Dear Mr. Sullivan:

In a telephone conversation on February 17, 2016, Mr. Brian Fuller, Senior Operations Engineer, and Mr. Aaron Armstrong, Operations Training Superintendent, made arrangements for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the James A.

The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification program.
