&ntIer n:
Ihe pur pose of this letter is to pr ovide guidance regarding the information required on oper ator and senior operator license r'enewal applications relating to participation in the operator requalification program. We have found that vagueness or incompleteness in these applications has, at times, caused delay in their processing.
Section 55.33(a)(4) of 10 CFR Part 55 requires that the applicant provide "A statement that during the effective term of his current license the applicant has satisfactorily completed the requalification program for the facility for which operator or senior operator license renewal is sought."
"Satisfactor ily completed" means that the licensee has been administered the annual examinations and has participated in the lecture series, as required, that he has particioated in the on-the-job training; has been evaluated bf supervision regarding his performance during abnormal and emergency situations; and has participated in all the other portions of the approved requalification program.
&ction 55.33(a)(4) was wordad in this manner to preclude the need for the apolicant to furnish tne details of his participation in the program in his application for 1icense renewal, since it was expected that he would be par ticipating in the program as subnitted by the facility 1icensee and approvad by the NRC.

. In order to avoid this office having to request additional information in conjunction with renewal applications, we request that individuals who have completed all portions of the program use the term " satisfactorily completed the requalification pr ogram," in the renewal applications. Terms such as
" actively engaged," " engaged in," " participating in," should not be used to indicate complete participation.
If the a'pplicant has not completed all portions of the program, those portions not completed should be enumerated in the application for license renewal.
In addition, facility management should indicate what action has been taken, or is to be taken, to compensate for the nonparticipation. We recognize that exigencies may arise that cause an operator to miss participation in some aspect (s) of the program and these will not necessarily bar renewal of the license without reexaminati0n. However, all such events must be iden*ified and justified.
Baseel on our evaluat ion of this information, and the other information required by Section 55.33(a), we will be better able to make the determination to renew the license with or without s eexamination.
Sincerely, 0
