Enclosure 2 provides an affidavit for withholding proprietary inforniation from public disclosure. Enclosure 3 provides the non-proprietary version ofthe content provided in Enclosure 1.

Since Enclosure 1 contains information identified as proprietary to Framatome, Inc., it is supported by an affidavit signed by a representative of the owner of the information. The affidavit sets forth the basis on which the information may be withheld from public disclosure by the Commission and addresses with specificity the considerations listed in paragraph (b)(4) of 1 0 CFR 2.390. Accordingly, it is respectfully requested that the proprietary information be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.3 90.

The supplemental information provided in Enclosure 1 to this letter has no impact on the changes requested and described in the LAR. As such, the supplemental information does not change the No Significant Hazards Consideration conclusions reached in the LAR, nor do they change the conclusion regarding no need for an environmental assessment based on the categorical exclusion provisions of 10 CFR 51.22.

Further, this submittal does not contain new commitments.

In accordance with the Callaway Operating Quality Assurance Manual, the Onsite Review Committee has reviewed and approved the proposed changes and has approved the submittal of this supplement to the amendment request.
