SUBJECT:

REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION - SUSQUEHANNA

Dear Mr. Shriver:

In a telephone conversation on July 25, 2005, Mr. Stephen Barr, Region I Senior Operations Engineer and Mr. Michael Jacopetti, Susquehanna Requalification Training Leader, made arrangements for the NRC to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Susquehanna facility. The inspection is planned for the week of September 12, 2005, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification program.

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRC's inspection program needs. In order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish: 1) an index or summary of condition reports written in the past two years in which licensed operator errors were determined to be the root or contributing cause; 2) an index or summary of condition reports written in the past two years on simulator performance problems; 3) an index or summary of simulator performance test results in the past two years; and 4) the examination schedule, sample plan, and operating test scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by August 29, 2005. Mr. Jacopetti has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.

This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0018, which expires on June 30, 2006.

The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average four hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments on any aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Information and Records Management Branch (T-6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail at SLF@NRC.GOV, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202 (3150-0101), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.

2 Mr. Bryce L. Shriver The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this inspection, please contact Mr. S. Barr at (610) 337-5316.

Sincerely,

/RA/
