VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE CYBER-SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000424/2022401; 05000425/2022401
VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT - CYBER SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000424/2022401 AND 05000425/2022401


==Dear Mrs. Gayheart:==
==Dear Ms. Gayheart:==
On June 27, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10 Cyber-Security, Revision 0, at your Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. The inspection will be performed to evaluate and verify your ability to provide assurance that your digital computer and communication systems and networks associated with safety, security, or emergency preparedness (SSEP) functions are adequately protected against cyber-attacks in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 73.54 and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved cyber security plan (CSP). The onsite portion of the inspection will take place during the week of June 27, 2022.
On June 30, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant and discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Rob Norris and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.


Experience has shown that baseline inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. 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.
No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified during this inspection.


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 electronically no later than April 29, 2022. The inspection team will review this information and, by May 13, 2022, will request the specific items that should be provided for review. 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 licensees CSP selected for the cyber-security inspection. We request that the information provided from the second RFI be made available to the regional office prior to the inspection by June 17, 2022. 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, June 27, 2022.
This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.


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 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.
Sincerely, Signed by McCoy, Gerald on 08/04/22 Gerald J. McCoy, Chief Engineering Br 2 Division of Reactor Safety Docket Nos. 05000424 and 05000425 License Nos. NPF-68 and NPF-81


The lead inspector for this inspection is Philipp Braaten. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Kevin Walden of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (404) 997-4651 or via e-mail at Philipp.braaten@nrc.gov.
===Enclosure:===
As stated


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.

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 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 (O&M) security control portions of the CSP to be chosen as the sample set required to be inspected by the cyber-security IP. 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 April 29, 2022, 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 May 13, 2022, 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 June 17, 2022. All requests for information shall follow the guidance document U.S. NRC - Guidance Document for Development of the Request for Information (RFI)
