2-collection requirements in 10 CfH Part 81 under control number 3150-0121.

t Accordingly, t 81.8 is being revised to correctly indicate this fact.

Becodse this is an amendment dealing with agency practice and procedures, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to S U.S.C. 553(b)(A).

The amendment is effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Good cause exists to dispense with the usual 30-day delay in the effective date because the am2ndment is of a J

minor and administrative nature dealing with the announcement of the clearance number under which OMB has approved the information collection requirements contained in 10 CFR Part 81.

Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion The NRC has determined that this fina', rule is the type of action describedincategoricalexclusion10CFR01.22(c)(3). Therefore neither en environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment has been prepared for this final rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement This final rule does not contain a new or amended information collection requirement subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing requirements were approved by the Office of lianagement and Budget approval number 3150-0121.

apply to this final rule, and therefore, that a backtit analysis is not

- l required for this final rule, because this amenoment does not involve any l

provisions which would impose backfits es definea in 10 CFR 50.109(a)(1).
