\.....p'2 July 15,1999 Mr. Michael J. Egan, Chairman AmerGen Energy Company, LLC 965 Chesterbrook Blvd ,630-3 Wayne, PA 19087-5691

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 (TMI-1) (TAC NO. MA3307)

Dear Mr. Egan:

By your letter dated March 4,1999, and affidavit dated March 4,1999, you submitted Supplemental Information in Support of Proposed License Transfer and Conforming Administrative License Amendments and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.

The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

i. The information contained in this letter is and has been held in confidence by AmerGen.

ii. This information is of a type that is customarily held in confidence by AmerGen, and there is a rational basis for doing so because the information contains sensitive commercial information concerning the financial and capitalization of PECO Energy Company (PECO), one of the principal owners of AmerGen.

iii. This information is being transmitted to the NRC in confidence.

iv. This information is not available in public sources and could not be gathered readily from other publically available information.

v. Public disclosure of this information would create substantial harm to the competitive position of AmerGen and PECO by disclosing sensitive commercial information about PECO's plans for the use of the proceeds from the issuance of its transition bonds to other parties whose commercial interests may be adverse to those of AmerGen or PECO.

We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.

Therefore, the letter dated March 4,1999, Supplementalinformation in Support of Proposed License Transfer and Conforming Administrative License Amendments, marked as proprietary, 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, us amended.
