SUBJECT:

OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr. Bill Miller, Training Supervisor and Mr. Bill Dean, Operator Licensing Section, arrangements were made for adminis-tration of the operator and senior operator examinations at the Florida Power and Light Company, Turkey Point Nuclear Plant. Additionally, arrangements to evaluate the requalification program concurrently were also made.

The written and plant oral examinations are scheduled for the weeks of February 3 and February 10, 1986. The requalification examinations are scheduled for.the same time period.

In order for us to meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the selected reference material from the approved list in Enclosure 1 by November 25, 1985. Any delay in receiving this material will result in a delay in administration of the examinations. Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to utilize our present limited examiner manpower and to meet the examination date requested by the various facilities.

Therefore, missing the November 25, 1985 deadline, even by a few days, will likely ,

result in a long delay, since it would not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities. Mr. Miller has been advised of our selected reference material requirements, the number of reference material sets that are required, and the examiners' names and addresses where each set is to be mailed.

This request for information was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under a blanket Clearance Numbcr 3150-0101 which expires on June 30, 1986.

Comments on burden and duplication Ray be directed to the Office of Management and Budget, Reports Management, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and facilities in order to properly conduct the written examinations. Enclosure 2, "Administra-tion of Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requirements for conducting these examinations. Mr. Miller has also been informed of these requirements.
