By letter dated April 27, 1990, Toledo Edison Company requested an amendment to delete the March 5, 1980 Order from the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power station, Unit No. 1. Facility Operating License HPF-3.
The March 5, 1980 Order required implementation of certain training, qualification, and staffing requirements.
2.0 EVALVATION Training, qualification, and staffing requirements have changed since the issuance of the March 5, 1980 Order.
Specifically, a change to 10 CFR Part 55, " Operators' Licenses," has been made which allows a systems based approach to training. The licensee has instituted a systems based approach to training and has obtained accreditation for its programs from the Institute of Nuclear Power Operation (INP0).
As a result, the licensee has requested deletion of the March 5, 1980 Order because it is obsolete.
The Order has four requirements.
The first requirement (Item la of Section VII of the Order) was for Toledo Edison (TE) to return six experienced and fully qualified equipment operators to regular shift work to provide two fully qualified equipment operators for each operating shift.
The additional qualified individuals were required to remain on shif t duty until such time as they were relieved from duty by other fully qualified individuals who were appropriately trained and certified by the training departmert.
Since TE now has an INP0 accredited training program for equipment operators and their Technical Specifications (TS) meet the NRC requirement for minimum-shift crew composition, the NRC staff finds that this item is met and can be deleted.

, Item Ib of the Order requires TE to provide one additional person for each day shift.to relieve the shift foreman (shift supervisor) license Amendment No.
of non-licensed administrative responsibilities.
TS were changed by 107, dated September 20, 1989, to recuire two senior reactor operators (SRO) on shift in Modes 1 through 4 insteac of just one SRO.
In addition. TE has an administrative procedure that requires a shift supervisor administrative asristant be assigned on day shif t, 7 days a week, to assist the shift supervisor in handling certain administrative duties and paper work.
Based on this information, the NRC staff finds that item Ib can be deleted, item Ic required TE or an outside contract organization to expedite the on-the-job training schedule for existing equipment operators who are not yet.
fully qualified.
This expedited program was to continue to at least the next refueling outage following March 5, 1980. TE now has a systems based approach to training accredited by INPO.
Based on the INPO accredited training program and the length of time that has passed, the NRC staff finds that Item le can be deleted.
Item 2 required TE to man each operating shift with a complete compicment of fully qualified personnel in accordance with the staffing and qualification levels set forth in draft ANSI Standard 3.1 prior to returning the station to operation from the scheduled April 1980 refueling outage.
This action was completed by TE.
In addition, as stated above, 10 CFR Part 55 has been changed since issuance of the Order, and as a result TE has instituted a systems-based approach to training that is accredited by INPO. Also, TE meets the NRC requirement for minimum shift crew composition.
Therefore, the NRC staff finds that Item 2 can be deleted.
The NRC stiff has reviewed the licensee's submittal concerning deletion of the-March 5, 1980 Order.
Based on the above, the NRC staff finds that the March 5, 1980 Order is no longer necessary. Therefore, the~NRC staff approves the deletion of the March 5, 1980 Order.

The State offi il had no comments.
