L L0ocket No. 50-285 Omaha Public Power District ATTN: -Mr. Lloyd'Shalla General Manager 1623 Hamey Street Omaha, Nebraska '68102 Gentlemen:

A revision to NRC regulations implements existing NRC authority to require that power reactor licensees provide (1) on-site, rent-free, exclusive-use office space and (2) inmediate facility access to Cosmission inspection personnel.

I enclose a copy of the final rule that was effective September 17, 1979.

1 The NRC plans to assign two resident inspectors to your Fort Calhoun facility.

The first resident inspector will assume his new duty station'by June. 30,1980.

The second resident inspector will be on site prior to.0ctober 1981.

In accordance with the regulation, the NRC expects you to provide appropriately located and adequately sized office space.

Please inform the NRC Region IV Director, Karl V. Seyfrit, 'within 60 days of your plans to acconnodate these inspectors.

Should you have any questions or concerns about this rule, please contact the Regional Director.

Sincerely, Victor Stello, Jr.
