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 <a href="https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/forms/index.html">https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/forms/index.html</a>. A Spanish language version of the form (NRC Form 3A)
can also be found on the same site.
Dated: January 10, 2023.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Office of Enforcement.
