What is the significance of the NRC regions map on NRC Form 3?

• A. It shows the office phone numbers for contacting the NRC based on your region
• B. It outlines the plant's environmental monitoring plan
• C. It lists emergency response team members
• D. It provides a calendar of inspections

Answer: (A)

Understanding which NRC regional office oversees a plant is essential for directing official questions and regulatory communications. The NRC regions map on Form 3 provides the region boundaries and the corresponding office contact numbers, so personnel know exactly who to call for region-specific licensing questions, reporting, or regulatory guidance. It is not about environmental monitoring plans, emergency response team rosters, or inspection calendars, which are covered by other documents and processes. The map therefore serves as a quick, authoritative reference to route inquiries to the correct regional office and ensure timely, accurate contact during regulatory matters.
