Content:
Section 2.2, "Determination of Initial Capability," and Section 2.3, "Evaluation of Performance," of ANSI N45.2.6-1978 deal with the use of evaluation of job perform- ance and determination of initial capability to perform the job. Use of the measures outlined in these sections to estab- lish that an individual has the required qualifications in lieu of required education and experience should result in docu- mented objective evidence (i.e., procedures and record of written test) demonstrating that the individual indeed does have "comparable" or "equivalent" competence to that which would be gained from having the required education and experience. D. IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of this section is to provide information to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this regulatory guide. This regulatory guide will be used in evaluation of applications for construction permits and operating licenses docketed after September 30, 1980. In addition, the NRC intends to apply Regulatory Posi- tions C.5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 of this regulatory guide to operating plants and plants under construction. The remaining regula- tory positions cover areas of concern that were addressed by the August 1973 version of Regulatory Guide 1.58 and are already being implemented by operating plants and plants under construction. Implementation schedules for Regulatory Positions C.5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. It is expected that these positions will be required to be implemented by February 27, 1981. 1.58-3 VALUE/IMPACT STATEMENT 1.
