Dear Mr. McCarthy:
We are in receipt of your letter of June 15, 1988 regarding the license renewal applicction filed on May 12, 1988 bySouthernCaliforniaEdison(SCE)onbehalf of Mr. Maurice P. Acosta, Reactor Operator License Docket No. 55-8347.
Because of certain ambiguities, we find it necessary to request clarification of your letter, as discussed below, in order for the staff to further consider the matter of Mr. Acosta's application in light of his answer to the staff's June 15, 1988 Order Suspending License (Effective Imediately) and Notice of Denial of
~
Application for Renewal of License.
In your letter, you notified the NRC that Mr. Acosta had been relieved of licensed operator duties as of June 2, 1988 and was undergoing medical and psychological evaluations.
You further stated that "[d]uring the remaining term of Mr. Acosta's license (OP-6010-2), he will not be reassigned licensed operator duties until the examining physician has determined that his medical and psychological condition is satisfactory for the serformance of those duties '
It is requested that you specifically advise us whetier the foregoing language is a current determination by you as the facility licensee, (1) that, pursuant to 10 CFR 55.25 the licensed individual, Mr. Acosta, has developed a condition that causes Mr. Acosta to fail to reet the requirements of 10 CFR 55.21 and/
or (2) that pursuant to 10 CFR 55.55(ah,)the licensed individual, Mr. Acosta,for the remainin no longer needs to maintain a license (a (i.e.untilJuly1,1938)and/or(b)aftertheexpirationdatespecifiedinhis
'icense such that the determination is effective as of July 1,1988.
If SCE has deterrined that Mr. Acoste no longer needs to maintain a license, then this change of status vust be reported to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.74 and his license will expire as of the date of this determination asrequiredby10CFR55.55(a).
In addition, notification to the NRC that a licensed operator no longer has a need for a license by a facility licensee would be cause for denial of license renewal under 10 CFR 55.57(b)(3) 11 You also advised that, in the circumstances, "it is considered prudent to withdraw Mr. Acosta's renewal application submitted by the Reference
- specified in your letter. The provisions of 10 CFR 55.57, although requiring certain inforr.ation from the facility licensee, states that an application for renewal of an operator's license be filed by the applicant, i.e., the reactor operator.
We understand your withdrawal statement to be intended to withdraw th.e information required to be submitted by SCE on behalf of Mr. Acosta pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55(b).
If more than that was intended by your statement, please advise whether notwith-standing Mr. Acosta's July 1,1988 requeu for a hearing on the denial of his renewal application, he concurred in the complete withdrawal of his applicRTon.
