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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Paragraph 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 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 September 2024, to make a
correction to Region III's mailing address. To view the current version
of NRC Form 3 (09/2024), 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: April 4, 2025.

Director, Office of Enforcement.
