SUBJECT:
SURRY POWER STATION - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE CYBER-SECURITY BASELINE SECURITY INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000280/2022404; 05000281/2022404
Dear Mr. Stoddard:
On August 29, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC ) will begin a baseline inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.1 0 Cyber-Security, Revision 0 at your Surry Power Station. The inspection will be performed t o evaluate and verify your ability to provide assurance that your digital computer and communicati on systems and networks associated with safety, security, or emergency preparedness (SS EP) functions are adequately protected against cyber attacks in accordance with the requirem ents of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 73, Section 54, and the NRC approved Cyber Security Plan (CSP). The onsite portion of the inspection will take place dur ing the week of August 29, 2022.
Experience has shown that baseline inspections are extremely re source intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. To minimize the inspecti on impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclos ed a request for documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided in to four groups.
The first group specifies information necessary to assist the i nspection team in choosing the focus areas (i.e., sample set) to be inspected by the cyberse curity IP. This information should be made available electronically no later than July 1, 2022. Th e inspection team will review this information and, by July 15, 2022, will request the specific it ems that should be provided for review.
The second group of additional requested documents will assist the inspection team in the evaluation of the critical systems and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs), defensive architecture, and the areas of the licensees CSP selected for the cybersecur ity inspection.
This information will be requested for review in the regional o ffice prior to the inspection by August 15, 2022, as identified above. The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the inspection team will review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have t his information available by the first day of the onsite inspection, August 29, 2022.
The fourth group of information is necessary to aid the inspect ion team in tracking issues identified as a result of the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the information is generated during the inspe ction. It is important that all of these documents are up to date and complete in order to minimiz e the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite po rtions of the inspection.
The lead inspector for this inspection is David Strickland. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Maria Groshner of your organizat ion. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 404-997-4440 or via e-mail at David.Strickland@nrc.gov.
This letter does not contain new or amended information collect ion requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budg et, control number 3150-0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not r equired to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requiremen t unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget cont rol number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemption s, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspec tion in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Docu ments Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,

Enclosure I. Information Requested for In-Office Preparation
The initial request for information (i.e., first RFI) concentra tes on providing the inspection team with the general information necessary to select appropria te components and CSP elements to develop a site-specific inspection plan. The first RFI is used to identify the list of critical systems and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs) plus operational and management (O&M) security control portions of the CSP to be cho sen as the sample set required to be inspected by the cyber-security IP. The fir st RFIs requested information is specified below in Table RFI #1. The Table RFI # 1 information is requested to be provided to the regional office by July 1, 2022, or sooner, to facilitate the selection of the specific items that will be reviewed during th e onsite inspection weeks.
The inspection team will examine the returned documentation fro m the first RFI and identify/select specific systems and equipment (e.g., CSs/CDAs) to provide a more focused follow-up request to develop the second RFI. The inspec tion team will submit the specific systems and equipment list to your staff by July 1 5, 2022, which will identify the specific systems and equipment that will be utilized to eva luate the CSs/CDAs, defensive architecture, and the areas of the licensees CSP sel ected for the cyber-security inspection. We request that the additional information provided from the second RFI be made available to the regional office prior to the inspe ction by August 15, 2022.
The required Table RFI 1 information shall be provided electron ically to the lead inspector by July 1, 2022. If a compact disk (CD) is provided, please provide four copies (one for each inspector/contactor). The preferred file f ormat for all lists is a searchable Excel spreadsheet file.
