AGENCY:

Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule and guidance; extension of comment period and correcting supplement.

SUMMARY:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting a document that was published in the Federal Register on September 12, 2022, regarding changes to maintain a consistent regulatory framework with the U.S. Department of Transportation for the domestic packaging and transportation of radioactive material and to ensure general accord with International Atomic Energy Agency standards. This action is necessary to make corrections in the estimated burden for the information collection and to make other corrections. The public comment period on the amended information collection was originally scheduled to close on November 14, 2022. The NRC has decided to extend the public comment period for the information collection to allow more time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments; the extended comment period for the information collection now aligns with the end of the general period for public comment.

DATES:

The due date of comments on the amended information collection requested in the document published on September 12, 2022 (87 FR 55708) is extended. Comments on the amended information collection should be filed no later than November 28, 2022, at the end of the general comment period. Comments received after this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.

The NRC is announcing the following corrected language to the proposed rule published at 87 FR 55708. On page 87 FR 55721, in the first full paragraph in the first column, “mass limit of 140 g” should read “mass limit of 140 grams”. On page 87 FR 55725, in the first column, the number of respondents and the number of responses for the information collection are provided, “An estimate of the number of annual responses: 7.5. The estimated number of annual respondents: 6.5.” should read “An estimate of the number of annual responses: 100. The estimated number of annual respondents: 99.” On page 87 FR 55725, in the first column, an estimate of the total hourly burden is provided: “An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 1,376.7 hours” should read “An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 1,377 hours”.

Additionally, on page 87 FR 55728, in the table in section XIX, “Document Availability,” the document “Regulatory Analysis for this proposed rule” (ML22209A039) included several errors. The “Regulatory analysis for this proposed rule” (ML22209A039) document has been reposted to the ( printed page 65178) Federal rulemaking website to correct a publication error, restoring pages 48-55 and pages A-1-A-15 and an unnumbered last page.
