RIN 3150-AF45


Employee Protection Policies; Minor Amendments

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its

policies. This action is necessary to require the use of an updated NRC 
Form 3, update a telephone number, and to clarify the applicability of 
employment discrimination policies.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The final rule is effective April 22, 1996, unless 
significant adverse comments are received by March 25, 1996. If the 
effective date is delayed, timely notice will be published in the 
Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to: Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: Docketing and Service 
Branch. Hand deliver comments to 11555 Rockville Pike, Maryland, 
between 7:45 am and 4:15 pm on Federal workdays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The purpose of these amendments to 10 CFR Part 19, and related 
sections, is to promulgate a change to incorporate a reference to the 
most recent revision of NRC Form 3, update a telephone number, and 
clarify the applicability of employment discrimination policies to 10 
CFR Parts 61 and 76.
    NRC regulations in Sec. 19.11, ``Posting of notices to workers,'' 
specify the June 1993 revision of NRC Form 3, ``Notice to Employees,'' 
and an old NRC telephone number for obtaining NRC Form 3. A new version 
of the form was issued in January 1996, and because licensees and 
applicants are required to prominently post the most current version of 
NRC Form 3, Sec. 19.11 is being updated. Related sections in Parts 30, 
40, 50, 60, 61, 70, and 72 also have the old NRC telephone number and 
are being updated.
    The primary differences between the old and new NRC Form 3 are 
related to reporting violations and safety concerns, the addition of an 
NRC Safety Hotline and other NRC toll-free numbers, what constitutes 
discrimination, the realignment of NRC Regions, and the actions NRC 
will take for allegations of harassment, intimidation, or 
discrimination.
    NRC regulations in Sec. 19.20, ``Employee protection,'' were 
adopted in July 1982. Part 61, ``Licensing Requirements for Land 
Disposal of Radioactive Waste,'' was adopted in 1982 (47 FR 57446; 
December 27, 1982); and Part 76, ``Certification of Gaseous Diffusion 
Plants,'' was adopted in 1994 (59 FR 48944; September 23, 1994). Both 
Parts 61 and 76 adopted the July 1982 employee protection provisions 
incorporated into Parts 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 72. Section 19.20 is 
being updated to refer to Parts 61 and 76 for consistency and 
clarification of employee protection policies.

Electronic Access

    Comments may be submitted electronically, in either ASCII text or 
Wordperfect format (version 5.1 or later), by calling the NRC 
Electronic Bulletin Board on FedWorld. The bulletin board may be 
accessed using a personal computer, a modem, and one of the commonly 
available communications software packages, or directly via Internet.
    If using a personal computer and modem, the NRC subsystem on 
FedWorld can be accessed directly by dialing the toll free number: 1-
800-303-9672. Communication software parameters should be set as 
follows: parity to none, data bits to 8, and stop bits to 1 (N,8,1). 
Using ANSI or VT-100 terminal emulation, the NRC NUREGs and RegGuides 
for Comment subsystem can then be accessed by selecting the ``Rules 
Menu'' option from the ``NRC Main Menu.'' For further information about 
options available for NRC at FedWorld, consult the ``Help/Information 
Center'' from the ``NRC Main Menu.'' Users will find the ``FedWorld 
Online User's Guides'' particularly helpful. Many NRC subsystems and 
databases also have a ``Help/Information Center'' option that is 
tailored to the particular subsystem.
    The NRC subsystem on FedWorld can also be accessed by a direct dial 
phone number for the main FedWorld BBS, 703-321-3339, or by using 
Telnet via Internet, fedworld.gov. If using 703-321-3339 to contact 
FedWorld, the NRC subsystem will be accessed from the main FedWorld 
menu by selecting the ``Regulatory, Government Administration and State 
Systems,'' then selecting ``Regulatory Information Mall.'' At that 
point, a menu will be displayed that has an option ``U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission'' that will take you to the NRC Online main menu. 
The NRC Online area also can be accessed directly by typing ``/go nrc'' 
at a FedWorld command line. If you access NRC from FedWorld's main 
menu, you may return to FedWorld by selecting the ``Return to 
FedWorld'' option from the NRC Online Main Menu. However, if you access 
NRC at FedWorld by using NRC's toll-free number, you will have full 
access to all NRC systems but you will not have access to the main 
FedWorld system.
    If you contact FedWorld using Telnet, you will see the NRC area and 
menus, including the Rules menu. Although you will be able to download 
documents and leave messages, you will not be able to write comments or 
upload files (comments). If you contact FedWorld using FTP, all files 
can be accessed and downloaded but uploads are not allowed; all you 
will see is a list of files without descriptions (normal Gopher look). 
An index file listing all files within a subdirectory, with 
descriptions, is included. There is a 15-minute time limit for FTP 
access.
    Although FedWorld can be accessed through the World Wide Web, like 
FTP that mode only provides access for downloading files and does not 
display the NRC Rules menu.
    For more information on NRC bulletin boards call Mr. Arthur Davis, 
Systems Integration and Development Branch, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555, telephone (301) 415-5780; e-mail 
AXD[email protected].

