Dear Mr. Ward:

In a telephone conversation between Messrs. John Elin and Gary Johnston of our staff and Mr. Joe Chwastyk, arrangements where made for an evaluation of the requalification program at the Rancho Seco Nuclear Plant. The evaluation visit is scheduled for the week of May 4, 1987.

For this visit, the NRC examiner will administer NRC prepared written and.

oral examinations. When the NRC examiner arrives at the site, he will meet with the appropriate facility personnel to review the schedule for these examinations. For the examiner to adequately prepare for this visit, it will  ;

be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Enclosure 1 " Reference Material Requirements for Requalification Program Evaluations," by March 16, 1987. Mr. Chwastyk has been advised of our reference material requirements and where they are to be sent.

Enclosure 3 to this letter includes a list of licensed operators at the facility that we request be made available to participate in the requalification evaluation. If the list includes persons who cannot be made available because of other needs, please inform us as early as possible so other persons may be selected to accommodate the schedule.

This request for information was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under clearance number 3150-0101, which expires May 31, 1989. Comments on burden and duplication may be directed to the Office of Management and Budget, Reports Management Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions

'on the evaluation process, please contact Mr. Gary Johnston or Mr. John Elin, in Region V (415-943-3700).
