o The amendments presented in this final rule are necessary to formally remove references to the Office of Inspector and Auditor (01A) from 10 CFR Chapter 1.

The authority and responsibility for 01A functions have been tra.*ferred to the 0!G.

Because these are amendments dealing with agency practice and procedure, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)( A). The amendmer.ts are effective upon publication in the Federal Register.

Good cause exists to dispense with the usual 30-day delay in the effective date, because these amendments are of a minor and administrative nature, dealing with the agency's reorganization.

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)(2).

Therefore, neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment has been prepared for this fine! rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement This final rule contains no information collection requirements and therefore is not subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Existing requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget approval number 3150-0025.
