r E'117 gg Docket No. 50-315 Docket No. 50-316 American Electric Power Service Corporation Indiana and Michigan Electric Company ATTN: Mr. John E. Dolan Vice Chairman Engineering and Construction 1 Riverside Plaza Columbus, OH 43216
Dear Mr. Dolan:
SUBJECT:
OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr. Bill Davidson, Training, and Mr. T. Burdick, Region III examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of examinations at the D. C. Cook Plant.
The written and oral examinations are scheduled for the week of May 19, 1986.
In order for us to meet this schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Enclosure 1 " Reference Material Requirements for Operator / Senior Operator Licensing Examinations" by March 19, 1986. Any delay in receiving this material will result in a delay in administering the examinations. Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to best utilize our limited examiner manpower and to meet the examination dates requested by the various facilities.
Therefore, missing the March 19, 1986 deadline, even by a few days, will likely result in a long delay since it may not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities. Mr. Davidson has been advised of our 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.
The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and facilities in order to properly conduct the written examinations.,
" Administration of Operator / Senior Operator Licensing Written Examinations,"
describes our requirements for conducting these examinations. Mr. Davidson has also been informed of these requirements.
All operator and senio'r license applications should normally be submitted at least 60 days prior to the first examination dates so that we will be able to review the-training and experience of the candidates, process the medical certifications, and prepare final examiner assignments after candidate I
