SUBJECT:

SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE CYBER-SECURITY BASELINE SECURITY INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000400/2020412

Dear Ms. Hamilton:

On January 27, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline inspection at your Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10P Cyber-Security, dated May 17, 2017.

The inspection will be performed to evaluate and verify your ability to meet the Milestone 8 (i.e., 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 January 27, 2020, and February 10, 2020.

Experience has shown that baseline 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 IP. This information should be made available via secure site (i.e., Sharepoint, Certrec) no later than December 2, 2019.

The inspection team will review this information and, by December 13, 2019, will request the specific items that should be provided for review.

Enclosure(s) transmitted herewith contain(s) SUNSI. When separated from enclosure(s),

this transmittal document is decontrolled.

LIMITED INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION PERMITTED OFFICIAL USE ONLY - SECURITY RELATED INFORMATION

OFFICIAL USE ONLY - SECURITY RELATED INFORMATION T. Hamilton 2 This 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 the sites cyber security program selected for the inspection. This information should be made available via secure site (i.e., Sharepoint, Certrec) no later than December 31, 2019.

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, January 27, 2020.

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 Jonathan Montgomery. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Charles Yarley of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 404-997-4880 or via e-mail at jonathan.montgomery@nrc.gov.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will not be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

Sincerely,
