SUBJECT:

WITHHOLDING OF INFORMATION - LETTER OF INTENT TO SUBMIT COMBINED LICENSE APPLICATION FOR FUTURE UNIT(S) AT THE CALLAWAY PLANT SITE (TAC NO. MD2654)

Dear Mr. Naslund:

By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated July 12, 2006, AmerenUE submitted an affidavit dated July 13, 2006, executed by you requesting that the information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390(a)(4):

AmerenUE Plans for Submitting a Combined Construction Permit and Operating License application (COLA)

The affidavit stated, in part, that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

This information is of a type that is held in confidence by the Company, and there is a rational basis for doing so because the plans to develop one or more additional nuclear units at the Callaway Plant site have not been made public.

We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4) and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.

Therefore, the version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents. If the need arises, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.

C. Naslund If the basis for withholding this information from public inspection should change in the future such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC. You also should understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information. In all review situations, if the NRC makes a determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-1494.

Sincerely,

/RA/
