UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 February 19, 2015 Mr. Timothy S. Rausch Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer PPL Susquehanna, LLC 769 Salem Boulevard Berwick, PA 18603-0467

SUBJECT:

SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1AND2-ACCEPTANCE OF REQUESTED LICENSING ACTION RE: CHANGES TO THE CYBER SECURITY PLAN IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE (TAC NO. MF5357 AND MF5358)

Dear Mr. Rausch:

By letter dated December 2, 2014, 1 PPL Susquehanna, LLC (the licensee), requested a license amendment regarding the implementation schedule for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 (SSES) Cyber Security Plan. The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this license amendment request (LAR). The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required.

This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

By letter dated February 3, 2015, 2 the NRC staff identified several informational needs that were necessary to enable the staff to make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed LAR in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. By letter dated February 12, 2015, 3 you provided a supplement to your submittal.

The NRC staff has found the supplement responsive to the staff's cited information needs, and concludes that the application and supplemental information provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review. If additional information is needed for the NRC staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.
