REFERENCE:

Docket No. 50-285 l

Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

IE Inspection Report 86-30 The Omaha Public Power District received the subject inspection report dated December 22, 1986 containing unresolved item 285/8630-01.

This unresolved item concerned the reporting of disabilities of licensed operators in accord-ance with 10 CFR 55.41, as is explained in greater detail within that in-spection report.

Of concern was whether the Company had an adequate aware-ness of 10 CFR 55.41 and whether its criteria were being appropriately applied.

The specifics of the case (relating to a vision impairment of a Fort Calhoun Station Shift Supervisor) were discussed during a meeting on December 22, j

1986 at Region IV headquarters.

Present at this meeting were Eric Johnson, I

Ray Hall, and Ralph Cooley of the NRC and Richard Andrews and Gary Gates of the Company.

The Company has always been aware of the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 55.41, but lacked the procedural mecharisms to assure a high level of sensitivity to the issue. At this meeting, the Company indicated that actions would be taken to ensure timely NRC notification of any licensed oper-ator disabilities pursuant to 10 CFR 55.41.

The actions taken are as follows:

1.

A new administrative standing order has been implemented which pro-vides clear direction to licensed operators for ensuring the reporting of disabilities.

A training " hotline" has been issued to all licensed operators to en-sure an awareness of the requirements of the new standing order.

3.

All currently licensed operators have been contacted to further ensure awareness of and compliance with 10 CFR 55.41. No additional condi-tions warranting reporting were found during this process.

The actions taken by the Company will ensure compliance with 10 CFR 55.41 in the future.

If you have further questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely, k
