UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 August 23, 2013 Mr. Ernie Harkness Site Vice President FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Perry Nuclear Power Plant P. O. Box 97, 10 Center Road, A-PY-A290 Perry, OH 44081-0097

SUBJECT:

INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION (PI&R) INSPECTION AT THE PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Dear Mr. Harkness:

This letter is to request information to support our scheduled PI&R inspection beginning November 4, 2013, at the Perry Nuclear Power Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Baseline Inspection Procedure 71152.

Experience has shown that these inspections are extremely resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and the utility staff. In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a list of documents required for the inspection.

The documents requested are copies of condition reports and lists of information necessary to ensure the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. The information requested prior to the inspection may be provided in either CD-ROM/DVD (preferred) or hard copy format and should be ready for NRC review by October 11, 2013.

If there are any questions about the material requested, or the inspection in general, please contact the lead inspector, Mr. John Jandovitz, at 630-829-9763 or john.jandovitz@nrc.gov.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, Control Number 3150-0011.

The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

E. Harkness In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
