Pursuant to the above referenced letter, Public Service Electric and Gas Company has reviewed regulatory positions C.5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 of Regulatory Guide 1.58 Revision 1, dated September 1980 and Regulatory Guide 1.146, dated August 198 0 and agree to comply with their recommendations with one exception.

Paragraph 6 of Regulatory Guide 1.58 requires for "....

Level I, II, and III personnel, the candidate should be a high school graduate or have earned the General Education Development Equivalent of a high school diploma." Both Public Service Electric and Gas Company and the American National Standard ANSI /ASME N45.2.6-1978, Para. 3.5 have recognized " ... that other factors may provide reasonable assurance that a person can competently perform a particular task." The other factors which may demonstrate capability in a given job are previous performance or satisfactory com-pletion of testing. These two factors will be considered when evaluat.ng education and experience requirements for certification.

The Hope Creek Program will be revised to reflect the recommendations of these documents.
