UNITED STATES ENRICHMENT CORPORATION

10 CFR Part 1101

Removal of Obsolete Sunshine Act Regulations

AGENCY: United States Enrichment Corporation.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC) is removing from the Code of Federal Regulations obsolete regulations under the Government in the Sunshine Act because the USEC is being privatized and will become a state chartered corporation under the USEC Privatization Act.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 28, 1998.

ADDRESSES: 2 Democracy Center, 6903 Rockledge Drive, Bethesda, Maryland 20817.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Stuckle, (301) 564-3399.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-486, 106 Stat. 2776, 42 U.S.C. 2297 et seq.) and the USEC Privatization Act, (42 U.S.C. 2297h et seq.), the privatization of USEC is to be completed on July 28, 1998 (the ``Privatization Date''). On the Privatization Date, the assets and the obligations of USEC are transferred to a state chartered corporation and the interest of the United States in USEC is transferred to the private sector. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 2297h-3(b), the state chartered corporation that succeeds to the interests of USEC as of the Privatization Date is not an agency, instrumentality or establishment of the United States, as Government corporation or a Government- controlled corporation. Because the statutory basis for the regulations at 10 CFR Part 1101 will be eliminated, we remove those regulations effective as of the privatization. Because the statutory basis for the regulations ceases in its entirety upon the privatization date of USEC, it is for good cause shown that this final rule be published without notice and without publication of a proposed rule.

PART 1101--REMOVED

For the reasons set forth in the premable and under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 2297 et seq., title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations is amended by removing Part 1101.
