UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION Ill 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 2 IO LISLE, ILLINOIS 60532-4352 January 23, 2008 Mr. Joseph H. Plona Site Vice President Fermi Power Plant Detroit Edison Company 6400 North Dixie Highway Newport, MI 48166
SUBJECT:
OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL
Dear Mr. Plona:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations at the Fermi Power Plant.
The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its review of the operator license applications in connection with this examination and separately provided a list of approved applicants to Mr. Gregory A. Baustian, Training Manager. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.
The NRC has approved the subject examinations and hereby authorizes you to administer the written examinations in accordance with Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," during the weeks of January 28 or February 4, 2008. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of January 28, 2008. This examination has undergone extensive review by my staff and representatives responsible for licensed operator training at your facility. Based on this review, I have concluded that the examination meets the guidelines of NUREG-I021 for content, operational, and discrimination validity. By administering this examination, you also agree that it meets NUREG-I021 guidelines, and is appropriate for measuring the qualifications of licensed operator applicants at your facility. If you determine that this examination is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, do not administer the examination and contact me at 630-Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Michael Bielby, at 630-829-9762, if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (RO or SRO) or type of examination (partial or complete written examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant.

SUBJECT:
FERMI POWER PLANT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ADMINISTRATION OF LICENSING EXAMINATION WEEK OF JANUARY 28,2008
Dear Mr. Davis:
In a telephone conversation on September 17. 2007, between Mr. T. Horan. General Supervisor Operations Training, and Mr. Dell McNeil, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Fermi 2 Power Plant the week of January 28, 2008. In addition, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of January 7, 2008.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outlines by October 22, 2007. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 to ES-201 will be due by November 19, 2007.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (IO CFR 55..40(b)(3)), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outlines, examinations, and tests before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials shall be complete and ready to use. We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. Any delay in receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled.
In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402. and to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above. In accordance with ES-302.
your staff should retain the original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, temperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the examination results are final.
Appendix E of NUREG-I021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090). medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024),
and waiver requests (if any) (OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
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 30,2009. The public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> 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-5 F53), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail at BJSI@nrc.gov; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D.C. 20503-0001.
The NRC may neither conduct nor 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. Mr. Horan has been advised of the policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's examination procedures and guidelines, please contact M. Bielby at 630-829-9762, or me at 630-829-9707.
