Discussion

    The draft NUREG provides the basis for the development of content-
valid licensing examinations for reactor operators (ROs) and senior 
reactor operators (SROs). The examinations developed using this Catalog 
along with the Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power 
Reactors (NUREG-1021) will sample the topics listed under Title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 55.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 9th day of January 2012.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Veronica Rodriguez,
Acting Chief, Operator Licensing and Human Performance Branch, Division 
of Construction Inspection and Operational Programs, Office of New
