AFFIDAVIT OF ROBERT G. BYRAM I, Robert G. Byram, Sr. Vice President-Generation / Chief Nuclear 0;ficer of PP&L, Inc. ("PP&L"), do hereby affirm and state:

1. I am an officer of PP&L authorized to execute this affidavit on its behalf. I am further authorized to review information submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and apply for the withholding of information from disclosure.

2. PP&L requests that the document attached hereto ("PP&L Response") be withheld from public disclosure under the provisions of 10 C.F.R. 2.790(a)(4) and (a)(6).

3. The PP&L Response contains the results of intemal investigabve activities that constitute confidential commercial iiJoiTristion that should be withheld under 10 C.F.R. 2.790(a). _.

4. This information has been held in confidence by PP&L. To the extent that PP&L has shared this information with others, it has done so on a need to know basis.

5. There is a rational basis for holding this information in confidence.

Confidential treatment of such information encourages frank and open intomal investigations.

6. Disclosure of the document would result in the details of this intemal investigation being revealed. Such disclosure would adversely affect the future effectiveness of the Company's ability to investigate potential wrongdoing by its employees.

7. The employees interviewed did not expect publication of the results of their interviews to the public.

8. Individual employees would be reluctant to candidly discuss matters with the Auditing Department and other individuals conducting investigation which would in tum undermine the employees' trust in PP&L's intomal auditors and other investigators. The credibility of the Company's investigative process would also be diminished. As a result, the govemment's ability to obtain similar information in the future would be impaired. Such disclosure would have a chilling effect on future investigations.

9. The PP&L Response also invclves personal and privacy issues, the disclosure of which could unreasonably harm individual employees.

11. Public disclosure of this information would cause substantial harm to the competitive position of PP&L, because such information could be used by others to harm it and thereby gain a competitive advantage over it.
