SUMMARY

2013-06 PREPARATION AND SCHEDULING OF OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Issue Summary 2013-06, "Preparation and Scheduling of Operator Licensing Examinations," dated June 7, 2013, requests licensees to update examination schedules and applicant estimates for calendar years 2015 through 2018.

Indiana Michigan Power Company, the licensee for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP) Units 1 and 2, is providing, as an enclosure to this letter, NRC Form 536, "Operator Licensing Examination Data," which contains the details of CNP's examination schedule as requested. CNP has fewer applicants than originally planned for the July 2014 class; this is the only change since our previous submittal, AEP-NRC-2012-52, "Response to Regulatory Issue Summary 2012-07, Preparation and Scheduling of Operator Licensing Examinations," dated July 23, 2012.

There are no commitments included in this submittal. Should you have any questions, please contact Ron Sieber, Training Manager at (269) 466-3439.

Sincerely, Joel P. Gebbie Site Vice President KMH/db
