x Section 13.1, Termination Figure 13-1 updated due to organizational changes and reporting relationships. Vice President (VP), Nuclear Oversight changed to General Manager, Quality Assurance, and VP, Nuclear Licensing changed to VP, Nuclear Regulatory Affairs and Support Services.

Also, updated the reporting relationships for Emergency Preparedness (EP) and Nuclear Security.
