==Dear Mr. Flores:==
==Dear Mr. Flores:==
On March 9, 2015, Garry Struble, Simulator and Licensing Examination Manager, notified the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Region IV's staff via electronic mail that the initial retake examination scheduled at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant for the week of March 23, 2015, was no longer needed. This retake examination included a written examination for two reactor operator applicants. Mr. Kenneth Peters of your staff formally cancelled the examination by letter to Marc Dapas, Regional Administrator, dated March 12, 2015. Per the request, applications for the two reactor operator applicants have been withdrawn. The examination development process was cancelled after the completion of the draft examination review process at your request; however, the portions of the examination that were reviewed with comments provided to your staff will be included in the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).
In a telephone conversation on September 10, 2014, between Messrs. Gary Struble, Simulator and Licensing Examination Manager, and Sean Hedger, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of a retake licensing examination at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, during the week of February 9, 2015.


No findings were identified during this examination.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the retake examination (written examination for two reactor operator applicants) based on the guidelines in NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1, and NUREG-1122, "Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for Nuclear Power Plant Operators," Revision 2, Supplement 1. The NRC's regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.


UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION IV 1600 E LAMAR BLVD ARLINGTON, TX In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC's Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the electronic Reading Room page of the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outlines by November 24, 2014. The written examination and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by December 22, 2014. 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.

We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked.


Sincerely,/RA/
Any delay in receiving the required examinations 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 examination, it will be necessary for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402. In addition, Appendix E to NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examination is being administered. To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary operator license applications [Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090], medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024), and waiver requests (if any) (OMB approval number 3150-0090) by January 5, 2015.

If the final signed applications are not received by that date, a postponement may be necessary.

SUBJECT: COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC RETAKE OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000445/2015301; 05000446/2015301

Dear Mr. Flores:

In a telephone conversation on September 10, 2014, between Messrs. Gary Struble, Simulator and Licensing Examination Manager, and Sean Hedger, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of a retake licensing examination at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, during the week of February 9, 2015.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the retake examination (written examination for two reactor operator applicants) based on the guidelines in NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1, and NUREG-1122, "Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for Nuclear Power Plant Operators," Revision 2, Supplement 1. 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 examination outlines by November 24, 2014. The written examination and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by December 22, 2014. 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. We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked.

Any delay in receiving the required examinations 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 examination, it will be necessary for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402. In addition, Appendix E to NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examination is being administered. To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary operator license applications [Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090], medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024), and waiver requests (if any) (OMB approval number 3150-0090) by January 5, 2015. Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted by January 26, 2015. If the final signed applications are not received by that date, a postponement may be necessary.

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 OMB, under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on April 30, 2016. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of these information collections, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Records and FOIA/Privacy Services Branch (T-5 F52), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail to INFOCOLLECTS@NRC.GOV. The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
