how its audit process would ensure that corrective actions are taken to resolve any problems identified. If an applicant proposes to utilize joint audits, or accept audits of C/Vs conducted by others, the applicant should describe this process and how it would ensure the effectiveness of the C/Vs' services. Subpart K provides general information with regard to how FFD audits should be conducted for construction site programs. Audits may be developed and implemented to review all or portions 13.7.2-15 Revision 0 – October 2016 of FFD programs to ensure or improve effectiveness and identify and prevent human error. Routine or random audits should begin with an audit plan that defines the scope of the review to include the purpose of the audit, the components of the program being examined, the sample size and the basis for it, and a schedule for when audit activities will be complete, and when the final report should be issued. For example, a limited scope audit for a fitness for duty program might be the review of personal privacy protection policies and procedures with the actual implementation processes associated with obtaining, handling and storing personal privacy information. These subject-area audits should be conducted periodically. Furthermore, program audits can be conducted early in construction to provide reasonable assurance that the FFD program meets regulatory requirements and is effective. Full program audits should be conducted prior to major construction milestones (e.g., prior to fuel loading or the 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding) or if adverse program performance is identified. The number of corrective actions identified during an audit may be used to assess the frequency of audits, the audit sample size during subsequent audits, or to change the scope of future audits.
