SUBJECT:

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF 00L REPORTS The purpose of this memorandum is to emphasize the importance of preventino the unauthorized disclosure of Department of Labor (DOL) materials reaardina section 210 of the Eneroy Reorganization Act employee discrimination cases.

Throuah the principles of cooperation set out in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between NRC and D01 and the workina arrangements implementing the MOU, D0L allows NRC officials to photocopy all section 210 gmployee discrimination case file material. This arrangement was made with the clear understanding

( that the case file material would not be reproduced or disclosed outside NRC without prior DOL approval. Strict observance of this condition is important if the NRC is to continue to have access to DOL investigative materials.

Issued decisions of the Secretary of Labor, DOL Administrative Law Judoes, and DOL Wace Hour Area Directors and records of open D0L hearinas are publicly available accuments. As such, these DOL documents are not subject to the non-disclosure condition. As a practical matter, the principal DOL documents subject to the non-disclosure condition are the DOL Compliance Officer's repcrts and case files.

To protect NRC access to DOL case files, enforcement coordinators, as the NPC points of contact with DOL, should:

1. Obtain a clear determination from the appropriate DCL official as to whether a document may be released whenever material is obtained from a DOL office

2. Conspicuously mark DOL material not cuthorized by DOL for release outside NRC as such, while within NRC. At a minimum the material should be marked as containino information obtained from the Department of Labor under a special arrangement with the NRC and that the information may not be reproduced or disclosed outside the

, NRC without prior DOL approval, by usino the enclosed cover sheet.
