The following schedule should be used for all exercises:

Days in Advance Information to be Submitted 90 Description and scope of exercise, and the objec-tives to be fulfilled should be received in the Region I office. The objectives should include specific objectives to demonstrate, where appro-priate, the effectiveness of corrective actions taken in regard to problem areas which have been previously identified during NRC inspection, emergency exercises and drills and your internal evaluation process.
