Change 1. Relocation of the Joint Information Center from the 7 to the 15 floor of the Alliant Tower.
Note: Relocation of the JIG requires an evaluation to document there is no change in functionality of the JIC and that the new facility does not decrease the capability to disseminate information to the public. _

(1) Space for members of an NRG site team and Federal, State, and local responders; (2) Additional space for conducting briefings with emergency response personnel; (3) Communication with other licensee and offsite emergency response facilities; (4) Access to plant data and radiological Information; and (5) Access to copying equipment and office supplies.
The primary function of the Joint Information Center {JIG) Is to establish a coordinated means to disseminate information related to a NPP event to public officials, the news media, and Industry public relations forums. To that end the JIG is to provide accurate and timely Information to the public and !he news media; coordinate press statements and news media briefings with focal, state and federal public relations officials; coordinate Information with the Corporate Communications Department; and provide DAEC employees with Information consistent with that released to the media. In recent years the additional responsibility to coordinate the family care line has been absorbed by the JIG.
The JIG consists of two functional areas located In the Alllant Tower, Cedar Rapids, IA. The first functional area is the auditorium located on the 61h floor, which Is used for a press briefing room. The briefing room will remain on the 61h floor and no additional functional changes are being made.
The second functional area of the JIG is the workln~ area. The working area is presently on the 7'h floor of the Alliant Tower and is being relocated to the 15 h floor. This Is where the DAEC JIG Manager and Spokesperson work with corporate, local, state, and federal public relations officials to prepare and distribute press releases, Identify and determine how best to correct rumors or misinformation, and prepare for press conferences. DAEC loglstlc personnel support the distribution of approved written and electronic materials, ensures staffing of the JIC, and staffing of the family care line. Technical personnel track and report the status of plant conditions and answer technical questions. Media monitors track what the media is reporting over television and radio and identify rumors and misinformation. PIO support personnel provide support directly to Public Information Officers.
The new 15th floor DAEC JIG work area and Public Information Office (PIO) area will be of similar size to that provided on the 7'h floor. There is no reduction In JIC positions or the number of personnel to support the functions of the JIC. There is no reduction in communications capabilities in the JIC. Additional network access is being provided. Current JIG furniture, phones, faxes, copier, and equipment will be utilized. Several new and replacement televisions have been purchased. Therefore, the relocation of the JIG from the 7'h floor to the 151h floor of the Alliant Tower will maintain equivalent functionality with no reduction In the time It takes to conduct the business In the JIG working area.

Floor Plan, and Subsection 2.4 Joint Information Center After the move, the EOF and JIG will share a NRG /FEMA work area that has phone and television access. The Media Rumor Conttol room will be slightly larger and will maintain the capablllty to track what the media is saying on television and radio. Corporate Communications will maintain the ability to track and address social media information. The PIO room will have additional televisions so the PIOs i can better track local and national news and several interior windows have been added to physically and visually connect the PIO Room with the DAEC Work Area. The Logistic Coordinator will now be physically part of the DAEC Work Area and can better support the JIG Manager. Two separate small private rooms have also been provided to answer Family Care calls and to coordinate distribution of call requests with Corporate services.
As there Is no reduction in the size of the JIC, communication capabilities, or staffing, the primary functions of the JIG will be maintained. Those functions include: provide accurate and timely Information to the public and the news media, coordinate press statements and news media briefings with local, state and federal public relations officials, coordinate information with the Corporate Communications Department, and to provide for the family care of DAEC employees. Maintaining the functionality of the JIG will ensure a more effective event response.
