Deletion of Outdated References and Minor Change

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to delete all references to Appendix C, of 10 CFR Part 2. Appendix C ``General Statement of Policy and Procedures for Enforcement Actions,'' was removed from the Code of Federal Regulations because it is a Policy Statement, not a regulation, and the enforcement policy was published as a Policy Statement on June 30, 1995. This direct final rule also provides that the NRC may use discretion when determining whether to require a written explanation or statement in reply to a notice of violation. When the NRC believes that the licensee or other person who receives the notice of violation has already adequately addressed all the issues contained in that notice, at the discretion of the NRC, further written responses may not be required.
