UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, O.C. 20555-0001 February 1, 2016 Mr. Regis T. Repko Senior Vice President Governance, Projects and Engineering Duke Energy Corporation Mail Code EC07H P.O. Box 1006 Charlotte, NC 28201-1006

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2 AND SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1 (CAC NOS. MF7112 AND MF7113)

Dear Mr. Repko:

By letter dated November 19, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession (ADAMS) No. ML15323A351 ), you submitted an affidavit that you executed on November 19, 2015, 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) Section 2.390:

DPC-NE-3008-P, 'Thermal-Hydraulic Models for Transient Analysis" (Proprietary)

A nonproprietary copy of this document has been placed in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Public Document Room and added to the NRC Library in ADAMS.

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

4.(ii)(a) The information requested to be withheld reveals distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.)

whose use by a vendor or consultant, without a license from Duke Energy, would constitute a competitive economic advantage to that vendororconsulta~.

4.(ii)(c) Use by a competitor of the information requested to be withheld would reduce the competitor's expenditure of resources, or improve its competitive position, in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation assurance of quality or licensing of a similar product.

R. Repko 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 affidavit, 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 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.

R. Repko If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at (301) 415-2760 or Martha.Barillas@nrc.gov.
