and Construction P. O. Box 1551 Raleigh, NC 27602 Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr. John Moyer, and Mr. John Munro, Operator Licensing Section, arrangements were made for administration of the Operator examinations at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant.

The written, plant oral, and simulator examinations are scheduled for the week of May 19, 1986.

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 March 19, 1986. 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 March 19, 1986, 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. Moyer 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 infonnation was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under a blanket Clearance Number 3150-0101 which expires on June 30, 1986.

Comments on burden and duplication may 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,

" Administration of Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requirements for conducting these examinations. Mr. Moyer has also been informed of these requirements.
