The attached certified financial statement contains proprietary information. PPL therefore, requests that this information be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR &sect;9.17(a)(4) and the policy reflected in 10 CFR &sect;2.390, as described in my enclosed Affidavit.
Because PPL pays all fees and assessments for itself and Allegheny Electric Cooperative, Inc.,
only PPL should be invoiced for the annual fee.

AFFIDAVIT OF BRITT T. McKINNEY I, Britt T. McKinney, Senior Vice President & Chief Nuclear Officer of PPL Susquehanna, LLC (PPL), do hereby affirm and state:
: 1.       I am an officer of PPL 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.       PPL is providing information pursuant to 10 CFR 140.21(e), which constitutes proprietary financial information that should be held in confidence by the NRC pursuant to the policy reflected in 10 CFR &sect;&sect; 2.390(a)(4) and 9.17(a)(4), because:
: i.      This information is and has been held in confidence by PPL.
ii. This information is of a type that is held in confidence by PPL, and there is a rational basis for doing so because the information contains sensitive financial information concerning PPL's projected revenues and operating expenses.
iii. This information is being transmitted to the NRC in confidence.
iv. This information is not available in public sources and could not be gathered readily from other publicly available information.
: v.      Public disclosure of this information would create substantial harm to the competitive position of PPL by disclosing PPL's internal financial projections to other parties whose commercial interests may be adverse to those of PPL.
: 3.       Accordingly, PPL requests that the designated documents be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to the policy reflected in 10 CFR &sect;&sect; 2.390(a)(4) and 9.17(a)(4).
