ENCLOSURE 3 ADDENDUM INSTRUCTION TO NRC FORM 398 Applies to the instructions for item 4.g, on the " Type of Application":

g. DATE PASSED GENERIC FUNDAMENTALS EXAM SECTION (GFES)

The last sentence of 4.g states: "This does not include instructor certification examinations or requalification examinations".

This statement is in error and is not in accordance with Interim Rev. 8, ES-205, section B, third paragraph, which states as follows:

" Applicants do not need to take the GFE (nor obtain a waiver) if they were previously issued an RO or SRO license or an instructor certification

[ underline added] based on a site specific written examination (on the same type of facility) that was administered between February 1982 and November 1989 and included the material covered by the GFE. Applicants who were issued a license before 1982, will have to take the examination or apply for a waiver in accordance with ES-204.

The last sentence of 4.g should read, "This does not include reoualification examinations."
