Dear Mr. Tynan:

Enclosed for your information is the synopsis of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Office of Investigations= (OI) completed report regarding the failure to report an arrest by an employee of Williams Industrial Service Group, LLC, a contractor to Southern Nuclear Operating Company at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant.

OI determined that there was insufficient evidence to substantiate that the contract employee willfully failed to report the arrest to management in accordance with applicable procedures.

Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS).

Sincerely,
