TBD Closure Documentation:
Completed:_
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE ASSESSMENT: The risk significance of this concern appears low to moderate as it is unclear whether the individual was engaged in a protected activity and whether the alleged discrimination actually constituted a clear violation of CFR 50.7 (i.e., his position or compensation were not impacted by the temporary suspension of his badge, but the action alone could be considered adverse).
PRIORITY OF 01 INVESTIGATION:
Medium
( f,,)
If potential discrimination or wrongdoing and 01 is not opening a case, provide rationale here (e.g., no prima facie, lack of specific indication of wrongdoing):
Request that 01 interview the alleger to obtain additional information to determine whether it is prudent to continue with an investigation in this case.
MRP/
ARB MINUTES ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED AT THE ARB
2 Rationale used to defer 0l discrimination case (DOL case in progress):
No indication that the individual has filed with DOL at this time.
ENFORCEMENT STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS CONSIDERATION (only anplies to wrongdoing matters (including discrimination issues) that are under investigation by 01, DOL. or DOJ):
What is the potential violation and regulatory requirement?
When did the potential violation occur?_
(Assign action to determine date, if unknown)
Once date of potential violation is established, SAC will assign AMS action to have another ARB at four (4) years from that date, to discuss enforcement statute of limitations issues.
NOTES: (Include other pertinent comments. Also include considerations related to licensee referral, if appropriate. Identify any potential generic issues)
