NOTIFICATION OF TI-186 INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION

REPORT 05000498, 499/2013405) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Koehl:

From July 9 to July 10, 2013, inspectors from the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC)

Region IV office will be onsite to perform the Temporary Instruction (TI) 186, Inspection of

Procedures and Processes for Responding to Potential Aircraft Threats. In order to minimize

the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a

request for documents needed for this 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 inspection. Also, in order to

demonstrate compliance with TI-186, we ask that you have the necessary staff members

available to the inspection team to assist in any plant walk-throughs, interviews and/or simulator

demonstrations.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand

that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Ms. Robin Savage of your licensing

organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please

contact the lead inspector Sean Hedger at (817) 200-1556 (Sean.Hedger@nrc.gov) or Theresa

Buchanan at (817) 200-1503 (Theresa.Buchanan@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.

D. Koehl -2-
