Document Control Desk, USNRC Page 1 of 2 SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY Request to Withhold Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, a South Carolina corporation, hereby requests that Attachment 2 to the letter entitled "Future Generation Planning" dated August 16, 2005, be withheld from public disclosure due to its proprietary nature. The details of this request are provided in the following affidavit:

AFFIDAVIT I, Stephen A. Byrne, being duly sworn, depose and state as follows:

(1)

I am Senior Vice President of Generation and Chief Nuclear Officer, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) and have been delegated the function of reviewing the information described in paragraph (2) which is sought to be withheld, and have been authorized to apply for its withholding.

(2)

The information sought to be withheld consists of a statement concerning future generation planning.

This one-page document has the words "SCE&G Proprietary Information" on the bottom of the page.

(3)

In making this application for withholding of proprietary information of which it is "I

the owner, SCE&G relies upon the exemption from disclosure set forth in the NRC regulation 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4) for confidential financial information.

(4)

Justification for the request for withholding from public disclosure is provided by addressing the five items identified in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(4).

To the best of my knowledge and belief:

a.

This information is considered company confidential and has been held in confidence by SCE&G.

b.

This information is of the type customarily held in confidence by SCE&G and the rationale is that a premature release might provide information concerning activities which could materially affect the future financial condition of the company.

c.

This information is transmitted in confidence to the NRC and the purpose of this request is to maintain its confidentiality.

Document Control Desk, USNRC Page 2 of 2

d.

The statement concerning future generation planning is not available from public sources.

e.

Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld is likely to cause harm to SCE&G's competitive position. At the appropriate time, SCE&G will make the information public in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

This letter contains no restricted or other defense information.

I certify under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
