NRC RIN: 3150-AI67 Publication ID: Fall 2016 
Title: Fitness-for-Duty (Health and Human Services (HHS) Requirements) [NRC-2009-0225] 
Abstract:

This rule would more closely align 10 CFR part 26 drug testing requirements with the updates made in 2008 to the guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  This rulemaking would strengthen the fitness-for-duty programs at nuclear power plants (and other Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensees and applicants) by enhancing the ability of licensees and other entities to identify additional individuals using illegal drugs, misusing legal drugs, or attempting to subvert the drug testing process.  The proposed rule would also provide additional protections to individuals subject to drug testing, and would improve clarity, organization, and flexibility of the NRC's regulations.
