WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555
August 27, 1991
TO: All POWER REACTOR LICENSEES AND APPLICANTS FOR AN OPERATING LICENSE
SUBJECT: OPERATOR LICENSING NATIONAL EXAMINATION SCHEDULE (GENERIC LETTER 91-12)
Generic Letter (GL) 89-03, "Operator Licensing National Examination Schedule,"
March 24, 1989, promulgated the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's)
national examination schedule. It contained the two examination dates assigned each facility during each fiscal year.
To plan its resources for fiscal years 1992 through 1995, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) requests that you provide it with an update of the number of candidates you provided in response to GL 90-07, "Operator Licensing National Examination Schedule," August 10, 1990.
Using the proposed format provided as Enclosure 1, please update your estimate of the anticipated number of candidates to be examined during each site visit assigned to you. Please update your requalification examination schedule using the proposed format provided as Enclosure 2. Please estimate the number of candidates that you expect will participate in the Generic Fundamental Examination Schedule (GFES) using the proposed format provided as Enclosure 3. Enclosure 4 is the National Examination Schedule.
Your updated schedules, to be voluntarily submitted, should be returned to Mr. Robert M. Gallo, Chief, Operator Licensing Branch, OWFN-10D22, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, with a courtesy copy to the appropriate regional administrator within 30 days of receiving this letter.
As stated in GL 89-03, in the absence of extenuating circumstances, the NRC will not reschedule initial examinations, but will defer them until the next regularly scheduled site visit. The regional offices will continue to schedule NRC requalification examinations to coincide as closely as possible with each facility's requalification schedule, while still conducting sufficient examinations to ensure all operators' licenses can be renewed before they expire.
This request is covered by Office of Management and Budget Clearance Number 3150-0131, which expires March 31, 1992. The estimated average burden is 2 person-hours per owner response, including the time required to assess the new recommendation, search data sources, gather and analyze the data, and prepare the required letters. Please send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions forGeneric Letter 91-12 -2-
reducing this burden, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Information and Records Management Branch (mail stop MNBB-7714), Division of Information Support Services, Office of Information Resources Management, Washington, D.C. 20555, and to the Paperwork Reduction Project (3150-0131), Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-3019, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D.C. 20503.
