SUBJECT: SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2

INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE CYBER-SECURITY INSPECTION

NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000387/2018403 AND

05000388/2018403

Dear Mr. Rausch:

On October 15, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a team

inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10P Cyber-Security, issued

May 15, 2017 at your Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 (Susquehanna).

The inspection will be performed to evaluate and verify your ability to meet full implementation

requirements of the NRCs Cyber-Security Rule, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),

Part 73, Section 54, Protection of Digital Computer and Communication Systems and

Networks. The onsite portion of the inspection will take place during the weeks of

October 15-19, 2018, and October 29 - November 2, 2018. Experience has shown that team

inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee

staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive

inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for the

inspection. These documents have been divided into four groups.

The first group specifies information necessary to assist the inspection team in choosing the

focus areas (i.e., sample set) to be inspected by the cyber security Inspection Procedure. This

information should be made available via compact disc and delivered to the regional office no

later than July 23, 2018. The inspection team will review this information and, by

August 20, 2018, will request the specific items that should be provided for review.

The second group of additional requested documents will assist the inspection team in the

evaluation of the critical systems and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs), defensive architecture,

and the areas of your plants Cyber Security Program selected for the cyber security inspection.

This information will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection by

September 17, 2018.

The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the inspection team will

review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the

first day of the onsite inspection, October 15, 2018.

T. Rausch 2

The fourth group of information is necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues

identified as a result of the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the

lead inspector as the information is generated during the inspection. It is important that all of

these documents are up to date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional

documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the inspection.

The lead inspector for this inspection is Jigar Patel. We understand that our regulatory contact

for this inspection is Mr. Charlie Manges of your organization. If there are any questions about

the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 610-337-5188 or

via e-mail at Jigar.Patel1@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.

This letter and its enclosure will be available for public inspection and copying at

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRCs Public Document Room in

accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely,

/RA/

I. Information Requested for In-Office Preparation

The initial request for information (i.e., first RFI) concentrates on providing the inspection

team with the general information necessary to select appropriate components and

Cyber Security Program (CSP) elements to develop a site-specific inspection plan.

The first RFI is used to identify the list of critical systems and critical digital assets

(CSs/CDAs) plus operational and management (O&M) security control portions of the CSP

to be chosen as the sample set required to be inspected by the cyber security IP. The first

RFIs requested information is specified below in Table RFI #1. The Table RFI #1

information is requested to be provided to the regional office by July 23, 2018, or sooner, to

facilitate the selection of the specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection

weeks. All requests for information shall follow the Table RFI #1 and the guidance document

referenced above.

The required Table RFI #1 information shall be provided on compact disc (CD) to the lead

inspector by July 23, 2018. Please provide four copies of each CD submitted (i.e., one for

each inspector/contractor). The preferred file format for all lists is a searchable Excel

spreadsheet file on a CD. These CDs should be indexed and hyper-linked to facilitate ease

of use.

If you have any questions regarding this information, please call the inspection team leader

as soon as possible.
