Dear Mr. Pacilio:

ln a telephone conversation on December 9,2011, between Mr. John G.

The NRC's regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.

The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 of ES-201 will be due by February 15,2012' Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b) (3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 55.40(b)

All materials should 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. ln accordance with ES-302, your staff should retain the original simulator performance data (e.9., system pressures, iemperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests untilthe examination results are final. AppendirE of NUREG-102l contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered'

Signed applications certifying that alltraining has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.

After you have been notified by the NRC Chief Examiner or Branch Chief that operator licenses have been issued, please direct any inquiries concerning a formal presentation of certificates to this office. Our goal is to have the operator certificates available for your celebration. At least one month advance notice of your celebration arrangements would be appreciated to plan our senior manager attendance and process the certificates.
