Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 1 and Unit 2 SUPPLEMENT TO TEMPORARY EXEMPTION REQUEST FROM SECURITY TRAINING REQUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF 10 CFR PART 73, APPENDIX B, SECTION VI

Reference:

1. Letter from M. K. Scarpello, Indiana Michigan Power Company (l&M), to U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), "Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 1 and Unit 2 Temporary Exemption Request From Security Training Requirements of 10 CFR PART 73, APPENDIX B, SECTION VI," dated June 18, 2020.

2. Letter from H. Nieh and J. Lubinski, NRC, to Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), "U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Planned Actions Related to the Requirements for Part 73, Appendix B,Section VI During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Public Health Emergency,"

dated April 20, 2020, Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML20105A483.

In Reference 1, Indiana Michigan Power Company (l&M), the licensee for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP) Unit 1 and Unit 2, Facility Operating Licenses No. DPR-58 and DPR-74, respectively, requested an exemption from certain requirements in 10 CFR Part 73 due to isolation activities (e.g., social distancing) in effect at CNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 as a result of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency (PHE). Reference 1 was written in accordance with the guidance outlined in Reference 2, but contained one variance. This supplement to Reference 1 is to remove the variance between Reference 1 and Reference 2.

The variance contained in Reference 1 addressed the duration for how long the exemption would be in effect. Reference 2 states that:

"Exemptions that are approved under this expedited review process will be in effect until 90 days after the PHE is ended or until December 31, 2020, whichever occurs first."

With regards to the duration of exemptions, Reference 1 states that:

"The time period during which the exemptions are required is not currently known, but will be in effect until December 31, 2020."

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission AEP-NRC-2020-54 Page2 To eliminate the variance between Reference 1 and Reference 2, the first sentence following the Table on page 2 of Reference 1 is being changed from:

"The time period during which the exemptions are required is not currently known, but will be in effect until December 31, 2020."

To state:

"The time period during which the exemptions are required is not currently known, but will be in effect until 90 days after the PHE is ended or until December 31, 2020, whichever occurs first. "

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments. Should you have any questions, please contact me at (269) 466-2649.
