SUBJECT:
WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY LLC, REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR BYRON STATION, UNIT NO. 2, AND BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNIT 2 (TAC MC8966, MC8967, MC8968 AND MC8969)
Dear Mr. Crane:
By letter dated February 15, 2007, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, submitted an affidavit dated February 8, 2007, executed by Mr. J. A. Gresham, requesting 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:
Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, LTR-CDME-07-13 P-Attachment,
?Response to NRC Request for Additional Information Related to the Application for Technical Specification Improvement Regarding Steam Generator Tube Integrity for Byron Units 1 and 2 and Braidwood Units 1 and 2 (TAC NOS.
MC8966, MC8967, MC8968, and MC8969), dated February 6, 2007 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 (ADAMS) Public Electronic Reading Room (ADAMS Accession No. ML070880464).
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(i)
The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse.
(ii)
The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not customarily disclosed to the public.
(iii)
The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390, it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.
(iv)
The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available information has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to the best of our knowledge and belief.
C. Crane 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 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 301-415-3733.
Sincerely,
/RA/
