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 amendment is 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.
)
EFFECTIVE DATE:
September 5, 1989.
1 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kathleen E. Ruhlman, Public Document Room Branch, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, telephone 202-634-3366.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The NRC maintains a Public Document i
Room (PDR) at its headquarters at 2120 L Street, NW, Lower Level, Washington, DC.
The PDR contains an extensive collection of
~
publicly available technical and administrative records that the fu[}ishek [n Ike 8910050122 890829 I
PDR PR c)c,g k egs thtr 9 54FR36757 PDR

Y NRC receives or generate s.
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 Commission's regulations.
The NRC has recently awarded a new duplicating 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 duplication of records at the PDR.
Because this is an amendment dealing with agency practice and procedures, the notice provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553 (b) (A).
In addition, the PDR users were notified on June 30, 1989, that the new contract was being awarded and that the new prices would go into effect on July 10, 1989.
The amendment is effective upon 3
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 agency procedures.
l Environmental Impact:
Categorical Exclusion 4
l The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action described in categorical exclusion 10 CFR 51.22 (c) (1).
3 Therefore, neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment-has been prepared for this final rule.
I Paperwork Reduction Act Statement i
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 1
approved by the office of Mangement and Budget approval number l
3150-0043.
Backfit Analysis This final rule pertains solely to minor administrative procedures of the NRC; therefore, no backfit analysis has been I
prepared.
