Access Authorization Fees; Correction

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting the preamble, or statement of considerations (SOC), and codified text in a direct final rule that was published in the Federal Register on May 3, 2012 (77 FR 26149) and confirmed on June 22, 2012 (77 FR 37553). The direct final rule amended the NRC's access authorization fees charged to licensees for work performed under the Material Access Authorization Program (MAAP) and the Information Access Authority Program (IAAP). This document is necessary to correct an email address, a codification error, a misspelled abbreviation, and the authority citations.

DATES: The correction is effective on August 3, 2012 and applicable to June 22, 2012, the date the original rule became effective.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cindy Bladey, Chief, Rules, Announcements, and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; telephone: 301-492-3667; email: Cindy.Bladey@nrc.gov.

The direct final rule amended the NRC's access authorization fees charged to licensees for work performed under the MAAP and the IAAP.
