Great Bay Power Corporation submitted additionalinformation related to Great Bay's petition for partial reconsideration of the NRC's January 22,1997, exemption through its attorneys Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge by letters dated June 4 and 16,1997. The i June 4 letter included your affidavit dated June 3,1997, requesting that certain financial Information included in Exhibit I of the June 4 letter be withheld from public disclosure l_ pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.

In the affidavit, you indicated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

(1) Great Bay holds in confidence revenue and cash flow projections as well as projected sales price information and cash outlays for the cost of generating-electricity; 4

(2) The materialis of the type customarily held in confidence by Great Bay and is not customarily disclosed to the public; (3) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is not available in public sources; and (4) The information is commercially sensitive, and if available to others could place 1 Great Bay at a significant competitive disadvantage in future sales negotiations and cause substantial commercial harm.

We have reviewed your application and the material based on the requirements and criteria of _10 CFR 2.790, and, on the basis of Great Bay Power Corporation's statements, have determined that the information sought to be _ withheld contains trods secrets or proprietary commercial information.=

Therefore, Exhibit I to your letter dated June 4,1997, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
