UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555*0001 February 26, 2009 Mr. Ross T. Ridenoure Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Southern California Edison Company San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station P.O. Box 128 San Clemente, CA 92674-0128
SUBJECT:
SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION UNITS 2 AND 3 REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NO. MD9160 AND MD9161)
Dear Mr. Ridenoure:
By letter dated February 5, 2009, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Southern California Edison (the licensee, SCE) submitted an affidavit dated February 3, 2009, executed by Mr. M. J. Gancarz of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Westinghouse), as an enclosure to the letter dated February 3, 2009, from Mr. J. A. Gresham of Westinghouse, 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:, Response to Requests for Additional Information Regarding Amendment Application Numbers 252 and 238, Replacement Steam Generators, San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3, dated February 5, 2009 A nonproprietary copy of this document has been placed in the NRC Public Document Room and added to the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Public Electronic Reading Room (ADAMS Accession No. ML090400654).
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(b)
It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.
(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 the statements in the affidavit, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
R. 1. Ridenoure
- 2 Therefore, the version(s) 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 301-415-1480.
Sincerely, l~
