Title: Procedures for Handling Discrimination Complaints Under Federal "Whistleblower" Protection Statutes | |
Abstract: The Energy Policy Act of 1992, Public Law 102-486, was enacted on October 24, 1992. Among other provisions, this law amended the employee protection provisions for nuclear whistleblowers under former section 210 of the ERA. The amendments affect only ERA whistleblower complaints and do not extend to the procedures established in 29 CFR part 24 for handling employee whistleblower complaints under the Federal statutory employee protection provisions other than the ERA. The legislative amendments to ERA apply to whistleblower claims filed under section 211(b)(1) of the ERA as amended (42 USC section 5851(b)(1)) on or after October 24, 1992, the date of enactment of section 2902 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (section 2902, Public Law 102-486; 106 Stat. 2776). The Department proposes to establish modified procedures and time frames for handling ERA complaints under 29 CFR part 24 to implement the statutory amendments. (Note: Effective 02/03/97, enforcement authority for these provisions was transferred to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration under Secretary's Order 6-96, 62 FR 111 (01/02/97).) | |
