Section 26.23(a) states, in part, that contractor personnel performing activities within the scope of this part for a licensee must be subject to the licensee’s program relating to fitness-for-duty. The Duke Energy Nuclear Policy Manual, NSD 217.8, Revision 14, states, in relevant part, that illegal drugs are prohibited by company or departmental policy from actual or attempted introduction into the site Protected Area. The Duke Energy Nuclear Policy Manual, NSD 218.10.1, Revision 9, states in relevant part, that where unusual behavior, lack of trustworthiness and reliability, or evidence that an individual is not fit for duty is observed, it shall be reported to the manager of Access Services.

In addition, a second contract employee became aware of the potential use of marijuana inside of the Protected Area but failed to immediately report the event as required by McGuire Nuclear Station’s continuing behavior observation program. This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement III). The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence and the date when full compliance will be achieved is already adequately addressed on the docket in the enclosed Confirmatory Order. Therefore, you are not required to respond to this letter unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position. However, you are required to VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:04 Jun 10, 2010 Jkt 220001 submit a written statement or explanation pursuant to 10 CFR 2.201 if the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction As set forth below in an Order issued on June 4, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved a request submitted by its licensee, Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Operations Group, Inc. (B&W NOG), pertaining to a proposed corporate restructuring involving several companies related to B&W NOG. The NRC treated the request as one seeking approval of an indirect license transfer. B&W NOG is a major fuel cycle facility located in Lynchburg, Virginia, which is licensed to possess and use special nuclear material (SNM) under 10 CFR Part 70; and the NRC is thus providing this notice in accordance with 10 CFR 2.1301(b). Pursuant to 10 CFR 70.36, no license, or any right thereunder, shall be transferred, assigned, or in any manner disposed of—either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly— through the transfer of control of the license, to any person, unless the Commission, after securing full information, finds that the transfer is in accordance with the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and gives its consent in writing. II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing The NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding regarding the issuance of the Order set forth below. In addition to authorizing the indirect transfer of control over License No. SNM–42 held by B&W NOG, the Order authorizes the indirect transfer of control over NRC License SNM–124 held by Nuclear Fuel Services for its operations at Erwin, Tennessee; and authorizes the indirect transfer of control over NRC License SNM–2001 held by BWX Technologies, which pertains to the remediation of the former Shallow Land Disposal Area near Parks Township, Pennsylvania. In accordance with the general requirements in Subpart C of 10 CFR Part 2, as amended on January 14, 2004 (69 FR 2182), any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding and who desires to participate as a party must file a written request for a hearing and a specification E:\FR\FM\11JNN1.SGM 11JNN1
