SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Background
The purpose of this amendment to 10 CFR Part 19 is to prviulgate a ,
change to incorporate a reference to the latest NRC Form 3. NRC regulations in 619.11,
- Posting of notices to workers." specify that licensees post the January 1996 revision of NRC Form 3. " Notice to Employees." A new version of the form was issued in August 1997 to inform industry workers that the responsibility for investigating discrimination complaints within the Department of Labor has been transferred from the Wage and Hour Division to ,
the Occupational Health and Safety Administration. Additionally. NRC Form 3 has been revised to indicate that the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant located in Xentucky is under the purview of Region 111 and to show a new NRC address
,or i c on II. Because licensees and applicants are required to prominently pest the ;urrent version of NRC Form 3. I 19.111s being updated to specify the use of the August 1997 version of NRC form 3. To eliminate the need to revise the CFR whenever NRC Form 3 is changed. I 19.11 is also being revised to specify the use of later versions of NRC Form 3 that supersede the August 1997 version within 30 days of receiving the revised NRC Form 3 from the Commission. The NRC will inform licensees of future changes to NRC Form 3 by an administrative letter and, in addition, the availability of any new versions will be noticed in the Federal Register.
Because this is an amendment dealing with agency organization, practice.
an't procedure, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). The amendment is effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Good cause exists to 2

under " Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement ,
States." approved by the Commission on June 30,1997. I 19.11 is listed as ;

addressed may be different than that used by the NRC. l j
