Electronic Maintenance and Submission of Information; Correction

AGENCY:

Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION:

Correcting amendment.

SUMMARY:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission published a final rule in the Federal Register on October 10, 2003 (68 FR 58791), amending the NRC's regulations to clarify when and how licensees and other members of the public may use electronic means such as CD-ROM and e-mail to communicate with the agency. That final rule inadvertently changed the addressee for the submission of requests for action under 10 CFR 2.206. This action corrects the final regulations by inserting the correct addressee.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

July 12, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

John A. Skoczlas, (301) 415-7186, EIE@nrc.gov; or Brenda J. Shelton, (301) 415-7233, INFOCOLLECTS@nrc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The final regulation erroneously changed the addressee for the submission of requests under 10 CFR 2.206 from the Executive Director for Operations to the Secretary of the Commission. The NRC did not intend to change its long-standing practice of requiring that requests filed under § 2.206 be addressed to the Executive Director for Operations. This document corrects that error.
