j 278/87-06 concerning the PECo Fitness for Duty Program.

This letter is to update the NRC on the status of several commitments made in that i

j letter.

The referenced letter stated that a station administrative procedure would be implemented by December 1987 at each nuclear l

station specifying actions to be taken by supervision in response to j

j drug and alcohol related incidents.

To ensure a quality procedure,'a lengthy interdepartmental review process has been necessary and the i

preparation of this procedure has taken more time than anticipated.

t The procedure is now 2xpected to be approved by the Plant Operations i

i Review Committees in March 1988.

i contractors and vendors that their employees must abide by PECo's Drugs and Alcoholic Beverages Policies, and the Nuclear Plant Rules.

PECo now distributes the Nuclear Plant Rules and a booklet which includes PECo's Drugs and Alcoholic Beverages Policies to all contractor personnel during General Employee Training.
