Dear Mr. Church:

Specifically, individuals and work groups communicate and coordinate their activities within and across organizational boundaries to ensure nuclear safety is maintained If you contest the violation or significance of the Non-Cited Violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555 0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC resident inspector at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.
