Dear Mr. Crane:

In a telephone conversation on February 26, 2007, Mr. Joe Costic, Manager, Operations Training, and Mr. Brian Haagensen, Operations Engineer NRC Region I, made arrangements for the U. S.

The inspection is planned for the weeks of June 4, 2007 and June 11, 2007, 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRC's inspection program needs.
