SUBJECT:

Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 Docket Number 50-346, License Number NPF-3 Rescheduling of Operator Licensing Examinations This letter is being submitted to request rescheduling of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (DBNPS) Initial Operator Licensing Examination for 2014. Letter L-1 1-209, Response to Regulatory Issue Summary 2011-04, "Preparation and Scheduling of Operator Licensing Examinations," dated June 23, 2011, requested a primary examination date of December 1, 2014, and an alternate date of January 5, 2015. Due to preparations for our upcoming Steam Generator Replacement outage in the spring of 2014, an approximate six month extension to these dates is needed. Therefore, the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) is requesting a primary examination date for the week of June 1, 2015, with an alternate date of July 6, 2015. These proposed changes have been discussed with Mr. R. Keith Walton, NRC Region III Operator Licensing.

Please note that the upcoming 2013 examinations are unaffected by this change, as are the examinations scheduled in 2016. An updated Operator Licensing Examination Data Form (NRC Form 536) is enclosed to reflect these changes, along with a revised schedule for the proposed administration of the Generic Fundamentals Examination in 2013 and 2014.

There are no regulatory commitments included in this letter. If there are any questions or if additional information is required, please contact Mr. Daniel T. Hartnett, Superintendent - Nuclear Operations Training at (419) 249-2396.

Sincerely, Raymond A. Lieb yaw o
