) by replacing the phrase “A change” with “An amendment” to avoid using the defined term “change” that is used elsewhere in this section. *Correct References and Grammatical Error.* This final rule revises § 50.82(a) by adding the actual effective date of the Decommissioning of Nuclear Power Reactors final rule in paragraph (a)(1)(iii), removing the incorrect reference to § 50.2 in the introductory text to paragraph (a)(6), and correcting the placement of the semicolon at the end of paragraph (a)(8)(i)(B). *Correct Reference.* This final rule amends § 50.100 to change the reference to § 50.42(a) to instead reference § 50.42. The provisions in § 50.42(a) were moved to § 50.42 by 73 FR 44619, July 31, 2008 and the reference to § 50.42(a) is no longer valid. *Correct Typographical Error.* This final rule amends § 50.109(a)(4) by correcting “appropriated documented evaluation” to read “appropriate documented evaluation.” 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52 *Clarify Language and Correct Punctuation.* This final rule amends § 50.37 by adding the word “or” and commas, and § 52.54(c) by adding commas, to correct drafting errors and ensure parallel language. The preamble for the rulemaking that modified the parallel language in 10 CFR parts 50 and 52, Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants, provides a discussion on the intended language for these sections (72 FR 49352; August 28, 2007). 10 CFR Part 52 *Clarify Language.* This final rule amends § 52.26(b) by adding the words “early site” to the phrase “if a timely application for renewal of the permit has been docketed” to clarify that the term “permit” refers to the early site permit and not to the construction permit for which an application was submitted. This final rule revises the introductory text of § 52.31(a) to clarify that it is a criterion for renewal and § 52.31(b) to reflect that the provisions in § 52.31(a) are applicable to the Commission and not to the applicant for renewal of an early site permit. This final rule amends § 52.39(c) by removing the word “should” to improve the clarity of the paragraph and § 52.39(e) by replacing the word “including” with the word “or” to clarify the relationship between the early site permit and the site safety analysis report. *Correct Reference.* This final rule revises the reference in § 52.91(b) to clarify that the sole activities permitted under paragraph

(a)of this section are the submittal of an application for a limited work authorization under § 50.10. *Correct Grammatical Error.* This final rule amends § 52.103(b)(2) by removing the word “that,” which is already included in the introductory text of paragraph (b). *Remove References and Correct Punctuation.* This final rule amends § 52.110(e) to remove the incorrect reference to § 50.2 and the introductory text of § 52.110(f) to remove the incorrect reference to § 52.1, since neither reference contains a definition for “decommissioning activities.” This final rule also amends § 52.110(h)(1)(ii) to correct the placement of the semicolon. *Correct Punctuation.* This final rule amends § 52.158(a)(1)(i) to replace the semicolon after “manufacturing license” with a comma. *Correct Term.* This final rule amends § 52.177(d) by removing the term “permit” and adding the term “license” to reflect that a manufacturing license is considered a license in accordance with the definitions in § 52.1. II. 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 clarify language and correct grammatical and typographical errors, punctuation, references, and terms. 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 August 15, 2024. 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. III. 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 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 clarifying language and correcting grammatical and typographical errors, punctuation, references, and terms. 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. IV. 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). V. 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. VI. 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. VII. Congressional Review Act This final rule is not a rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808). List of Subjects 10 CFR Part 50 Administrative practice and procedure, Antitrust, Backfitting, Classified information, Criminal penalties, Education, Emergency planning, Fire prevention, Fire protection, Intergovernmental relations, Nuclear power plants and reactors, Penalties, Radiation protection, Reactor siting criteria, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Whistleblowing. 10 CFR Part 52 Administrative practice and procedure, Antitrust, Combined license, Early site permit, Emergency planning, Fees, Inspection, Issue finality, Limited work authorization, Manufacturing license, Nuclear power plants and reactors, Probabilistic risk assessment, Prototype, Reactor siting criteria, Redress of site, Penalties, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Standard design, Standard design certification. 10 CFR Part 54 Administrative practice and procedure, Age-related degradation, Backfitting, Classified information, Criminal penalties, Environmental protection, Nuclear power plants and reactors, Penalties, Radiation protection, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

(3)or § 50.22 or is a testing facility, may include conditions to protect the environment during operation and decommissioning. These conditions are to be set out in an attachment to the license, which is incorporated in and made a part of the license. These conditions will be derived from information contained in the environmental report or the supplement to the environmental report submitted pursuant to §§ 51.50 and 51.53 of this chapter as analyzed and evaluated in the NRC record of decision, and will identify the obligations of the licensee in the environmental area, including, as appropriate, requirements for reporting and keeping records of environmental data, and any conditions and monitoring requirement for the protection of the nonaquatic environment. 6. Revise and republish § 50.37 to read as follows: § 50.37 Agreement limiting access to Classified Information. As part of its application and in any event before the receipt of Restricted Data or classified National Security Information or the issuance of a license, construction permit, early site permit, or standard design approval, or before the Commission has adopted a final standard design certification rule under part 52 of this chapter, the applicant shall agree in writing that it will not permit any individual to have access to, or any facility to possess, Restricted Data or classified National Security Information until the individual and/or facility has been approved for access under the provisions of 10 CFR parts 25 and/or 95. The agreement of the applicant becomes part of the license, or construction permit, or standard design approval. 7. In § 50.43, revise paragraph
