As stated in the meeting notice dated September 12, 2011 (Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 112500517), the meeting was closed to the public since the information to be discussed had previously been determined to contain proprietary commercial information and be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 as stated in the NRC letter dated August 19, 2011 (ML 112270380).

As part of the NRC staff's review of the proposed merger between Exelon Corporation and Constellation Energy Group, Inc.
