April 20, 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, REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NO. 2 (TAC NO. MC8427)
Dear Mr. Maurer:
By letter dated April 11, 2006, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO or the licensee) submitted an affidavit dated March 15, 2006, executed by yourself. You requested that the information contained in Attachment 1 of the licensees April 11, 2006, letter, "Additional Information For Proposed Technical Specification Change Regarding Use of ASTRUM for LBLOCA [Large-Break Loss-of-Coolant Accident] Analysis (Proprietary Version)," be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.390.
A nonproprietary version of this document submitted as Attachment 2 to the licensees letter 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 (among others):
a.
The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
b.
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 provided by Westinghouse Electric Company, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
B. Maurer 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 301-415-2901.
Sincerely,
/RA/
