April 8, 2004 Mr. J. A. Gresham Manager of Regulatory Compliance and Plant Licensing Westinghouse Electric Company LLC P.O. Box 355 Pittsburgh, PA 15230-0355
SUBJECT:
TXU GENERATION COMPANY, LP, REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NO. MC0197)
Dear Mr. Gresham:
By letter dated January 21, 2004, TXU Generation Company, LP, submitted the affidavit CAW-03-1710 dated January 16, 2004, executed by Mr. J. A. Gresham, you requested that the information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.790 (currently Section 2.390):
WCAP-15918-P, Revision 01, "Steam Generator Tube Repair for Combustion Engineering and Westinghouse Designed Plants with 3/4 Inch Inconel 600 Tubes Using Leak Limiting Alloy 800 Sleeves."
A nonproprietary copy of this document has been placed in the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) 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)
Westinghouse plans to sell the use of similar information to its customers for purposes of meeting NRC requirements for licensing documentation.
(b)
Westinghouse can sell support of Alloy 800 sleeve installation.
(c)
The information requested to be withheld reveals the distinguishing aspects of a methodology which was developed by Westinghouse.
We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 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 version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(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 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, Westinghouse 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 301-415-1476.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Mohan C. Thadani. Senior Project Manager, Section 1 Project Directorate IV Division of Licensing Project Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-445 and 50-446 cc: See next page
