Dear Sir or Madam:

In reference 3 Energy Northwest submitted a partial response to references 1 and 2.

The responses not provided pertained to generic changes to the NRC endorsed template for licensee's changes to their Physical Security Plans. After further meetings between nuclear power industry representatives (NEI) and NRC, a number of these generic changes have been reconciled and all but two of Energy Northwest's remaining responses to references 1 and 2 are provided herein. The remaining two responses will be provided when the specific associated language has been resolved.
