SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: LICENSED OPERATOR POSITIVE FITNESS-FOR-DUTY TEST

Dear Mr. Rosenblum:

On March 2, 2007, you reported in Event Report 43207 that one of your NRC-licensed operators tested positive for alcohol following a fitness-for-duty test. On March 16, 2007, you withdrew Event Report 43207. Nevertheless, this letter is a request for information pertaining to this occurrence. Within 30 days from the date of this letter, please provide answers to the questions listed in Enclosure 1 to this letter and include all records and information on this operator's past fitness-or-duty which are relevant to this occurrence. Any other information that you think is pertinent or useful regarding this occurrence would also be appreciated. We request that any personal, proprietary, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. The affidavit required by 10 CFR 2.790(b) must accompany your response, where applicable.

In a letter from you dated April 12, 2007, you informed the Regional Administrator in the NRC's Region IV office that the individual in question had been moved to a position that does not require a NRC license, therefore in accordance with 10 CFR 55.55(a), the license for this individual is considered to have expired. We have notified the individual of the license expiration.

The NRC will evaluate the information in your reply to this letter to determine if further action is warranted pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 50 or 55. The information supplied will be maintained in NRC Privacy System of Records-16 and will be subject to the Privacy Act.

Southern California Edison Company If you have any questions, please contact me at (817) 860-8159. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Anthony T. Gody, Chief Operations Branch Division of Reactor Safety Dockets: 50-361; 50-362 Licenses: NPF-10; NPF-15
