Dear Sir or Madam,

In response to your request for information (Reference 1), Vermont Yankee submits the attached NRC Form 536. Form 536 summarizes our projected site-specific operator licensing examination schedules, as well as the estimated number of applicants forecast to take operator licensing and NRC generic fundamentals examinations for the period 2016 through 2019.

Additionally, due to Vermont Yankee's decision to cease operation at the end of 2014, there will be no need for operator license and generic fundamentals examinations previously forecast for 2015.

There are no new regulatory commitments being made in this submittal.

Should you have any questions or require additional information concerning this submittal, please contact me at (802) 451-3374.