Procedural Background

    Because NRC considers this action noncontroversial and routine, we 
are approving it without seeking public comments on proposed 
amendments. This action will become effective on April 22, 1996. 
However, if the NRC receives significant adverse comments by March 25, 
1996, then the NRC will publish a document that withdraws this action, 
and will address the comments received in response to the requested 
revisions which have been proposed for approval and are being 
concurrently published in the proposed rules section of this Federal 
Register. Comments will be addressed in the final rule on this 
proposal. The NRC will not initiate a second comment period on this 
action.

Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion

    The Commission has determined that this final rule is the type of 
action described in categorical exclusions 10 CFR 51.22(c)(1). 
Therefore, neither an environmental impact statement nor an 
environmental assessment has been prepared for this final rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    This final rule does not contain a new or amended information 
collection requirement subject to the Paper Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing requirements were approved by the Office 
of Management and Budget, approval 3150-0044, 10 CFR Part 19; 3150-
0017, 10 CFR Part 30; 3150-0020, 10 CFR Part 40; 3150-0011, 10 CFR Part 
50; 3150-0127, 10 CFR Part 60; 3150-0135, 10 CFR Part 61; 3150-0009, 10 
CFR Part 70; and 3150-0132, 10 CFR Part 72.

Public Protection Notification

    The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.

Regulatory Analysis

    A regulatory analysis has not been prepared for this Direct Final 
Rule because this rule is considered minor and not a substantial 
amendment; it has no economic impact on NRC licensees or the public.

Regulatory Flexibility Certification

    As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 
605(b), the Commission certifies that this rule does not have a 
significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small 
entities.
    Any small entity subject to this regulation which determines that, 

[[Page 6764]]
    because of its size, it is likely to bear a disproportionate adverse 
economic impact should notify the Commission of this in a comment that 
indicates the following:
    (a) The licensee's size and how the regulation would result in a 
significant economic burden upon the licensee as compared to the 
economic burden on a larger licensee.
    (b) How the regulations could be modified to take into account the 
licensee's differing needs or capabilities.
    (c) The benefits that would accrue, or the detriments that would be 
avoided, if the regulations were modified as suggested by the licensee.
    (d) How the regulation, as modified, would more closely equalize 
the impact of regulations or create more equal access to the benefits 
of Federal programs as opposed to providing special advantages to any 
individual or group.
    (e) How the regulation, as modified, would still adequately protect 
public health and safety.

Backfit Analysis

    The NRC has determined that the backfit rule, 10 CFR 50.109, does 
not apply to this rule, and therefore, a backfit analysis is not 
required because these amendments do not involve any provisions that 
would impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR 50.109(a)(1).
