Nathan,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. Based on your email, this is my understanding of Duke Energy’s

CBI claim. Please respond to this email to confirm whether this is correct.

Allen

Worksheet tab SE04643A2

‐ AS: CBI claim withdrawn

Worksheet tab RC: remains CBI

Belews Creek

Worksheet tab SE04643A3

‐ BC: CBI claim withdrawn

Worksheet tab COMBINED BELEWS CREEK: remains CBI

Ron,

I have not been online this week and I do not have the actually submission. The only files I have on my

computer are the files with the updated information.

The excel files submitted in March of 2014 for both Belews and Allen contained two worksheets. One

worksheet with the coal data (sulfur content, mine location, etc.) and one worksheet that contained

refined coal and fuel additive application rates. Duke Energy is not claiming the coal data information as

confidential, but is continuing to claim the refined coal and fuel additive application rates as

confidential.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, if you need us to re

‐ submit the March 2014

submittal with the confidential removed, please let me know.

Thanks,

Nathan Craig

Nathan,

I’m very confused. I don’t recall you ever submitting this new data, nor with it claimed as CBI. In the call,

I was referring to the data you submitted in March 2014. That submission included coal data for

2/1/2009

‐ 12/31/2013 at Allen and 2/1/2008

‐ 12/31/2013 at Belews Creek. Since the data included I

those files seemed to be the same as more recent data you submitted which was not claimed

confidential, I’m asking whether Duke Energy still considers it necessary to claim these two files as

confidential business information (CBI).

Ron,

As a follow up to your call, I confirmed that we do not have an issue releasing the coal analysis. We

would like to maintain CBI on the refined coal and fuel additive application rates. This information may3 be protected under our NDA agreements. The refined coal and fuel additive application rates were

presented in tab “RC” for Allen and tab “Combined Belews Creek”.

I have attached the coal analysis with the confidential claim removed and with the omission of the

refined coal and fuel additive application rates.

Please let us know if you have any questions,

Thank you,
