SUBJECT:

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 , INFORMATION REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION 2201/004 INSPECTION

, NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM "INSPECTION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERIM CYBER SECURITY MILESTONES 1 - 7"

Dear M r. Davison:

O n June 2, 2014, the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a n inspection of Temporary Instruction (TI) 2201/004 at you r Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2 (PINGP). The TI inspection will be performed to evaluate and verify your ability to meet the interim milestone requirements of the NRC's Cyber Security Rule , Title 10 , Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 73, Section 54, "Protection of Digital Computer and Communication Systems and Networks."

In accordance with 10 CFR 73.54, each nuclear power plant licensee was required to submit a proposed Cyber Security Plan (CSP) and implementation schedule for NRC approval. On December 14, 2009, by letter (ML093080517) to the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), the NRC provided their expectations for the proposed implementation schedule. On January 5, 2011, by letter (ML11006009

3) to the NRC, NEI issued an initial "Template for the Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule" (ML110060097). On February 28, 2011, by letter (ML110600206) to the NRC, NEI provided a revised "Template for the Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule." Th e purpose of th e letter's attachment was to provide the licensee with a generically written template to develop their proposed CSP implementation schedule

. Utilization of the generic template require d the licensee to make conforming changes to ensure the submitted schedule accurately account ed for site-specific activities. Based on an NRC technical review (ML110070348), the template was found acceptable to develop the licensees' CSP implementation schedule (i.e., Milestones 1 through 8). On July 20, 2010, by letter (ML112091571

) to the NRC

, Xcel Energy provided the CSP Implementation Schedule

. On April 1, 201 1 , by letter (ML110940095) to the NRC, Xcel Energy provided revised Milestone 1 through 7 date changes for the CSP Implementation Schedule that account ed for the site-specific activities

. On May 26, 2011, by letter (ML111460481

) to the NRC, Xcel Energy submitted for approval their CSP, Revision

4. On July 29, 2011, by letter (ML11187A231

), the NRC issued Amendment Nos. 202 (for Unit 1) and 189 (for Unit 2), which approved the PINGP CSP and associated implementation schedule.

In addition, both plant amendment s revised K. Davison the existing facility operating license s regarding physical protection to require the station to fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the NRC

-approved CSP.

On August 11, 2011 , by letter (ML112220090), the NRC provided a correct ed page 4 f or the licensee's PINGP, Unit 2, Amendment No.

189 regarding their CSP. The subject TI inspection provides a programmatic level review and verification of the licensee's site

-specific implementation of Interim Milestones 1 through 7. The schedule for the onsite TI Inspection for the Interim Milestones 1 through 7 is as follows:

Information Gathering Visit

Ma y 19 - 2 3, 201 4; and Cyber Security T I Inspectio n: June 2 - 6 , 2 01 4. The purpose of the information gathering visit is to: (1) obtain information and documentation needed to support the TI inspection; (2) become familiar with your Cyber Security Program and plant layout; and (3) arrange administrative details, such as office space, availability of knowledgeable office personnel and to ensure unescorted site access privileges.

In order to assure a productive TI inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed to ensure that the inspectors are adequately prepared.

These documents have been divided into four groups. The first group lists information necessary to aid the inspectors in planning for the TI inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector via mail or electronically no later than Ma y 9 , 2 01 4. The second group also lists information and possible areas for discussion necessary to assist the inspectors during the TI inspection. It is requested this information be available during the information gathering visit (Ma y 19 - 23 , 201 4). The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the inspectors will review, or need access to, during the TI inspection. Please have this information available by the first day of the onsite inspection week (June 6 , 201 4). The fourth group lists the information necessary to aid the inspectors in tracking questions and answers identified as a result of the TI inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the information is generated during the TI 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 TI inspection

. The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. George M. Hausman. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection i s Ms. Ingrid Nordby of your organization. If there are any questions about the TI inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (6 30) 829-9 7 43 or via e-mail at George.Hausman@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

.

K. Davison In accordance with Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 2, Section 390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading
