Dear Sir or Madam:

In Reference 1, the NRC issued license Amendment No. 300 to the Renewed Facility Operating License for James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAF) that approved the JAF Cyber Security Plan and associated implementation milestone schedule. The Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule contained in Reference 2 was utilized as a portion the basis for the NRCs safety evaluation report provided by Reference 1. Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (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 (FOL) for JAF. The JAF 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 JAF to reference the commitment change provided in this submittal. Attachment 3 contains the proposed revised operating license pages. Attachment 4 contains a change to the scope of implementation milestone 6. Entergy requests that Attachments 1 and 4, which contains security-related information (SRI), be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390.

Attachments 1 and 4 contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information.

When separated from Attachments 1 and 4, this transmittal document is decontrolled.

SECURITY-RELATED INFORMATION - WITHHOLD UNDER 10 CFR 2.390 JAFP-12-0072 Page 2 of 3 contains security-related information (SRI), be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390.

The proposed changes have been evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (a)(1) using the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and it has been determined that the changes involve no significant hazards consideration. The bases for these determinations are included in .

Entergy requests this license amendment be effective as of its date of issuance. Although this request is neither exigent nor emergency, your review and approval is requested prior to December 31,2012.
