November 25, 2002 Mr. Calvin R. Hastings President and Chief Operating Officer Caldon, Inc.
1070 Banksville Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15216
SUBJECT:
CALDON, INC., REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NO. 3 (TAC NO. MB5297)
Dear Mr. Hastings:
By letter dated November 20, 2002, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., (the licensee) submitted a supplemental response to a request for additional information (RAI) from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 3 (IP3). The NRC staff requested the information in order to complete its review of the licensees application for an amendment regarding a 1.4% measurement uncertainty recapture power uprate. In its November 20 letter, the licensee included your letter and affidavit dated November 14, 2002, requesting that the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.790:
Clarification: Response to Question 5, Indian Point 3 RAI dated 8/26/02" A nonproprietary copy of this document has been placed in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Public Document Room and added to the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Public Electronic Reading Room.
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(a)
The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Caldon's competitors without license from Caldon constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(c)
Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.
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.
C. R. Hastings Therefore, the version of the submitted information 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, as amended.
Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents. If the need arises, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.
If the basis for withholding this information from public inspection should change in the future such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC. You also should understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information. In all review situations, if the NRC makes a determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-1457.
Sincerely,
/RA/
