NRC letter from A.
B. Beach to William J. Cahill. Jr.
dated August 17 1992 2)
TU Electric letter logged TXX-92436 from j
William J. Cahill, Jr. to NRC dated September 16 1992 3)
NRC letter from L. J. Callan to William J. Cahill. Jr.
dated April 28, 1993 Gertlemen:
In the letter to TV Electric transmitting NRC Inspection Report Nos.
50-445/92-30; 50-446/92-30 (Reference 1), the NRC discussed an inspector
'
identified weakness in the implementation of the CPSES Fitness-for-Duty Program.
The weakness involved the potential for early notification of some
!
CPSES employees selected for random drug testing while working backshifts.
TU Electric responded to the NRC regarding this weakness in its letter of September 16. 1992 (Reference 2).
Subsequently, NRC Region IV requested additional, more specific information concerning TU Electric's corrective actions for this weakness (Reference 3).
In response to the NRC request. changes made to CPSES procedures to ensure notification confidentiality are documented in CPSES Procedure Change Notice PCN-STA-910-R2-2.
This PCN added specific notification instructions to Station Administrative Procedure STA-910 (Rev. 2), " Fitness-For-Duty Program" Procedure STA-910, section 6.8.4 " Selection and Notification of Testing Dates and Personnel *. was revised to provide additional instructions for supervisors to ensure notification confidentiality.
The subject PCN was approved August 27, 1992 and became effective September 9, 1992.

In addition to the PCN to procedure STA-910. the Department Manager of the i
personnel involved in the observed. weakness instructed his supervisors on the correct method for notifying individuals of random testing without f
jeopardizing the " unannounced" aspect of testing.
Other departments which
!
may require notification of personnel under similiar circumstances (i.e..
j personnel working backshifts) were evaluated with respect to the observed
notification weaknesses; no other instances of the weakness were found in
other departments.
Finally the proper method for notifying individuals of
.{
random drug / alcohol testing was emphasized in Fitness-For-Duty Supervisor l
Training.

Should you have any further questions with respect to this matter, please
