SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission promulgated on March 14, 1977 (42 FR 13803) an interim rule identifying the environmental impact values
7590-01 for the uranium fuel cycle which are to be included in environmental reports and environmental impact statements for individual light water nuclear power reactors. The interim rule was made effective for 18 months with the possibility of extension for good cause. The Commission found good cause to extend the effectiveness of the interim rule and by notice published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on September 18, 1978 (43 FR 41373) extended the period of effectiveness of the interim rule through March 14, 1979. The amendment set forth below makes a conforming amendment to 10 CFR Part 51 by changing the date in the last sentence of s Sl.20(e) from " September 14, 1978" to " March 14, 1979".
Because this amendment relates solely to minor matters, good cause exists for omitting notice of proposed rule making, and public procedure thereon as unnecessary. Since the amendment of 6 51.20(e) merely changes the date therein to conform with the new effectiveness date for the interim fuel cycle rule which was established by the Commission's notice -
on September 18, 1978, the Commission has found that good cause exists for making the amendment effective immediately without the customary 30-day notice.
Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, and sections 552 and 553 of Title 5 of the United States Code, the following amendment to Title 10, Chapter I, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 51 is published as a document subject to codification. ,
