Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION:
Final rule.
SU:::'ARY:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is 2:ending its regulations by revising the charges for copying records publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room in Washingtcn, DC.
The amendment is necessary to reflect the change in copying charges resulting from the Commission's award of a new contract for the copying of records.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
(Upon publication in the Federal Register).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Thomas E.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The NRC maintains a Public Document Roc = (PDR) at 2120 L Street, NW.
(Lower Level), Wasnington, DC.
The PDR contains an extensive collection of publicly available technical and administrative records that the NRC receives or f

generates.
Requests by the public for the duplication of records at the PDR have traditionally been accommodated by a duplicating service contractor selected by the NRC.
The schedule of duplication charges to the public established in the duplicating service contract is set forth in 10 CFR 9.35 of the Cc= mission's regulations.
The NRC has recently awarded a new duplicating service contact.
The revised fee schedule reflects the changes l
in copying charges to the public that have resulted from the awarding of the new contract for the duplication of records at the PDR.
l Because this is an amendment dealing with agency practice and procedure, the notice provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553 (b) ( A).
In addition, the PDR users were notified on July 2, 1993, that the new contract was being awarded and that the new prc es would go into effect on July 13, 1993.
The amendment is ef fective upon publication in the Federal Register.
Good cause exists to dispense the usual 30-day delay in the effective date because the amendment is of a minor and administrative nature dealing with i
agency procedures.
Environmental Impact:
Categorical Exclusion The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action described in categorical exclusion 10 CFR 51. 22 (c) (1).

Therefore, neither an 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 of fice of Management and Budget approval number 3150-0043.
Regulatory Analysis The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is amending its regulations governing the rates charged for copying records at
)
the NRC Public Document Room due to the signing of a new contract for the copying of records.
This rule has no significant impact on health, safety or the environment.
There is no substantial cost to licensees, the NRC or other Federal agencies.
l l
Backfit Analysis The NRC has determined that the Backfit Rule, 10 CFR 50.109, does not apply to this final rule and that a backfit analysis is not required for this final rule, because these amendments of l
l
\\
4 regulations do not involve any provisions which '.-rould impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR 50.109 (a) (1).
