Docket Nos. 50-272

50-354

Mr. Steven E. Miltenberger

Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer

Public Service Electric and Gas Company

P. 0. Box 236

Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey 08038

Dear Mr. Miltenberger:

MAY 0 7 1993

Subject:

Combined Inspection Nos. 50-272/93-11, 50-311/93-11 and 50-354/93-07

This letter refers to the Fitness-for-Duty (FFD) Program inspection conducted by

Mr. R. J. Albert of this office on April 5-7, 1993, of activities authorized by NRC License Nos.

DPR-70, DPR-75 and NPF-57 and to the discussions of our findings held with Ms. M. Butz and

other members of your staff by Mr. Albert at the conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined during this inspection are important to public health and safety and are

described in the NRC Region I inspection report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these

areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative

records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

Overall, we found that your FFD program was directed toward public health and safety.

Continued good management support of the program was evident. However, we are concerned

that a commitment made in your January 29, 1991, letter, in response to our concerns about

personnel with infrequent unescorted station access, could not be met for various reasons, but

you did not notify us or request relief from the commitment.

Your failure to meet that

obligation is a deviation from a written commitment. In addition, your failure to take effective

corrective measures for a recurring programmatic problem in FFD training for supervisors with

responsibilities for implementing certain aspects of the FFD program is a violation of regulatory

requirements.

As set forth in the Notice of Deviation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A, and the Notice of

Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix B, you are requested to respond to Appendix A and

required to respond to Appendix B.

In preparing your responses, you should follow the

instructions in the Appendices.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosures will be placed in

the NRC Public Document Room.
