<h3>3.x.8 Orientation plan. </h3>
<p>This paragraph shall describe any orientation and training to be given before and during the testing. This information shall be related to the personnel needs given in 3.x.7. This training may include user instruction, operator instruction, maintenance and control group instruction, and orientation briefings to staff personnel. If extensive training is anticipated, a separate plan may be developed and referenced here.</p>
<h3>3.x.9 Tests to be performed. </h3>
<p>This paragraph shall identify, by referencing section 4, the tests to be performed at the test site(s).</p>
<h1>4. Test identification. </h1>
<p>This section shall be divided into the following paragraphs to identify and describe each test to which this STP applies.</p>
<h2>4.1 General information. </h2>
<p>This paragraph shall be divided into subparagraphs to present general information applicable to the overall testing to be performed.</p>
<h3>4.1.1 Test levels.</h3>
