I NOV 1 3 1335 Docket No. 50-456 Commonwealth Edison Company ATTN: Mr. Cordell Reed Vice President post Office Box 767 L51cago, IL 60690

SUBJECT:

OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr.W. McGee, Training Supervisor, and Mr. T. Burdick, examiner, arrangen'ents were made for the administration of examinations at the Braidwood Station.

The written and oral examinations are scheduled for the week of February 3 and February 10, 1986.

In order for us to n.eet this schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Enclosure 1 " Reference Material Requirements for Operator / Senior Operator Licensing Examinations" by Decerrber 3,1985. Any delay in receiving this material will result in a delay in administering the examinations. Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to best utilize cur limited examiner man-power and to ncet the examination dates requested by the various facilities.

Therefore, missing the Decerrber 10, 1985 deadline, even by a few days, will likely result in a long delay since it may not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities. Hr. McGee has been advised of our reference material requirements, the nonber of reference n;aterial sets that are required, and the examiners' naces and addresses where each set is to be mailed.

The facility nianagement is responsible for providing adequate space and facilities in order to properly conduct the written examinations.

Enclosure 2, " Administration of Operator / Senior Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requiren;ents for conducting these exaniinctions.

Mr. McGee has also been infomed of these requirements.

All operator and senior license applications should normally be subnitted at least 60 days prior to the first examination dates so that we will be able to review the training and experience of the candidates, process the tredical certifications, and prepare final examiner assigroents af ter candidate eligibility has been determined. If the applications are not received at least 30 days prior to the c> amination dates it is likely that a postponement will be necessary.
