Dear Mr. Cobb:
In a letter dated June 12, 2006, (Serial No. 06-0046), your staff requested we schedule an initiallicense operator examination on August 3, 2006. In a subsequent telephone conversation on June 13, 2006, between Mr. T. Haran, Supervisor, Nuclear Training, and Mr. M.

The requested examination has been scheduled to be administered during the week of August 8, 2006. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the examination during the scheduledweek, we will inform you immediately upon discovery of such conditions and makearrangements to administer the examination at a mutually acceptable date.As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will develop the re-take writtenexamination based on the guidelines in Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, "Operator LicensingExamination Standards for Power Reactors."
