Attachment 2, " Administration of Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requirements for conducting these I

examinations. Additional information requirements will be handled on an individual basis and will not impact the examination schedule. Attachment 1, is a copy of the material Region IV maintains.
All reactor and senior reactor operator license applications normally should be submitted at least 60 days before the first examination dates so that we will be able to review training and experience of the candidates, process
medical certifications, and prepare final examiner assignments after candidate eligibility has been determined. If applications are not received at least 30 days before the examinatien dates, it is likely that a postponement will be necessary.

l Request for information was approved by the Office of Management and Budget i under Clearance Number 3151-0101, which expires May 31, 1989. Coments on

, burden and duplication may be directed to the Office of Management and
