Subject:

hotification of Changes in Operator or Senior Operator Status The purpose of this letter is to inform you of NRC's interpretation of Section 10 CFR 60.74(a), which states: "Permanent reassignment from the position for which the licensee has certified the need for a licensed operator or senior operator under 55.31(a)(3) cf this chapter" regarding notification of changes in operator or senior operator status.

~

The requirement for notification to the NRC applies in the event that an operator is permanently reassigned from a licensed position to an non-licensed position and there is no intent to return that operator to a licensed position.

If an operator goes from a licensed position to a non-licensed position (while in the non-licensed position the license can be maintaineo in an active or inactive status) and the possibility exists for future reassignment to a licensed position, then 50.74 does not apply, and notification is not required.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (415) 943-3868.

Sincerely, N

Robert J. Pate, Chief Reactor Safety Branch cc: Dr. R. Seale, University of Arizona l
