By Order dated March 19, 20091, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) clarified that the balance-of-plant equipment within a nuclear power plant is subject to compliance with the FERC approved Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Reliability Standards. Paragraph 50 of the Order provides for an exception from the CIP Reliability Standards for equipment in the balance-of-plant that is subject to the NRC cyber security regulations. Pursuant to paragraph 50 of the Order, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has been engaging in a Bright-Line determination process (Reference 1) to clarify the systems that would be subject to the NRC cyber security rule (10 CFR 73.54), and those that would be subject to the CIP Reliability Standards.

Dear Sir or Madam:

By Order dated March 19, 20091, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) clarified that the balance-of-plant equipment within a nuclear power plant is subject to compliance with the FERC approved Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Reliability Standards. Paragraph 50 of the Order provides for an exception from the CIP Reliability Standards for equipment in the balance-of-plant that is subject to the NRC cyber security regulations. Pursuant to paragraph 50 of the Order, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has been engaging in a Bright-Line determination process (Reference 1) to clarify the systems that would be subject to the NRC cyber security rule (10 CFR 73.54), and those that would be subject to the CIP Reliability Standards.

As documented in our response to the Bright-Line survey, balance-of-plant SSCs in Attachment 1 of the survey are important-to-safety, and thus, are within the scope of 10 CFR 73.54.

In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 73.54 (b)(1), a comprehensive identification of SSCs subject to the requirements of 10 CFR 73.54 will be developed during the implementation of the cyber security program. The program is implemented in accordance with the schedule submitted to the NRC by letter dated July 15, 2010 (JAFP-1 0-0075) with JAF's Cyber Security Plan. This identification of SSCs will be available for inspection upon completion and will contain, at a minimum, those SSCs as identified in Attachment 1 of the Bright-Line Survey. Providing the requested information in this alternate manner satisfies the intent of the NERC letter.
