Dear Sir or Madam:
The purpose of this letter is for the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) to request an amendment to Facility Operating License (FOL) DPR-46 for Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) to revise the Physical Protection license condition as it relates to the cyber security plan.

UPON SEPARATION FROM THESE ATTACHMENTS, THE COVER LETTER AND REMAINDER OF DOCUMENT ARE DECONTROLLED.
