AGENCY:

Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION:

Direct final rule; correction and delay of effective date.

SUMMARY:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting a direct final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on December 6, 2013, and is delaying the effective date.

This action is necessary to correct the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession numbers for the CoC, the safety evaluation report (SER), and the ADAMS document package containing the CoC, SER, and the Technical Specifications (TSs) for this amendment.

DATES:

The effective date of the direct final rule published December 6, 2013, at 78 FR 73379, is delayed from February 19, 2014, to March 11, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Corrections

The NRC is correcting the ADAMS accession numbers for the CoC, the SER, and the ADAMS document package containing the CoC, SER, and the TSs for this amendment because the documents referenced by accession numbers in the direct final rule the NRC published on December 6, 2013 (78 FR 73379; Fr. Doc. 2013-29162), do not clearly display the proposed changes to the documents.

In Fr. Doc. 2013-29162, on page 73379, in the second column, second full paragraph, in the last sentence, “ML120530246” is corrected to read “ML13351A224.” On page 73380, in the second column, first full sentence, “ML120530246” is corrected to read “ML13351A224.” On page 73380, in the second column, second full sentence, “ML120530271” is corrected to read “ML13351A205.” On page 73380, in the second column, first full paragraph, in the first full sentence, “ML120530329” is corrected to read “ML13351A203.” On page 73381, in the second column, first full paragraph, in the last sentence, “ML120530329” is corrected to read “ML13351A203.”

Delay of Effective Date

The NRC is delaying the effective date of the direct final rule from February 19, 2014, to March 11, 2014. The NRC published a companion proposed rule to this direct final rule on December 6, 2013 (78 FR 73456). In the Proposed Rules section of this issue of the Federal Register, the NRC is publishing a document to correct and extend the public comment period of the proposed rule. Specifically, ADAMS accession numbers for the CoC, and the ADAMS document package containing the CoC, SER, and the TSs for this amendment will be corrected and the public comment period will be extended from January 6, 2014, to January 27, 2014, in order to provide the public the opportunity to review all information related to the rulemaking. As a result of the extended public comment period, the effective date of the direct final rule was delayed.
