text

August 4, 1987

TO ALL POWER REACTOR LICENSEES AND APPLICANTS FOR AN OPERATING LICENSE

Gentlemen:

Subject: OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS (Generic Letter 87-14)

To update the schedules you provided in response to Generic Letter 86-14, please provide the best estimate of your needs for operator licensing examinations for FY 1988, FY 1989, FY 1990, and FY 1991 (October 1 to September 30 of each year). In addition, please identify the dates for your scheduled requalification examinations and the anticipated number of examinations and dates for each licensing examination site visit. We need this information to plan our resources so they will be 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 have to redistribute the requested facility operator examination visits throughout the fiscal year to even out the examination workload. Your submittal of an examination schedule does not guarantee the number or date of examinations requested; however, your best estimate of your needs 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. John Hannon, Chief, Operator Licensing Branch, AR-5221, Washington, DC 20555, with a courtesy copy to the appropriate Regional Administrator by September 15, 1987. We appreciate your assistance. If you have any questions concerning this request or your response, please call Mr. Hannon at (301)

492-4868.

8708040127This request was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under clearance number 3150-0131, which expires August 31, 1988. Comments on burden and duplication may be directed to the Office of Management and Budget, Reports Management, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

Sincerely,

Frank J. Miraglia, Associate Director for Projects Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
