Contractors and Subcontractors Who 

Discriminate Against Employees for 

Engaging in Protected Activities 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Policy Statement: Revision. 

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

engaging in protected activities. 

DATES: Effective date: This action is 

effective February 6, 2008. Comment

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Doug Starkey, Office of Enforcement,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission amended 10 CFR 30.7, 

40.7, 50.7, 52.5, 60.9, 61.9, 63.9, 70.7, 

71.9, 72.10 and 76.7 to clarify the 

Commission’s authority to impose civil 

penalties on contractors and 

subcontractors for violations of 

Commission employee protection 

requirements. The changes to the 

Enforcement Policy hereunder 

incorporate the recent clarifying 

revisions set forth in the referenced 

employee protection regulations. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This final change to the NRC 

Enforcement Policy does not contain 

new or amended information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, 

et seq.). 

Public Protection Notification 

If a means used to impose an 

information collection does not display 

a currently valid OMB control number, 

the NRC may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, the information collection. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act 

In accordance with the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, the NRC has 

determined that this action is not a 

‘‘major’’ rule and has verified this 

determination with the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget. 

Accordingly, the NRC Enforcement 

Policy is amended to read as follows: 

General Statement of Policy and 

Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions 

* * * * * 

I. Introduction and Purpose 

* * * * * 

Footnote 1 

This policy primarily addresses the 

activities of NRC licensees and 

applicants for NRC licenses. However, 

this policy provides for taking 

enforcement action against nonlicensees and individuals in certain 

cases. These non-licensees include 

contractors and subcontractors, holders 

of, or applicants for, NRC approvals, 

e.g., certificates of compliance, early site 

permits, or standard design certificates, 

and the employees of these nonlicensees. Specific guidance regarding 

enforcement action against individuals 

and non-licensees is addressed in 

Sections VII, VIII and X. 

* * * * * 

VI. Enforcement Actions 

* * * * * 

C. Civil Penalty 

A civil penalty is a monetary penalty 

that may be imposed for violation of (1) 

certain specified licensing provisions of 

the Atomic Energy Act or 

supplementary NRC rules or orders; (2) 

any requirement for which a license 

may be revoked; or (3) reporting 

requirements under section 206 of the 

Energy Reorganization Act. Civil 

penalties are designed to deter future 

violations both by the involved licensee, 

contractor, subcontractor or other 

person and other licensees, contractors, 

subcontractors or other persons, 

conducting similar activities. Civil 

penalties also emphasize the need for 

licensees, contractors, subcontractors 

and other persons to identify violations 

and take prompt comprehensive 

corrective action. 

* * * * * 

VII. Exercise of Discretion 

* * * * * 

B. Mitigation of Enforcement Sanctions 

* * * * * 

5. Violations Involving Certain 

Discrimination Issues 

Enforcement discretion may be 

exercised for discrimination cases when 

a licensee (including a contractor or 

subcontractor) who, without the need 

for government intervention, identifies 

an issue of discrimination and takes 

prompt, comprehensive, and effective 

corrective action to address both the 

particular situation and the overall work 

environment for raising safety concerns. 

Similarly, enforcement may not be 

warranted where a complaint is filed 

with the Department of Labor (DOL) 

under Section 211 of the Energy 

Reorganization Act of 1974, as 

amended, but the licensee settles the 

matter before the DOL makes an initial 

finding of discrimination and addresses 

the overall work environment. 

Alternatively, if a finding of 

discrimination is made, the licensee 

may choose to settle the case before the 

evidentiary hearing begins. In such
