What the agency says
The United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE) publishes a proposed rule to amend its regulations, which set forth the policies and procedures for resolving questions concerning protections for DOE contractor employees alleging retaliation by their employers. The proposed revisions would clarify deadlines and tolling practices throughout the regulation; make grammatical changes throughout the rule for consistency with national policies and DOE practices; and update references to DOE officials and offices in order to ensure clarity, consistency, and fairness in DOE's administration of the Contractor Employe Protection Program.
