SUBJECT:
SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 CORRECTION LETTER RE: REPLACEMENT PAGES FOR ISSUED AMENDMENT NOS. 255 AND 235 FOR CYBER SECURITY PLAN (TAC NOS. ME4420 AND ME4421)
Dear Mr. Rausch:
By letter dated July 22,2010, as supplemented by letter dated April 4, 2011, PPL Susquehanna, LLC (the licensee), requested an amendment to the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), Units 1 and 2, Renewed Facility Operating License (FOL) Nos. NPF-14 and NPF-22, to include: (1) the proposed SSES Units 1 and 2 Cyber Security Plan (CSP), (2) an implementation schedule, and (3) a proposed sentence to be added to the existing renewed FOL Physical Protection license condition for SSES Units 1 and 2 requiring PPL Susquehanna, LLC, to fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved SSES Units 1 and 2 CSP as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 73, Section 73.54, "Protection of digital computer and communication systems and networks."
By letter dated July 21,2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML11152A009), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment Nos. 255 and 235 to the FOLs.
Because of an inadvertent error, Page 19 for SSES Unit 1 and Page 15 for SSES Unit 2, provided with the letter dated July 21,2011, did not match with the pages from the NRC record copies of the Renewed FOLs.
The enclosures to this letter provide corrected Pages 19 and 20 for SSES Unit 1 and Page 15 for SSES Unit 2.
T. S. Rausch -2 Please contact me, if you have any questions regarding this correction letter.
Sincerely, Bhalchandra K. Vaidya, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch 1-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-387 and 50-388
