Accroved for Publication The Commission has delegated to the EDO (10 CFR 1.31(c)) the authority to develop and promulgate rules as defined in the APA (5 U.S.C.551(4)) subject to the limitations in NRC Management Directive 9.17, Organization and Functions, " Office of the Executive Director for l Operations," paragraphs 0213,038,039, and 0310. l The attached final rule entitled " Statement of Organization and General Information; Minor l Amendments" amends 10 CFR Parts 1,2,4,7,9,15,16,76, and 110. The final rule reflects 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 amendments also rcflect other administrative changes. These amendments are necessary to inform the public of these administrative changes to the NRC's regulations.

This final rule does not constitute a significant question of policy; although it amends regulations contained in 10 CFR Parts 7 and 9, the amendments are administrative and do not concern matters of policy. I therefore find that this rule is within the scope of my rulemaking authority and am proceeding to issue it.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is revising its statement of organization and generalinformation to reflect the creation of the Office.of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) and the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OClO), the reorganization of the' Office of-Administration (ADM), and other minor changes.. These amendments are necessary to. inform the public of administrative changes within the NRC.

EFFECTIVE DATE: (Insert date of publication).

FOR FURTHE1. INFORMATION CONTACT: David L. Meyer, Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Reguiatory Commission,' Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone (301) 415-7162, e-mail: dim 1@nrc. gov.

oL J SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On January 5,1997, the Commission announced the creation of the OCFO and the OCiO. These offices report directly to the Chairman. These offices were established pursuant to the. Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 and the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, respectively.

l

. The responsibilities and functions of their predecessor organizations that reported to the l Executive Director for Operations (EDO) were transferred to these offices, respectively.

Accordingly, the Office of the Controller and the Office of Information Resources Management were abolished. tre addition, publications, graphics, printing, and Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act functions were transferred from the Office of Administration (ADM) to the l

OClO.

This final rule also notes the name change of the Office of Personnel to the Office of Human Resources and other minor administrative changes. I 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 Reaister. 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 I.

exclusion 10 CFR 51.22 (c) (2). Therefore, neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment has t.een prepared for this final rule.
