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).
