UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 June 17, 2013 Mr. Joseph Plona Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Detroit Edison Company Fermi 2 - 210 NOC 6400 North Dixie Highway NEWPORT, MI 48166

SUBJECT:

FERMI POWER PLANT, UNIT 2 NOTIFICATION OF A NRC INSPECTION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERIM CYBER SECURITY MILESTONES 1 - 7; TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION 2201/004; AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR INSPECTION REPORT NUMBER 05000341/2013406

Dear Mr. Plona:

On September 23, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin an inspection of Temporary Instruction (TI) 2201/004 at your Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2. The TI inspection will be performed to evaluate and verify your ability to meet the interim milestone requirements of the NRCs 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 (ML110060093) 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. The purpose of the letters attachment was to provide the licensee with a generically written template to develop their proposed CSP implementation schedule. Utilization of the generic template required the licensee to make conforming changes to ensure the submitted schedule accurately accounted 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 March 30, 2011, by letter (ML110890953) to the NRC, Detroit Edison provided a revised CSP and implementation schedule that accounted for the site-specific activities. On July 28, 2011, by letter (ML111920221), the NRC issued an amendment that approved the Fermi Power Plant CSP and associated implementation schedule. In addition, the amendment revised the existing facility operating license condition regarding physical protection to require the station to fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the NRC-approved CSP.

J. Plona The subject TI inspection provides a programmatic level review and verification of the licensees 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: September 9 - 13, 2013; and Cyber Security TI Inspection: September 23 - 27, 2013.

The purpose of the information gathering visit is to: (1) obtain information and documentation needed to support the TI inspection; (2) become familiar with the Fermi Power Plant Cyber Security Program and plant layout; and (3) arrange administrative details, such as office space, availability of knowledgeable 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 August 23, 2013. 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 (September 9, 2013). 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 (September 23, 2013). 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 Dr. Stuart Sheldon. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. Joe Pendergast of your organization. If there are any questions about the TI inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829 9727 or via e-mail at stuart.sheldon@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.

J. Plona In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS).

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading rm/adams.htm (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
