Subject:	Newly Revised U.S. NRC Form 3 (FOR POSTING)
To all Radiation Safety Officers and NRMP Permittees: 
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has just released a revised NRC Form 3, "Notice to Employees".  You are required to replace "all" previous versions of NRC Form 3 posted within your command, with the new form (see attached PDF document). 
Note that it is a Federal requirement that this form be posted in areas in which radioactive materials and/or waste are being received, used and/or stored.  This includes Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Therapy Departments, hospital wards in which patients are non-releasable under 10 CFR 35.75, Irradiators, as well as Research facilities and any other facility in which radioactive materials are possessed. 
The 10 CFR Part 19 requirements for posting of "notices to workers" has been pasted below for easy reference.  Please ensure that your command is in compliance with the requirements. 
Very Respectfully, 
LCDR Pomije
