Dear Mr. Franz:

In a telephone conversation on January 11,1999, between Mr. Mike Davis, Training Supervisor-Operations, and Mr. Mike Bielby, Operator Ucensing Branch, arrangements were 1

made for the administration of a licensing examination at the Duane Amold Energy Center the week of May 24,1999.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the reactor operator written examination based on the guidelines in Interim Revision 8, of NUREG-1021, " Operator s-Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC regicnal office ~will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examination is administered.

' To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for pur staff to fumish the pioposed written

)

i examination and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 by

}

April 30,1999. Any delay in receiving the required examinatien and reference inaterials, or the l-submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examination to be j'

rescheduled, t

In order to conduct the requested written examination, it will be necessary for your staff to

{

provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402.

Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examination is being administered.

If the application is not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary. A signed application certifying that all training has been completed should be r

submitted at least 14 days before the examination date.

This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C._3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0101, which expires on April 30,2000.
