UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE RD. SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 April 21, 2016 Mr. Scott Northard Acting Site Vice President Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Northern States Power Company, Minnesota 1717 Wakonade Drive East Welch, MB 55089

SUBJECT:

INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION (PI&R) INSPECTION AT PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2

Dear Mr. Northard:

This letter is to request information to support our biennial PI&R inspection beginning June 6, 2016, at the Prairie Island 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 May 16, 2016.

Mr. Rob Murray, 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. Murray at (309) 654-2227 or robert.murray@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.

S. Northard In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs 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 NRCs Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA Nick Shah for/
