Dear Sir or Madam:
On June 14, 2004 by reference 3, the NRC authorized the above captioned facilities (Entergy Nuclear South) to use PGP software Corporate Software Desktop version 8.0 for encryption and electronic transmission of SGI.
This letter provides notification that Entergy Nuclear South will begin using PGP Software Corporate Desktop Version 8.0.3 which was developed with PGP Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.0.3.
NIST Certificate Number 394 validates compliance of this software development tool with the FIPS 140-2 requirements.
CNRO 2004-00079 Page 2 of 3 In an October 4, 2004, letter NEI provided notification of the industry's intent to use PGP version 8.0.3. In a November 19, 2004, response to NEI the NRC authorized the use of PGP version 8.0.3 for processing SGI electronically. This meets the requirement that the NRC be notified 30 days before "first use" of new software.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mr. L. A. England at 601-368-5766. This letter includes no new commitments.
