ME4952, ME4953, ME4954, ME4955, ME4956, ME4951 AND ME4958)

Dear Mr. Krich:

By letters dated July 23, 2010, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted a request for approval of the Cyber Security Plans based on Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document NEI 08-09, Revision 6, for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2 and 3, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, and Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. In these letters, TVA requested that the information contained in Enclosures 2 that provide Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedules, and Enclosures 3 that describe Cyber Security Plans, of the letters dated July 23, 2010, be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390, because it contains sensitive information.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed your applications and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains sensitive information and should be withheld from public disclosure.

Therefore, Enclosures 2 and 3 of the letters dated JUly 23, 2010, marked as "Security-Related Information - Withhold under 10 CFR 2.390," will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390 and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents. If the need arises, the NRC staff may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. The NRC staff will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling sensitive security-related information.

If the basis for withholding this information from public inspection should change in the future such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, TVA should promptly notify the NRC.

R. Krich -2 TVA also should understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information.

In all review situations, if the NRC makes a determination adverse to the above, TVA will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.

If you have any questions, please contact Siva P. Lingam at 301-415-1564.

Sincerely,

'" ~.y~
