SUBJECT:

INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING SAFETY CONSCIOUS WORK ENVIRONMENT FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION AT THE PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT

Dear Mr. Vitale:

This letter is to request information to support our scheduled Safety Conscious Work Environment (SCWE) Follow-up Inspection beginning December 8, 2014, at your Palisades Nuclear Plant. This inspection will be performed in accordance with NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 93100 and will examine in more depth the SCWE-related issues that were identified during a Problem Identification and Resolution focused inspection that was documented in Inspection Report 2014009.

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 condition reports (CRs) and lists of information necessary to ensure the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. The information requested prior to the inspection may be provided in either CD-ROM/DVD (preferred) or hard copy format and should be ready for NRC review by November 21, 2014.

The requested information can be provided to Mr. Alex Garmoe, the Lead Inspector.

If there are any questions about the material requested, or the inspection in general, please contact Mr. Garmoe at 269-764-8971 or Alex.Garmoe@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.

A. Vitale In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 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 System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,
