Dear Mr. Burton:

In a telephone conversation on November 24, 2008, Mr. Edwin Lea, NRC Senior Operations Engineer, and Ken Bailey, Supervisor of Operator Continuing Training, made arrangements for the NRC to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant. The inspection is planned for the week of January 12, 2009, 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. It is our understanding that your simulator is committed to ANSI/ANS-3.5-1998, AAmerican National Standard for Nuclear Power Plant Simulators for use in Operator Training and Examination.@

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC has requested that you submit the material as specified in the Enclosure, in order to support the NRC's inspection program needs. Mr. Bailey has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.

This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval number Part 55 (3150-0018), which expires on June 30, 2009.

The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average four hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments on any aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Information and Records Management Branch (T-6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail at SLF@NRC.GOV; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0101), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
