SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
On February 10, 2022, DOE updated its organizational structure and
changed certain titles and reporting duties within DOE's Office of
Environment, Health, Safety and Security (EHSS). Certain of the EHSS's
functions are subject to regulations in title 10 of the CFR. As a
result of the changes, title 10 of the CFR contained references to DOE
organizational names and positions that are no longer current. On June
26, 2023, DOE issued a final rule that made amendments to 10 CFR parts
602, 710, 712, 725, 835, 850, 851, 1016, 1017, 1045, and 1046 to
reflect the new titles and organizational names. 88 FR 41289.
II. Need for Correction
One of the changes DOE made in its June 26, 2023, amendments was to
change the title of the ``Associate Under Secretary for Environment,
Health, Safety and Security'' (also referred to as the ``Associate
Under Secretary of Environment, Health, Safety and Security'' in 10 CFR
part 1045) to the ``Director, Office of Environment, Health, Safety and
Security'' in 10 CFR parts 602, 710, 712, 835, 850, 851, 1016, 1045,
and 1046. However, the rulemaking inadvertently contained inaccurate
amendatory instructions at 10 CFR 1045.80, 1045.180, 1045.210,
1045.215, and 1045.220 such that all the revisions in 10 CFR part 1045
could not be made.
The purpose of this final rule technical correction is to correct
references to the ``Associate Under Secretary of Environment, Health,
Safety and Security'' and the ``Associate Under Secretary for
Environment, Health, Safety and Security'' and instead reference the
``Director, Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security'' in 10
CFR part 1045.

III. Procedural Issues and Regulatory Review
DOE has concluded that the determinations made pursuant to the
various procedural requirements applicable to the June 26, 2023, final
rule remain unchanged for this final rule technical correction. These
determinations are set forth in the June 26, 2023, final rule. 88 FR
41289.
Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b), DOE
finds that there is good cause to not issue a separate notice to
solicit public comment on the changes contained in this document.
Neither the errors nor the corrections in this document affect the
substance of the June 26, 2023, final rule or any of the conclusions
reached in support of the final rule. For these reasons, this rule is
not subject to the 30-day delay in effective date requirement of 5
U.S.C. 553(d) otherwise applicable to rules that make substantive
changes.
IV. Approval by the Office of the Secretary of Energy
The Secretary of Energy has approved publication of this final
rule.
List of Subjects in 10 CFR Part 1045
