.9 December 8, 1975 Operating Nuclear Power Plant Licensees INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF DATA ENTRY SHEETS.FOR LICENSEE  !

CVENTREPORT(LER) FILE The Energy Reorganization Act 'of 1974 Section 208, defines.

" abnormal occurrence" as an unscheduled incident or event the

• Comission determines is significant from the standpoint of l public health or safety. Accordingly the term " abnormal occurrence" is reserved for usage by NRC. This restricted  ;

definition and other requirements for Section 208 will require ,

changes in the subject instructions, but for the immediate future the existing instructions can be utilized, as modified by this letter. -

The original instructions were issued in October 1974 as 00E-SS-001. The enclosure, an update to the instructions, was  !

sent to the licensees after the November 1974 regional meetings i which included discussions on the instructions. The following changes are hereby made to be effective as of receipt.

1. The term " abnormal occurrence" is to be used only by NRC in its reports to the Congress and the public.

All reports from licensees should be termed " reportable occurrences".

Licensee Event Report is an acceptable generic term. Any reference _ to, or use of the terms abnormal occurrence or A0 should cease in licensee event reporting. l

. Item 5 -- on the LER form (Event type in 00E-SS-001) should  ;

, be interpreted as follows.

01 - is to be used when referring to events requiring prompt notification (Regulatory Guide 1.16, Rev. 4, C.2.a).

5 03 - is to be used when referring to events requiring 30 day '

notification (Regulatory Guide 1.16, Rev. 4, C.2.b).

2. All classificatie'n of report significance is to be done by NRC. f Categorization by the licensee as " Prompt Notification" and 3

" Thirty-Day" reports will suffice as an indication of potential significance.

Item 6 -- on the LER form (Category in 00E-SS-001) is not to be utilized. Correction nos. 5, 6, and 7 on the enclosure are to be deleted and are so marked. All of item 6 in 00E-SS-001, pages 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and the top of page 16 should be deleted also. i l

• Typographical error in original issue, revised December 8,1975. }
