March 2, 2006 Mr. B. F. Maurer, Acting Manager Regulatory Compliance and Plant Licensing Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC P.O. Box 355 Pittsburgh, PA 15230-0355
SUBJECT:
WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY, LLC, REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 (BVPS-1 AND 2) (TAC NOS.
Dear Mr. Maurer:
By letter dated December 2, 2005, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC or the licensee) submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) an affidavit dated December 1, 2005, executed by yourself. 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 2.390:
FENOC-05-163 P-Attachment, Response to NRC RAI [request for additional information]
Question No. 2 (May 26, 2005, Second-Round RAI Questions), Responses to a Request for Additional Information (RAI dated November 1, 2005) in Support of License Amendment Request Nos. 302 and 173' (Proprietary)
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 the prevention of its use by any of Westinghouses competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive 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 2.390 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted
B. F. Maurer 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 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 301-415-1402.
Sincerely,
/RA/
