Barry Quigley

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is publishing for public comment a notice of receipt of a petition for rulemaking dated September 28, 1999, that was filed with the Commission by Mr. Barry Quigley. The petition was docketed by the NRC on October 7, 1999, and has been assigned Docket No. PRM-26-2. The petitioner requests that the NRC: (1) Add enforceable working hour limits to 10 CFR Part 26; (2) add a criterion to 10 CFR Part 55.33 (a)(1) to require evaluation of known sleeping disorders; (3) revise the Enforcement Policy to include examples of working hour violations warranting various NRC sanctions; and (4) revise NRC Form-396 to include self-disclosure of sleeping disorders by licensed operators. The petitioner also requests changes to NRC Inspection Procedure 81502, Fitness for Duty Program. The petitioner believes that clear and enforceable working hour limits are required to ensure that the impact of personnel fatigue is minimized.
