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 for
