05000361/2007301; 05000362/2007301Dear Mr. Rosenblum:

In a telephone conversation on December 6, 2006, between Messers. K. Clayton, ChiefExaminer, and A. Hagemeyer, Operations Training Supervisor, arrangements were made for

the administration of licensing examinations at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station during

the weeks of June 4 and June 11, 2007.As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based onthe guidelines in Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for

Power Reactors." The NRC's regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might

be necessary before the examinations are administered.To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examinationoutlines by February 4, 2007. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting

reference materials identified in Attachment 2 to ES-201 will be due by April 5, 2007. [Pursuant

to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 55.40(b)(3)), an

authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outlines, examinations, and

tests before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials shall be

complete and ready-to-use.] Any delay in receiving the required examination and reference

materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations

to be rescheduled.In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessaryfor your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402, and

to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above. In accordance with ES-302,

your staff should retain the original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures,

Southern California Edison Company-2-temperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the examinationresults are final.Appendix E to NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be ineffect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactoroperator and senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget

and waiver requests (if any)(OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the first
