" Attendance at the retraining lectures shall be documented using the lecture attendance sheet MY-T-4-77.
The training group shall then transfer this information to Form MY-T-6-77, annual plant training record." It appears that the fire training records have not been provided to the training group for transfer to the MY-T-6-77 form.
This item is unresolved pending a review of the training records of the licensee.
