SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1, AND H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT UNIT NO. 2 (TAC NOS. MF5080 AND MF5158)

Dear Mr. Frisco:

Prior to a Category 1 partially closed meeting held on November 12, 2014, between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff and representatives of Duke Energy Progress, Inc. (the licensee), regarding a proposed license amendment request for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, and the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant Unit No. 2, you provided an affidavit dated November 3, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 15180A039).

You requested in your affidavit that the information contained in the following presentation be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Co.de of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390: DPC-NE-2005 Appendices for Robinson and Harris Nuclear Plants A nonproprietary copy of this presentation has been placed in the NRC Public Document Room and added to the NRC Library under ADAMS Accession No. ML 14308A347.

The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons: (i) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned by Duke Energy and has been held in confidence by Duke Energy and its consultants. (ii) The information is of a type that would customarily be held in confidence by Duke Energy. The information consists of analysis methodology details, analysis results, supporting data, and aspects of development programs, relative to a method of analysis that provides a competitive advantage to Duke Energy. (iii) The information was transmitted to the NRC in confidence and under the provisions of 0 CFR 2.390, it is to be received in confidence by the NRC. (iv) The information sought to be protected is not available in public to the best of our knowledge and belief.

J. Frisco, Jr. 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 affidavit, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains propriety 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.

J. Frisco, Jr. If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-2760 or Martha. Barillas@nrc.gov.
