10 CFR.26 - Fitness'for Duty Programs
Dear Sir:
The final rule, " Fitness-for-Duty-Programs,"'10CFR26,.was
' issued in the Federal-Register on June 7, 1989 (54FR24468). This rule became effective on July 7,_ 1989 and, in accordance with i 10CFR26.2(c), is required to be implemented no later than January 3, 1990. Furthermore, 10CFR26. 73 (d) requires that each licensee shall certify to-the NRC that it has implemented.a fitness-for-duty- :
program that meets the requirements of 10CFR26, and that the certification shall describe any licensee chemical testing cut-off levels more stringent than those imposed by 10CFR26.
To'the best of my knowledge, we have implemented a fitness for Lduty program that meets the requirements of 10CFR26 with one exception. 10CFR26, Appendix A, Subpart B,'section 2.3 requires in
-part that appropriate background checks shall be completed for a: individuals prior'to assigning them any tasks associated with the administration of the fitness-for-duty program. We have not yet completod'the background check for some of the program administrators, but expect to have these background checks completed by January 5, 1990.

In addition, in order to certify that we have implemented a fitness-for-duty program at~the Philadelphia Electric-Company (PECO) which meets the requirements of 10CFR26, we are performing a confirmatory' review of our program. This confirmatory _ review will be completed by the end of January, 1990. Accordingly, I will certify by January 31, 1990,-that PECO has implemented a
. fitness-for-duty program that meets the requirements of'10CFR26..
With respect to chemical testing cut-off. levels, we have~ included chemical testing 1for barbituates and benzodiazepines,
.c with a cut-off level of 300 ng/ml for_both, in addition to testing
~
for substances at the cut-off11evels specified by 10CFR26.
Very truly yours,
