3150-AJ15 202304 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 3150 Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRC Drug and Alcohol Testing: Technical Issues and Editorial Changes [NRC-2012-0079]

This rulemaking would amend the NRC's regulations to revise the drug and alcohol testing requirements for fitness-for-duty programs. The purpose of the rule is to revise the fitness-for-duty regulatory framework to include advancements in testing technology, such as changes to the specimens that can be tested for drugs. This rulemaking is intended to provide a program that is more proactive in its approach to ensure that persons who have unescorted access to NRC-licensed facilities are fit for duty. The rulemaking addresses three petitions for rulemaking (PRM-26-4, PRM-26-7, PRM-26-8).
