SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION The proposed license amendment request includes the proposed completion date change to an implementation schedule milestone of the Cyber Security Plan (Attachment 3) and a proposed revision to facility operating license physical protection license condition (Paragraph 2.E of Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-10 and NPF-15) as shown in Attachments 1 (Mark-Up pages) and 2 (Clean-Typed pages).

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION In Reference 1, the Cyber Security Plan (CSP) for Southern California Edison (SCE), San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), and associated implementation schedule were approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Because the Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule contained in References 2 and 3 was utilized as a portion of the basis for the NRC safety evaluation provided by Reference 1, and Reference 1 specifically stated that any changes to the NRC-approved CSP implementation schedule would require prior NRC approval pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, this proposed amendment request includes: 1) a proposed change to the existing facility operating license condition for the physical protection license condition to reference a deviation for the completion date for an implementation schedule milestone and 2) a proposed Revised Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule for the completion date of Implementation Milestone 8. Implementation Milestone 8 requires the full implementation of the SCE Cyber Security Plan for all Safety, Security and Emergency Preparedness (SSEP) functions (i.e., safety-related and important-to-safety functions, security functions, and emergency preparedness functions including offsite communications) I F_ 1. This change proposes a revision to the completion date of Implementation Milestone 8.

The Basis column for Implementation Milestone 8 (shown in Reference 2) included a reference that some remediation actions required a refueling outage to implement and included two notes, one concerning future refueling outage dates and the other concerning implementation of cyber-security improvements. These two notes and the reference to refueling outages have been deleted as they are no longer applicable as SONGS Units 2 and 3 are in a permanently defueled condition.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 Background In Reference 4, the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) transmitted to the NRC an implementation schedule template to aid compliance with the NRC's cyber security regulations codified in 10 CFR 73.54, which was acknowledged and accepted by the NRC in Reference 5. NEI engaged the industry in an effort to ensure that utilities submit an implementation schedule consistent with the template provided in Reference 4. SCE provided the requested Page E2-2

SCE proposes a revision to the Implementation Milestone 8 completion date of the SONGS Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule (Attachment 3). The current license condition requires SCE to fully implement the Cyber Security Plan F in accordance with the implementation schedule submitted with References 2 and 3. The proposed revised completion date for Implementation Milestone 8 of the Cyber Security Plan is I ]. In addition, the Basis for the Milestone has been revised to delete the reference to refueling outages and the two notes.

3.2 Discussion An NRC memorandum (Reference 6) provides eight criteria for the review of license amendment requests to revise the schedule for the Implementation Milestone 8 completion date. The following technical evaluation provides information concerning the eight criteria that explains the current status of the SONGS cyber security program and the need for the Implementation Milestone 8 completion date revision. The evaluation describes how prioritization of both the SONGS complete and planned implementation actions will provide assurance that digital computer and communication systems and networks are adequately protected against cyber attacks up to and including the design basis threat established by 10 CFR 73.1(a)(1)(v), until the full program is implemented.

While a single licensee-identified violation was listed in the inspection report, the NRC determined the violation to be of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process) and was treated as a non-cited violation. Inspection observations were entered into the SONGS CAP. An independent self-assessment of the program for Implementation Milestones 1 through 7 has recently been performed, and the final report should be issued to SCE within the next month.

SCE intends to enter into the SONGS CAP all identified findings and recommendations.

3.2.7 A Discussion of Cyber Security Issues Pending in the SCE Corrective Action Program (CAP) (Criterion 7)

SONGS uses the CAP to document cyber security issues to trend, correct, and improve the SONGS cyber security program. The CAP documents and tracks from initiation through closure, cyber security required actions including issues identified during on-going program assessment activities. Adverse trends are monitored for program improvement and addressed through the CAP process. Examples of resolved issues and activities pending in the CAP are:

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements and Criteria 10 CFR 73.54 requires licensees to maintain and implement a cyber security plan. San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), Units 2 and 3 Facility Operating Licenses include a physical protection license condition (Paragraph 2.E of the Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-10 and NPF-15) that requires Southern California Edison (SCE) to fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved cyber security plan, including changes made pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR 50.54(p).

4.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Southern California Edison (SCE) has evaluated whether a significant hazards consideration is posed by granting the license amendment requested. SCE has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration exists with the proposed change by addressing the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment," as discussed below:

1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed change to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule is administrative in nature. This change does not alter accident analysis assumptions, add any initiators, or affect the function of plant systems or the manner in which systems are operated, maintained, modified, tested, or inspected. The proposed change does not require any plant modifications which affect the performance capability of the structures, systems, and components (SSCs) relied upon to Page E2-11

Socurity R Iatod* Info-rmation Withol fr,"om Public P-Ic.o ure Under 10 CFIR 2.290 mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents, and has no impact on the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed change to the SONGS Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule is administrative in nature. This proposed change does not alter accident analysis assumptions, add any initiators, or affect the function of plant systems or the manner in which systems are operated, maintained, modified, tested, or inspected. The proposed change does not require any plant modifications which affect the performance capability of the SSCs relied upon to mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents, and does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No Plant safety margins are established through limiting conditions for operation limiting safety system settings, and safety limits specified in the technical specifications. The proposed change to the SONGS Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule is administrative in nature. Since the proposed change is administrative in nature, there is no change to these established safety margins. Therefore the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above evaluations, SCE concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c).

Accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

4.3 Precedent The proposed amendment is consistent with the amendment request submitted by Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation for the Wolf Creek Generating Station (NPF-42) dated January 23, 2014, and approved by the NRC as documented in the Safety Evaluation dated August 14, 2014 (Reference 10).

4.4 Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, Page E2-12

Socurity Rolatod Info~rmation -WAithhold- fromn Public- Diecplocsure Under 10 CFR 2390 and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) provides criteria for and identification of licensing and regulatory actions eligible for categorical exclusion from performing an environmental assessment. A proposed license amendment requires no environmental assessment provided that (i) the license amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, (ii)there is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, and (iii) there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

SCE has reviewed the proposed change and has determined that it meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant tol 0 CFR 51.22, no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the issuance of the proposed license amendment. The following is the basis for this determination:

(i) The amendment applications do not involve a significant hazards consideration, as described in the Significant Hazards Evaluation in Section 4.2 above.

(ii) There will be no significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluents released offsite. Effluent flow and flow-paths have been substantially reduced and will be reduced further in coming months. There will be no significant change in the types or increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite and the proposed license amendment does not involve irreversible environmental consequences beyond those already associated with the SONGS Final Environmental Statement and the Generic EIS on Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities (NUREG-0586, Supplement 1, 2002).

(iii) The amendment applications do not result in a significant increase to the individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure because the proposed change involves changes to the Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule, which are of administrative nature with no significant impact on occupational radiation exposure.

Therefore, the amendment applications do not result in a significant increase to the individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
