UNITED NUCLEAR REGULATORY WASHINGTON, D.C.

November 12, Mr. Dave Baxter Vice President, Oconee Site Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC 7800 Rochester Highway Seneca, SC 296,72 OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1,2, AND 3, REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE REGARDING REACTOR PROTECTIVE SYSTEM/ENGINEERED SAFEGUARDS PROTECTIVE SYSTEM DIGITAL UPGRADE (TAC NOS. MD7999, MD8000 AND MD8001)

Dear Mr. Baxter:

By letter dated June 19, 2009, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, submitted affidavits dated May 8, 2009, May 13, 2009 (2), June 8, 2009, and June 17, 2009 (2), executed by Mark J. Burzynski, Manager, Product Licensing, AREVA NP Inc., requesting 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: AREVA NP document 51-5052804-10, Oconee Nuclear Station 1,2 & 3 RPS/ESFAS Controls Upgrade -Component Arrangement Specification AREVA NP document 51-9006444-009, Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, & 3 RPS/ESFAS Controls Upgrade Software Configuration Management Plan AREVA NP document Operating Instruction 01-1457-08, TELEPERM XS Software Quality Assurance Plan AREVA NP document Operating Instruction 01-1585-02, TXS System-Hardware Configuration Management Plan AREVA NP document 51-9113322-000, Oconee Nuclear Station Unit 1 RPS/ESFAS Controls Upgrade Software V&V Final Report Reactor Protective System/Engineered Safeguards Protective System Digital Upgrade, Technical Specification Change Number 2007-09, Supplement

17. Enclosure 7, Evaluation of Proposed Technical Specification Change, of Supplement 17 D. Baxter -2 The affidavits stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons: (a) Use of the information by a competitor would permit the competitor to significantly reduce its expenditures, in time or resources, to design, produce, or market a similar product or service. (b) The information includes test data or analytical techniques concerning a process, methodology, or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage for AREVA NP. (c) The information reveals certain distinguishing aspects of a process, methodology, or component, the exclusive use of which provides a competitive advantage for AREVA NP in product optimization or marketability.

We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements in the affidavits, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.

Therefore, the aforementioned documents marked as proprietary, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(5) and Section 1 03(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 Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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.

D. -If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-1345.
