safety inspection scheduled for September 30 through October 4, 2019 at your site.

Currently, the inspectors scheduled for this inspection are Natasha Greene and Bernadette

Baca. I am the inspection team lead. The inspection will focus on Inspection Procedures

(IP) 71124.01 , 71124.03, and 71151 .

All requested documents should be uploaded on or before Monday, September 9, 2019.

If there are any questions and/or concerns regarding these requests, please feel free to

meeting time and location. We currently expect to conduct an Entrance on Monday, late

afternoon, and an Exit early on Friday morning. Also, please inform me of any required

docs/actions needed to acquire/maintain site access for the scheduled inspectors. Thank

you!

NOTE:

The information requested for an in-office review may be provided in either electronic or

paper media or a combination of these. Information provided in electronic media may be in

the form of uploads for an online secured document management service, e-mail

attachments, or CD. The agency's text editing software is MS Word ; however, we have

document viewing capability for Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) text files. Information requested to be

reviewed onsite during the inspection week should be paper media.

P.S. If you are not the correct contact for this inspection. please pass it on to the
