All POWER REACTOR LICENSEES AND APPLICANTS FOR AN OPERATING LICENSE
SUBJECT:
OPERATOR LICENSING NATIONAL EXAMINATION SCHEDULE (GENERIC LETTER (92-06)
Purpose This generic letter (GL) provides the National Examination Schedule for Operator Licensing examinations at each facility for.FY 1993 and requests licensees to provide an update to its previous estimates of the number of candidates to be tested for fiscal years 1993-1996. These estimates will assist the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation in planning its resources.
Background
In GL 89-03, "Operator Licensing National Examination Schedule," March 24, 1989, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) promulgated its first national examination schedule and requested licensees to provide estimates of the number of candidates requiring examination. In subsequent generic letters the NRC updated the schedule and requested updated projections of the number of candidates to be tested each year. To plan its resources for FY 93-96, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation is requesting through this generic letter that you provide an update of the number of candidates you submitted in response to GL 91-12, "Operator Licensing National Examination Schedule,"
August 27, 1991.
Requested Actions Using the proposed format on NRC Form 536, "Operator Licensing Examination Data," included as Enclosure 1, please update (a) your estimate of the anticipated number of candidates to be examined during each site visit assigned to you, (b) your annual requalification examination schedule for FY 1993 through FY 1996, and (c) your estimate of the number of candidates that you expect will participate in the Generic Fundamental Examination Schedule for FY 1993. is the current revision of the National Examination Schedule.
9209110197
Generic Letter 92-06 Your updated schedules, to be voluntarily submitted, should be sent to Mr.
Robert M. Gallo, Chief, Operator Licensing Branch, OWFN-1OD22, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, with a courtesy copy to the appropriate regional administrator within 30 days of receiving this letter.
The NRC regional offices will normally schedule examinations consistent with the enclosed examination schedule.
However, if the workload within a region or across the nation is excessive during a particular month, the NRC may need to adjust some designated examination dates to balance its resources.
For the month of June, schedule your examinations during the first and second weeks, since the NRC normally holds its examiner training activities during the third or fourth week. The NRC regional offices will coordinate shifting examination dates with training managers for those instances requiring changes to the requested examination schedules.
You should also be aware that the staff is considering an amendment to "Operators' Licenses," Part 55 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 55) that may alter its approach for conducting requalification program evaluations.
In the next generic letter requesting updated examination schedules, the NRC will provide additional information about its attendant effects on the National Examination Schedule.
Burden Information This request is covered by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Clearance Number 3150-0131, which expires August 31, 1995.
The estimated average burden is 2 person-hours for each owner's response, including the time required to assess the new recommendation, search data sources, gather and analyze the data, and prepare the required letters. Comments on the accuracy of this estimate and suggestions to reduce the burden may be directed to Ronald Minsk, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (3150-0131), NEOB-3019, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D.C.
20503, and to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Information and Records Management Branch (mail stop MNBB-7714), Division of Information Support Services, Office of Information and Resources Management, Washington, D.C.
