NRC's approval for the Duke Energy Cyber Security Plan which complies with the requirement of10 CFR 73.54.

In order to support review of the LAR, the NRC issued a request for additional information byletters dated February 8, 2011 (Reference 3) and March 16, 2011 (Reference 5). Duke Energyprovided the 30-day responses on March 7, 2011 (Reference 4) and April 15, 2011(Reference 6). On August 2, 2011, during a conference call between NRC and Duke Energyrepresentatives, the NRC requested that Duke Energy submit a proposed change to revise theFOL Physical Protection license condition to incorporate the language as agreed upon.

Attachments 1, 2, and 3 provide marked changes for Oconee Units 1, 2, and 3; McGuireUnits 1 and 2; and Catawba Units 1 and 2 respectively. No other changes have been made tothe previous submittals regarding the Cyber Security Plan.

There are no commitments associated with this submittal.

The information provided in this response does not impact the Significant Hazards Considerationconclusions provided in the August 16, 2010, submittal (Reference 2).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91, a copy of this proposed amendment is being provided to theappropriate officials of the States of North Carolina and South Carolina.

Part 70; is subject to all applicable provisions of the Act and to the rules, regulations, andorders of the Commission now or hereafter in effect; and is subject to the additionalconditions specified or incorporated below:

A. Maximum Power Level

The licensee is authorized to operate the facility at steady state reactor core powerlevels not in excess of 2568 megawatts thermal.

B. Technical Specifications

The Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A, as revised throughAmendment No. 376, are hereby incorporated in the license. The licensee shalloperate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications.

C. This license is subject to the following antitrust conditions:

Applicant makes the commitments contained herein, recognizing that bulk powersupply arrangements between neighboring entities normally tend to serve thepublic interest. In addition, where there are net benefits to all participants, sucharrangements also serve the best interests of each of the participants. Among thebenefits of such transactions are increased electric system reliability, a reduction inthe cost of electric power, and minimization of the environmental effects of theproduction and sale of electricity.

Any particular bulk power supply transaction may afford greater benefits to oneparticipant than to another. The benefits realized by a small system may beproportionately greater than those realized by a larger system. The relativebenefits to be derived by the parties from a proposed transaction, however, shouldnot be controlling upon a decision with respect to the desirability of participating inthe transaction. Accordingly, applicant will enter into proposed bulk powertransactions of the types hereinafter described which, on balance, provide netbenefits to applicant. There are net benefits in a transaction if applicant recoversthe cost of the transaction (as defined in ¶1 (d) hereof) and there is nodemonstrable net detriment to applicant arising from that transaction.
