Dear Mr. Lash:

In a telephone conversation on May 23, 2006, Mr. Gilbert Johnson, Operations Engineer/

The inspection is planned for the week of July 31, 2006, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification program.

Mr. Kuhar has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
