The truck attempting to enter the PA was stopped and the individuals requesting escorted access were refused. The individuals in possession of the alcohol and drugs, which violated the established contractual agreement, were denied access. The rest of the individuals requested a voluntary drug and alcohol test.

C.
NRC Reportable Events (Per IOCFR Part 26.73}
There were no reportable events during this performance data period.
D.
Appeals (Per 10CFR26.28)
Two individuals appealed their confirmed positive test determinations. Neither of the appeals provided any additional evidence that was not evaluated at the time of the confirmed positive; therefore the Appeals Officer decision maintained consistency with the Medical Review Officer's determination.

SECTION III.
FFD Program Modifications and Lessons Learned Nine Mile Point's FED departmental procedures were modified to define and address alcohol misuse. Contractors reporting for scheduled work resulting in the presence of alcohol at.02-.039%BAC shall result in a 30-day suspension of unescorted access. During this reporting period, three individuals were determined to be in violation of this expectation and access was suspended for the 30-day period.
As a result of the NRC's Access Authorization Compensatory Measures, FFD procedures were modified to address sharing FFD violations with the industry and communicating to the industry everyone determined to be in a follow-up testing program. Both of these issues were addressed with the utilization of Personnel Access Data System, an industry-wide shared data system.
SECTION IV.
Data Assessment and Program Evaluation NMPNS's FED/Personnel Reliability Program Performance Indicators for this performance data period indicated zero reportable failures. This statistical report shows that the NMPNS employee overall positive test rate for this reporting period was 0.24%. The overall rate for contractors was 1.33%. The combined positive test rate for contractors and NMPNS employees is approximately 1.03%
for this time period (and 0.72% since the inception of this program).
