Dear Mr. Hanson:

By letter1 to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated November 9, 2017, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) submitted an affidavit dated November 9, 2017, executed by Bryan P. Wright, Chief Financial Officer of Exelon, requesting that marked information contained in Attachment 1 be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 1O of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 O CFR) Part 2, Section 2.390. The letter and the nonproprietary version of Attachment 1 have been made publicly available.

The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure because "[p]ublic disclosure of this information would create substantial harm to the competitive position of Exelon by disclosing Exelon's internal financial projections to other parties whose commercial interests may be adverse to those of Exelon."

We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 1O CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements in the affidavit, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure. Therefore, the 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.

1 Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML17317A581 .

B. Hanson 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 301-415-1380.

Sincerely, Blake Purnell, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch Ill Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos.
