The proposed License Amendment Request includes the cyber security plan, proposed changes to Section 2.E. of the Facility Operating License No. NPF-30, proposed Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule, evaluation of the proposed change, and a summary of deviations between the Callaway Plant Unit 1 Cyber Security Plan and the cyber security plan template presented in NEI 08-09, Revision 6. The proposed cyber security plan has been submitted in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 73.54, Protection of digital computer and communication systems and networks.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of the Callaway Plant Unit 1 August 12, 2010 amendment request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license must fully describe the changes desired, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications.
