NA 2 of 2 Response Section Proposed Resolution of FAQ and basis for the proposal:

This FAQ asks for clarification of what is "familiarization with plant fire prevention procedures, fire reporting, and plant emergenc y alarms" regarding scope of or depth of the training." Because existing employee general access and indoctrination training is a mature program, and based on NEI 03-04, Guide for Plant Access Training, section 7.5 Fire Protection, consistent information of su fficient detail, is prov ided at all sites by their General Employee Training (GET)

Program. The proposed interpretation contains those key elements listed in the NEI guidance.

If appropriate, provide proposed rewording of guidance for inclusion in next revision.

As follows; Interpretation for NFPA 805 specific sectio ns as may be applied under NEI 04-02, to be included in Appendices of NEI 04-02 upon approval of interpretation (final formatting to be provided by NEI contract writers).

Where used in section 3.3.1.1, the term, "familiarization with plant fire prevention procedures, fire reporting, and plant emergency alarms", shall be considered to be equivalent to that information presented in the plant's approved General Employee Training (GET). Specific traini ng objectives should include; -State individual responsibilities regarding fire barriers such as fire dampers, doors, and seals.

-State actions an individual is requi red to take upon discovery of a fire. -State individual responsibilities rega rding the control of fire loading (wood, solvents, oil) and the disposal of flammable materials. -State examples of the types of hot work requiring a permit.

-Recognize and state the response to a station fire alarm.
