Dear Mr. Dietrich:
In a telephone conversation on October 18, 2007 between Todd Fish, Sr. Operations Engineer,and Mr. David Russell, Superintendent Initial Operations Training, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region I office confirmed plans to administer licensing examinations at the James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Station during the weeks of March 31 and April 7, 2008.As agreed during the telephone conversation, the staff of the NRC will prepare the written andoperating examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." Your staff will be given the opportunity to review the examinations during the week of March 3, 2008. Earlier review of the exam will be discussed with your training department as exam development progresses.To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the reference materialsidentified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 as requested by the NRC. We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information inyour response be contained in a separate enclosure and marked appropriately. Any delay in receiving the required 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, temperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the examination results are final.Appendix E of 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 P.

If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first 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 OMB,under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on June 30, 2009.
