Nuclear Regulatory Commission 10 CFR Parts 1, 2, 4, 7, 9,15, 76, and 110 RIN 3150-AF89 Statement of Organization and General Information; Minor Amendments AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Final rule,.
SUMMARY
- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is revising it.s statement of organization and generalinformation to reflect the reorganization within the Office of Administration, the creation of the Office of the Chief Information Officer and the creation of the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, These changes are necessary to inform the public of these administrative changes to the NRC's regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David L. Meyer, Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone (301) 415-7162.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On April 21,1997, the NRC announced the reorganization of the Office of Administration effective April 15,1997. The purposes of the reorganization were to (1) further emphasize the Office's service philosophy by centralizing employee services in a new Division of Administrative Services encompassing an Administrative Services Center, (2) gain efficiencies by integrating the functions of security and facilities management in a single organizational unit; (3) streamline ADM's structure by improving the supervisor / employee ratio; and, (4) accomplish
, other operational efficiencies.
This final rule also notifies the public that the Office of information Resources
' Management and the Office of the Controller have been abolished and that the functions of L
l
- these offices have been incorporated into the newly created Office of the Chief Information
E
+.
2 i
Officer and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer respectively.
This final rule also notes the name change of the Office of Personnel to the Office of Human Resources and other minor administrative changes.
Because these amendments deal with agency practice and procedures, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(A). The amendments 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.
EnvironmentalImpact: 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 final rule.
4 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.).
