## Summary

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission fixed a small mistake in a recent rule about adding expiration dates to some regulations, part of a plan to keep rules fresh and support American energy. This correction updates the number of public comments received and confirms the rule starts on February 3, 2026. If you work with or follow NRC rules, this keeps things clear and on track without changing costs or deadlines.

## Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting a document published in the Federal Register on January 8, 2026, regarding the confirmation of effective date for the direct final rule published in the Federal Register on December 3, 2025, amending the NRC's regulations to insert a conditional sunset date into certain regulations in response to Executive Order 14270, "Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy." This action is necessary to correct the number of comments docketed on the companion proposed rule.
