## Abstract

This document provides the final text of regulations governing the employee protection (or "whistleblower") provisions of Section 211 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, ("ERA"), implementing the statutory changes enacted into law on August 8, 2005, as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The regulations also finalize changes to the procedures for handling retaliation complaints under Section 211 of the ERA and the six environmental whistleblower statutes that were designed to make them as consistent as possible with the more recently promulgated procedures for handling retaliation complaints under other whistleblower provisions administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
