.s U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 3F1096-16 Page 2 of 6 AFFIDAVIT OF P. M. Beard. Jr.
A.
My name is P. M.
Beard, Jr.
I am the Senior Vice President, Nuclear Operations for the Florida Power Corporation (FPC), and as such I am authorized to execute this affidavit.
B.
I am familiar with the criteria set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2.790 (10 CFR 2.790), to determine whether certain information of FPC is proprietary.
C.
The following information is provided to demonstrate that the provisions of 10 CFR 2.790 have been considered:
(i)
The information identified in Exhibit "A", which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, is owned by and has been held in confidence by FPC.
Copies of the document are clearly identified as proprietary.
In addition, should FPC transmit the information identified in Exhibit "A" to an external agency, the recipient will be requested to hold the information as proprietary, as FPC has requested the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to so do.
(ii)
FPC applied the following criteria in determining whether the information in Exhibit "A"
should be classified as proprietary.
Information may be classified as proprietary if one or more of these criteria are met:
- a. The information reveals data or material concerning FPC research or development plans or programs of present or potential competitive advantage to FPC.
- b. The use of the information by a competitor would decrease his expenditures, in time or resources, in designing, producing or marketing a similar product.
- c. The information consists of test data or other similar data concerning a process, method, or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage to FPC.
- d. The information reveals special aspects of a process, method, component or the like, the exclusive use of which results in a competitive advantage to FPC.
1 I
FPC has determined that the document listed in Exhibit "A", contains l
information which falls within one or more of the criteria enumerated above.
Exhibit "B",
which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, identifies which specific criteria apply to the document listed in Exhibit "A".

.the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission was made available in confidence with a request that the document and the information contained therein be withheld from public disclosure.
(iv) The information identified in Exhibit "A" is not available in the open literature and to the best of our knowledge is not known by current or potential domestic or foreign competitors of FPC.
(v)
Specific information with regard to whether public disclosure of the information in Exhibit "A" is likely to cause harm to FPC's competitive position, taking into account the value of the information to FPC; the amount of money or effort FPC expended developing the information; and the ease or difficulty with.which the information could be properly duplicated by others is given in Exhibit "B".
D.
I have personally reviewed the document listed on Exhibit "A" and have found that it is considered proprietary by FPC because it contains information which falls within one or more of..the criteria enumerated in Paragraph C.
The document identified in Exhibit "A" contains information which affords FPC an opportunity to obtain a competitive advantage over those who may wish to know or use the information contained therein.
