Dear Mr. Olivier:

.J in a telephone conversation on June 16,1998, between Mr. Julian Williams and l

.Mr. Mark Santiago, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing j

A's' agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Interim Revision 8, if NUREG-1021," Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors."
