• .e Document Control Desk 3 LR-N95055 Public Service Electric & Gas Company Affidavit Supporting Request to Withhold Documents from Public Disclosure I, Leon R. Eliason, being duly sworn, depose and state as follows:

1. I am Chief Nuclear Officer and President - Nuclear Business Unit, Public Service Electric and Gas Co., and as such, I am responsible for the review of the information referenced herein, sought to be withheld from public disclosure. I am submitting this affidavit in connection with the provisions of 10 C.F.R. § 2.790(b) of the Commission's regulations.

2. The information sought to be withheld constitutes information contained in personnel-type files and/or files utilized by Public Service Electric & Gas ("PSE&G") in making personnel decisions, and as such, would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

3. Also, it is PSE&G's position that another compelling reason for nondisclosure within the meaning of § 2.790(a) exists, in that, the information sought to be withheld constitutes a critical self-analysis undertaken for the purpose of improving corporate performance and was provided to the Commission voluntarily and in confidence. As such, disclosure could undermine the important public policy interest in the promotion of candid and unimpeded self-evaluation. Accordingly, it is PSE&G's view that the need for the information to be given confidential treatment outweighs the public's interest in disclosure in this instance.

4. The information in the Executive Summary and Appendix is of a type customarily held in confidence by PSE&G and, other than its disclosure to the Commission, is intended to be held in confidence and not disclosed to the public.

5. The information sought to be withheld is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence pursuant to the provisions of 10 C.F.R. § 2.790 with the understanding that it is to be received in confidence and withheld from public disclosure by the Commission. If the NRC is unable to grant PSE&G's request for withholding portions of the report, we request that the Attached documents be returned to us in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.790(c) and past NRC practice.
