The NRC staff has reviewed your submittal and has determined that additional information is required to complete the final staff assessment of the licensee response to the NRC Bulletin.

Before submitting responses to the NRC, licensees must evaluate them for proprietary, sensitive, safeguards, or classified information and mark such information appropriately.
