Gentlemen:.
Subject: OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS (Generic Letter 85-18)
To update the schedules you provided in response to Generic Letter 85-04, please provide the best estimate of your needs for operator licensing examinations for fiscal years FY 1986, FY 1987, FY 1988 and FY 1989 (October 1 to September 30 of each year). You are also requested to provide requalification examination schedules for this same time period. Please identify the dates you have scheduled requalification examinations and anticipated requests for licensing examination site visits and the number of examinations for each visit. This information is needed to plan our resource requirements consistent with your operator licensing needs.
Because of continued budget limitations, we will attempt to limit examinations to two visits per site each year. To meet this goal the regional offices may be required to redistribute the requested facility operator examination visits across the entire fiscal year to even out the examination work load and eliminate high demand periods. Therefore, your submittal of this schedule does not guarantee the number or date of examinations requested. However, a best estimate of your needs for examinations will allow us to propose budget modifications, if necessary. Please keep us informed of significant changes in your estimates as they occur, so we can keep our data base current.
Your schedules, in the enclosed suggested formats, should be returned to Mr. Bruce Boger, Acting Chief, Operator Licensing Branch, AR-5221, Washington, DC 20555, with a courtesy copy to the appropriate Regional Administrator within 30 days of the receipt of this letter and in ho event later than November 1, 1985. We appreciate your assistance. If you have any questions concerning this request or your response, please call Mr. Bruce Boger, Acting Chief, Operator Licensing Branch, at (301) 492-4868.
This request was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under clearance number 3150-0131 which expires August 31, 1988. Comments on burden
