SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The purpose of this notice is to inform all licensees that NRC Form 3, ``Notice to Employees,'' has been revised. 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. 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 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 licensee 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 (i.e. Web site 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 August 2017, to make a correction to the map of the NRC Regions and clarify operation of the Headquarters Operations Center. To view the current version of NRC Form 3 (8/2017), please go to https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc- [[Page 46311]] collections/forms/nrc3.pdf. A Spanish language version of the form (NRC Form 3A) can also be found at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/forms/nrc3a.pdf . Additional copies of NRC Form 3 may be obtained by writing to the Regional Administrator of the appropriate U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regional Office, or via email to [email protected]. A list of current NRC Headquarters and Regional offices is available on NRC's public Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/locations.html.
