[NRC-2022-0225]


Availability of Revised NRC Form 3, ``Notice to Employees''

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Generic communications; issuance.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is announcing the 
availability of the latest version of NRC Form 3, ``Notice to 
Employees.'' The NRC Form 3 describes certain responsibilities and 
rights of employers and employees who engage in NRC-regulated 
activities, including how employees can report violations or other 
safety concerns directly to the NRC. Licensees are required by law to 
post the form at prominent locations at the workplace to permit workers 
to view it easily.

DATES: The revised form is available as of December 20, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 19.11(e)(1) of title 10 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), states that licensees shall 
prominently post the most recent version of NRC Form 3, ``Notice to 
Employees'' within 30 days of receiving the revised NRC Form 3 from the 
Commission. In a 1997 rulemaking, 10 CFR 19.11 (62 FR 48165) was 
amended to incorporate a reference to the latest version of NRC Form 3. 
This eliminated the need to revise the CFR whenever NRC Form 3 is 
changed, which had been the previous practice. The final rule published 
on September 15, 1997 (62 FR 48165) indicated that the NRC would inform 
licensees of future changes to NRC Form 3 by an administrative letter 
and, in addition, the availability of any new versions would be noticed 
in the Federal Register. Administrative letters were a type of generic 
communication issued to inform addressees of specific regulatory or 
administrative information but were discontinued in September 1999. As 
such, in lieu of an administrative letter, this revision and future 
revisions will be publicized through an alternative electronic means 
(e.g., website notice, social networking service, etc.) to alert all 
licensees of the new revisions, as well as in the Federal Register.
    A new version of NRC Form 3 was issued in November 2022, to make a 
correction to Region I's mailing address and add an email address for 
submitting concerns. To view the current version of NRC Form 3 (11-
2022), please go to https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/forms/index.html. A Spanish language version of the form (NRC Form 3A) 
can also be found on the same site.

    Dated: January 10, 2023.

Director, Office of Enforcement.
