SUBJECT:

PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION, UNIT NO.3: REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NOS. ME2360, ME2369, ME2370 AND ME2371)

Dear Mr. Pacilio:

By letter dated October 1,2009, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, submitted affidavits to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requesting that information previously submitted to the NRC as publically available now be withheld from the public as proprietary. The affidavits were submitted as follows:, dated September 24, 2009, executed by Mr. Andrew A. Lingenfelter, Vice President, Fuel Engineering, Global Nuclear Fuel - Americas, LLC (GNF-A), requesting that 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:

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 3 Reload 17, Cycle 18, Core Operating Limits Report., dated September 29,2009, executed by Mr. Andrew A. Lingenfelter, Vice President, Fuel Engineering, Global Nuclear Fuel - Americas, LLC (GNF-A), requesting that information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(a)4:

Core Operating Limits Report (COLR), Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 3 Reload 15 Cycle 16, Revision 2., dated September 29,2009, executed by Mr. Andrew A. Lingenfelter, Vice President, Fuel Engineering, Global Nuclear Fuel Americas, LLC (GNF-A), requesting that information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(a)4:

Core Operating Limits Report (COLR), Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 3 Reload 16 Cycle 17, Revision 3.

M. Pacilio

- 2, dated September 29,2009, executed by Mr. Andrew A. Lingenfelter, Vice President, Fuel Engineering, Global Nuclear Fuel - Americas, LLC (GNF-A), requesting that information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(a)4:

Core Operating Limits Report (COLR), Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 3 Reload 16 Cycle 17, Revision 4.

Non-proprietary copies of these documents have been placed in the NRC's 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:

(4)a Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by GNF-A's competitors without license from GNF-A constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.

(4)b Information which, if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product.

We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements in the affidavits and the information described above, 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 document. 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 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.
