SUBJECT:

PPL SUSQUEHANNA, LLC - REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. MD9040 AND MC9041)

Dear Mr. Holm:

By letter dated November 29, 2006, PPL Susquehanna, LLC (licensee) submitted an affidavit dated November 21, 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:

PLA-6136, B.T. McKinney (PPL) to Document Control Desk (USNRC),

Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Proposed License Amendment No. 279 for Unit 1 Operating License No. NPF-14 and 248 for Unit 2 Operating License NPF-22 ARTS/MELLLA [Averge Power Range Monitor/Rod Block Monitor/Technical Specifications/Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analysis]

Implementation Response to Request for Additional Information, dated November 29, 2006.

A nonproprietary copy of this document has been placed in the NRCs Public Document Room and added to the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Public Electronic Reading Room.

The affidavits stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

a. Use of the information by a competitor would permit the competitor to significantly reduce its expenditures, in time or resources, to design, produce, or market a similar product or service.

b. The information includes test data or analytical techniques concerning a process, methodology, or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage for AREVA NP.

We have reviewed your material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 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.

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 the 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, please contact me at 301-415-1030.

Sincerely,

/RA/
