1. AmerenUE Letter ULNRC-05663, "Request for Approval of the Callaway Plant Cyber Security Plan (License Amendment Request LDCN 09-0041)," dated November 19,2009
2. AmerenUE Letter ULNRC-05674, "Supplement to License Amendment Request LDCN 09-0041 for Approval of the Cyber Security Plan (TAC No. ME2663)," dated January 21,2010 By letter dated November 19,2009 (Reference 1) Union Electric Company (dba AmerenUE) submitted a request for amendment of the facility Operating License for Callaway, including a request for approval of the Callaway Cyber Security Plan. The license amendment request was derived from the model application provided in NEI 08-09, "Cyber Security Plan for Nuclear Power Reactors," Revision 3, dated September 2009.

Included with the Reference 1 letter were three enclosures. Enclosure 1 provided a description and an evaluation of the proposed license amendment. It included its own attachments wherein Attachment 1 provided a marked-up page from the Callaway Operating License containing the License Condition that would be modified by the amendment, and Attachment 2 provided re-typed pages to reflect that modification.

a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation

ULNRC-05711 June 9, 2010 Page 2 Enclosure 2 provided the Callaway Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule.

Enclosure 3 provided the proposed Callaway Cyber Security Plan itself.

The November 19,2009 application was supplemented by a follow-up letter dated January 21,2010 (Reference 2) in which Enclosure 1 ofthe November 19,2009 application was partially replaced (superseded) due to the revision of text within the No Significant Hazards Consideration evaluation. The attachments contained within the original Enclosure 1 were unchanged and thus were not provided with the Reference 2 letter.

In the Reference 1 letter for the application, it was noted that Enclosure 3 (the Cyber Security Plan) contained sensitive information. As such, it was noted that Enclosure 3 should be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390.

Although it was pointed out that Enclosure 3 was the document containing sensitive information, every page in the Reference 1 cover letter, as well as in all three enclosures, contained a footer and header consisting ofthe words, "Security-Related Information - Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390." Thus, the entire submittal was required to be withheld from public disclosure.

As the NRC staff is currently reviewing the amendment application, AmerenUE has been asked to submit a version ofthe November 19, 2009 application that is not required to be withheld from public disclosure (except for Enclosure 3). This is consistent with what was intended since only Enclosure 3 contained security-related/sensitive information.

In response to that request, the November 19,2009 application is hereby being supplemented by resubmitting a copy of several portions of the application as attachments to this letter. In particular, exact copies of the cover letter, the attachments provided with Enclosure 1, and all of Enclosure 2 are provided, except that the noted headers and footers have been removed. The documents are thus not identified as being required to be withheld from public disclosure. Enclosure 3 is not included since it has already been provided and is still intended to be withheld from public disclosure. The portion of Enclosure 1 exclusive of its attachments is also not provided since that portion was provided in the Reference 2 letter and was not requested to be withheld from public disclosure.

This supplement provides no new or additional information, does not change any of the evaluations contained in the November 19,2009 application (or in the Reference 2 letter), and contains no new or additional commitments.
