SUBJECT:        JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR
                THE CYBER-SECURITY BASELINE SECURITY INSPECTION,
                NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000348/2019013;
                05000364/2019013
Dear Mr. Kharrl:
On August 12, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline
inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10P Cyber-Security,
Revision 0 at Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The inspection will be performed to
evaluate and verify your ability to meet the Milestone 8 (i.e., full implementation) 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. The onsite portion
of the inspection will take place during the weeks of August 12, 2019, and August 26, 2019.
Experience has shown that baseline inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the
NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site
and to ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for
documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided into four groups.
The first group specifies information necessary to assist the inspection team in choosing the
focus areas (i.e., sample set) to be inspected by the cyber-security IP. This information should
be made available via secure site (i.e., Sharepoint, Certrec) no later than June 10, 2019.
The inspection team will review this information and, by July 1, 2019, will request the
specific items that should be provided for review.
The second group of additional requested documents will assist the inspection team in the
evaluation of the critical systems and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs), defensive architecture,
and the areas of the licensees CSP selected for the cyber-security inspection. This information
will be requested for review via secure site (i.e., Sharepoint, Certrec) before July 15, 2019.
The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the inspection team will
review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the
first day of the onsite inspection, August 12, 2019.
 
C. Kharrl                                            2
The fourth group of information is necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues
identified as a result of the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the
lead inspector as the information is generated during the 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.
The lead inspector for this inspection is David Strickland. We understand that our regulatory
contact for this inspection is Gene Surber of your organization. If there are any questions about
the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 404-997-4440 or
via e-mail at David.Strickland@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.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding,
of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will not be available
electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly
Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

I.    Information Requested for In-Office Preparation
      The initial request for information (i.e., first RFI) concentrates on providing the inspection
      team with the general information necessary to select appropriate components and CSP
      elements to develop a site-specific inspection plan. The first RFI is used to identify the
      list of critical systems and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs) plus operational and
      management (O&M) security control portions of the CSP to be chosen as the sample
      set required to be inspected by the cyber-security IP. The first RFIs requested
      information is specified below in Table RFI #1. The Table RFI #1 information is
      requested to be provided by, June 10, 2019 or sooner, to facilitate the selection of the
      specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection weeks.
      The inspection team will examine the returned documentation from the first RFI and
      identify/select specific systems and equipment (e.g., CSs/CDAs) to provide a more
      focused follow-up request to develop the second RFI. The inspection team will submit
      the specific systems and equipment list to your staff by July 1, 2019, which will identify
      the specific systems and equipment that will be utilized to evaluate the CSs/CDAs,
      defensive architecture, and the areas of the licensees CSP selected for the cyber-
      security inspection. We request that the additional information provided from the second
      RFI be made available by July 15, 2019. All requests for information shall follow the
      guidance document ML17156A215 referenced above.

  be indexed and hyper-linked to facilitate ease of use. If you have any questions
  regarding this information, please call the inspection team leader as soon as possible.
