Dear Sir or Madam:
In Reference 1, the NRC issued License Amendment No. 247 to the Facility Operating License for Vermont Yankee (VY) that approved the Vermont Yankee Cyber Security Plan and associated implementation milestone schedule. The Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule contained in Reference 2 was utilized as a portion of the basis for the NRC's safety evaluation report provided by Reference 1. Entergy is planning to implement the requirements of Implementation Schedule Milestone 6 in a slightly different manner than described in the approved Implementation Schedule. Although no change to the Implementation Schedule date is proposed, the change to the description of the milestone activity is conservatively considered to be a change to the Implementation Schedule, and in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.4 and 10 CFR 50.90, Entergy is submitting this request for an amendment to the Facility Operating License for Vermont Yankee. The Vermont Yankee Cyber Security Plan, Revision 0 was previously provided in Reference 2. provides an evaluation of the proposed change. Attachment 2 contains proposed marked-up operating license pages for the Physical Protection license condition for Vermont Yankee to reference the commitment change provided in this submittal.
This letter contains security-related information - Attachment 1 (Sections 1, 2, 3) and Attachment 4 are withheld from public disclosure per 10 CFR 2.390 sc)c)) A
