Final rule.
SUMMARY
- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations by revising the charges for copying records publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room in Washington, DC. The amendments are necessary in order to reflect the change in copying charges resulting from the Commission's award of a new contract for the copying of records.

!!UN 181985 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Philips, Chief, Rules and Procedures Branch, Division of Rules and Records, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Telephone:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The NRC maintains a Public Document Room (PDR) at its headquarters at 1717 H Street, NW, Washington, DC.
The PDR contains an l
l extensive collection of publicly available technical and administrative t
l records that the NRC receives or generates.
Requests by the public for the reproduction of records at the PDR have traditionally been accommodated by a copying service contractor selected by the NRC. The schedule of reproduction charges to the public established in the copying service contract is set forth g\\
in 10 CFR 9.14 of the Commission's regulations.
The NRC has recently awarded

2 a new copying service contract. The revised fee schedule reflects the changes in copying charges to the public that have resulted from the awarding of the new contract for the reproduction of records at the PDR.
Pecause these are amendments dealing with agency practice and procedures, 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 June 3, 1985, that the new contract was being awarded and that the new prices would go into effect on June 10, 1985.
The amendments are effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Good cause exists to dispense the usual 30-day delay in the effective date b2cause the amendments are of a minor and administrative nature dealing with agency procedures.
f REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY ACT 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(A) requires the NRC, as a Federal agency, to promul-gate regulations "... specifying a uniform schedule of fees applicable to all constitutent units of such agency."
(emphasis added).
Therefore, no analysis of any differential impacts on small entities is necessary.

1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
