SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION DOCKET NO. 50/395 Request to Withhold Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, a South Carolina corporation, hereby requests that to the letter entitled "Guarantee of Payment of Deferred Premiums" dated April 1, 2005, be withheld from public disclosure due to its proprietary nature. The details of this request are provided in the following affidavit:

AFFIDAVIT I, Jeffrey B. Archie, being duly sworn, depose and state as follows:

(1) I am Vice President, Nuclear Operations, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) and have been delegated the function of reviewing the information described in paragraph (2) which is sought to be withheld, and have been authorized to apply for its withholding.

(2) The information sought to be withheld consists of portions of the 2005 Projected Cash Flow that is included in Attachment 2 to SCE&G's April 1, 2005 letter to the NRC entitled "Guarantee of Payment of Deferred Premiums". Attachment 2, a one-page document, has the words USCE&G Proprietary Information" on the bottom of the page.

(3) In making this application for withholding of proprietary information of which it is the owner, SCE&G relies upon the exemption from disclosure set forth in the NRC regulation 10 CFR 2.790(b)(1) for confidential financial information.

(4) Justification for the request for withholding from public disclosure is provided by addressing the five items identified in 10 CFR 2.790(b)(4).

To the best of my knowledge and belief:

a. This information is considered company confidential and has been held in confidence by SCE&G.

b. This information is of the type customarily held in confidence by SCE&G and the rationale basis is that it would provide an unfair advantage to competitors if it were disclosed.

Document Control Desk, USNRC L-99-0359 RC-05-0053 Page 2 of 2

c. This information is transmitted in confidence to the NRC and the purpose of this request is to maintain its confidentiality.

d. The 2005 projected cash flow information is not available from public sources.

e. Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld is likely to cause harm to SCE&G's competitive position and reduce the availability of profit-making opportunities.

This letter contains no restricted or other defense information.

I certify under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
