Title: Fitness for Duty Programs 
Abstract: The final rule will amend the Commission's regulations to ensure compatibility with the Department of Health and Human Services guidelines, reduce unnecessary regulatory burden in some areas, clarify the Commission's original intent of the rule, and improve overall program effectiveness and efficiency. These revised requirements will reduce the industrywide annual cost for all licensees to comply with part 26 by approximately $15 million. The rulemaking will address the Regulatory Review Group items on audit frequency and annual submittal of data. The rulemaking will also address the petition for rulemaking submitted by the Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) (PRM-26-1).
