1. I have reviewed the information contained in letter L-2017-097 and this affidavit that is sought to be withheld, and am authorized to execute this affidavit on behalf of Florida Power & Light Company.

2. The information sought to be withheld is information on an intended subsequent license renewal application (SLRA) for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4.

3. This intended SLRA information is being provided voluntarily by Florida Power &

Light Company solely for the NRC's planning and budgeting purposes.

4. This information constitutes proprietary commercial and financial information that should be held in confidence by the NRC under 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4) and 10 CFR 9.17(a)(4), because:

a. This information is and has been held in confidence by Florida Power & Light Company;

c. This information is being provided to the NRC in confidence with the expectation of non-disclosure;

d. This information is not available in public sources and cannot be gathered readily from other publicly-available information; and

e.

In addition, public disclosure of this information would create harm to Florida Power & Light Company regarding: i) the financial implications of its long-range resource planning, such as transmission and/or pipeline needs, and; ii) its interface with state and local government agencies, and with the general public, regarding on-going discussions and proceedings involving site utilization if this information is
