Title: Fitness for Duty | |
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's fitness-for-duty regulations. This proposed rule would also address the petition for rulemaking submitted by Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) (PRM-26-1), and address the Regulatory Review Group items on audit frequency and annual submittal of data. VEPCO requested that the Commission amend its fitness-for-duty regulations to change the frequency that licensees are required to audit their fitness-for-duty programs from annually to biennially. The Commission and the EDO approved the staff proposals in SECY-92-308, but asked that the staff resubmit the proposed rule to address a backfit analysis. The staff proposals were submitted to the Commission in SECY-95-262 in October 1995, and were published in the Federal Register on May 9, 1996 (61 FR 21105). The public comment period closed on August 7, 1996. Approximately 1000 comments were received from public meetings and from 37 individuals. The staff met with the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) in July 1997 to discuss the revised rule. The staff is preparing an analysis of the application of the backfit rule to each proposed change to facilitate Commission understanding of the issues. The staff also plans to meet with the ACRS to review generic requirements before submitting the rulemaking package to the EDO in October 1998. | |
