SUBJECT:
Response to NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2017-03 Preparation and Scheduling of Operator Licensing Examinations On April 5, 2017, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2017-03, "Preparation and Scheduling of Operator Licensing Examinations." The RIS requests the voluntary submittal of licensees to provide updated information on future licensing examinations for operators for the calendar years 2019 through 2022 on Form 536, "Operator Licensing Examination Data."
Attached are the NRC 536 forms for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Catawba Nuclear Station, Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, McGuire Nuclear Station, Oconee Nuclear Station, and H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant. Crystal River Unit 3 did not submit NRC Form 536, as new operators are not anticipated for this site.

- RA-17-0024 Page2 This submittal contains no new regulatory commitments or changes to previous commitments.
