to Region:III.
On May 17, 1988, the Area Director of the Wage and Hour Division,
'U.S. Department of Labor, concluded an investigation into a complaint of discriminatory employment termination filed on April 5, 1988, by a former employee at the Commonwealth Edison Company's LaSalle County Station. The Area' Director concluded that discrimination as defined and prohibited by the Energy Reorganization Act was a factor in the actions which comprised the complaint.
On June 17, 1988,Jwe requested Commonwealth Edison Company provide the NRC with a response to the Area Director's findings and indicate the basis for the employment action regarding the former employee and actions taken by
' Commonwealth Edison Company to ensure that this employment action does not have a chilling effect in discouraging other licensee or contractor employees from raising perceived safety concerns.
On July 6, 1988, you responded to our request indicating that Commonwealth Edison Cenpany was exercising'its right to a' hearing on the Department of Labor's findings and that a response would be provided within 30 days after the final determination on the matter
-by the U.S. Secretary of Labor. Our Division of Reactor Projects verbally agreed with your proposed approach at that time. As a result of a recent contact with the Department of Labor Administrative Law Judge we understand
'that this matter continues to be under review.
We have reevaluated this matter and have determined that a response as requested in our June 17, 1988, letter is necessary.
Please submit your response within 30 days of the date of this letter. After reviewing your response, the NRC will determine whether enforcement action is necessary at this time to ensure compliance with the employee protection provisions set forth in 10 CFR 50.7.
-In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter v411 be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
