UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE RD. SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 July 18, 2016 Mr. Peter A. Gardner Site Vice President Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Northern States Power Company, Minnesota 2807 West County Road 75 Monticello, MN 55362-9637 SUBJECT: INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION (PI&R) INSPECTION AT MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT Dear Mr. Gardner:

This letter is to request information to support our biennial PI&R inspection beginning September 19, 2016, at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) baseline Inspection Procedure 71152. Experience has shown that these inspections are extremely resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and the utility staff. In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a list of documents required for the inspection. The documents requested are copies of performance reports and lists of information necessary to ensure the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. The documents should be provided in compact disc format and should be ready for NRC review by August 26, 2016. Mr. Nirodh Shah, the Lead Inspector, will contact your staff to determine the best method of providing the requested information. If there are any questions about the material requested, or the inspection in general, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail Mr. Shah at 630-829-9821 or nirodh.shah@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.

B. Hanson -2- In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 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 (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS).
