SUBJECT:

ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC. - REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR INDIRECT TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF LICENSES (TAC NOS. MC6185 THROUGH MD6185)

Dear Mr. Kansler:

By letters and affidavits dated October 31, 2007, and December 5, 2007, you requested that the information contained in the following documents be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390:

"Sensitivity Analysis (Proprietary Version)," attachment to the letter dated October 31, 2007 "Answer to RAI 2 & Updated Financial Projections (Proprietary Version)," attachment to the letter dated December 5, 2007 The information was contained in supplemental information provided by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO), in support of the previously submitted "Application for Order Approving Indirect Transfer of Control of Licenses," to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated July 30, 2007. A nonproprietary copy of these documents have been placed in the NRC's Public Document Room and added to the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Public Electronic Reading Room.

The affidavits stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

a. This information is of a type that is customarily held in confidence by ENO and there is a rational basis for doing so because the information contains sensitive financial information concerning projected revenues and operating expenses of ENO. b. Public disclosure of this information would create substantial harm to the competitive position of ENO by disclosing its internal financial projections.

We have reviewed your submittals and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure. Therefore, the version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents. If the need arises, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.

If the basis for withholding this information from public inspection should change in the future, such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC. You also should understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information. In all review situations, if the NRC makes a determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-1364.

Sincerely,

/RA/ Douglas V. Pickett, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch I-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos.50-003, 50-155, 50-247, 50-255, 50-271, 50-286, 50-293, 50-333, 72-7, 72-12, and 72-43
