SUBJECT: JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT- INFORMATION
REQUEST FOR THE CYBER SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION,
NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000333/2023401
Dear David Rhoades:
On October 23, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline
inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10, Cyber Security, dated
December 14, 2021, at FitzPatrick. The inspection will be performed to evaluate and verify your
ability to meet the requirements of the NRCs Cyber Security Rule, Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 73, Section 54, Protection of Digital Computer and
Communication Systems and Networks. The onsite portion of the inspection will take place
October 23 through 27, 2023.
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 IP 71130.10. This information should be
made available either on an online repository (preferred) or digital media (CD/DVD) no later
than July 14, 2023. The inspection team will review this information and, by August 18, 2023,
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 the licensees 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 15, 2023, as identified above.
D. Rhoades 2
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 23, 2023.
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 Louis Dumont. We understand that our regulatory
contact for this inspection is Steven Juravich of your organization. If there are any questions
about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (610) 337-
5183 or via email at louis.dumont@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.
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 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). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

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 security control portions of the CSP to
be chosen as the sample set required to be inspected by the cyber security inspection
procedure. 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 14, 2023, or sooner, to facilitate the selection of the specific items that will be
reviewed during the onsite inspection weeks.
The inspection team will examine the returned documentation from the first RFI and
identify/select specific systems and equipment (e.g., CSs/CDAs) to provide a more
focused follow-up request to develop the second RFI. The inspection team will submit
the specific systems and equipment list to your staff by August 18, 2023, which will
identify the specific systems and equipment that will be utilized to evaluate the
CSs/CDAs, defensive architecture, and the areas of the licensees CSP selected for the
cyber security inspection. We request that the additional information provided from the
second RFI be made available to the regional office prior to the inspection by
September 15, 2023.
