SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC published a direct final rule in the 
Federal Register on March 24, 2017 (82 FR 14991), which added the TN

Rulemaking Procedure

    Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency 
may waive the normal notice and comment requirements if it finds, for 
good cause, that they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to 
the public interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the NRC 
finds good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on the 
amendment because it will have no substantive impact and is of a minor 
and administrative nature dealing with a correction to a CFR section 
related only to management, organization, procedure, and practice. 
Specifically, this amendment is to correct an editorial error. This 
amendment does not require action by any person or entity regulated by 
the NRC. Also, this final rule does not change the substantive 
responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by the NRC. 
Accordingly, for the reasons stated, the NRC finds, pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good cause exists to make this rule effective 
upon publication.
