Draft Revision February 27, 2015 C.1 Application Format & Content
- 9. PART 9 - Withheld Information Part 9 of an application for a combined license (COL), standard design certification (DC), or early site permit (ESP) under 10 CFR Part 52 contains the information considered by the applicant to be sensitive unclassified1 non-safeguards2 information (SUNSI), or other unclassified information required to be withheld from public inspection. As provided at §2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, application information may be made available to the public at the NRC Web site http://www.nrc.gov or at the NRC Public Document Room absent an NRC determination for withholding the information. Accordingly, the applicant should redact from other parts of the application all information requested to be withheld from public disclosure and include such information in Part 9 for review by the NRC.
The information in Part 9 may include commercial trade secrets, financial data, proprietary information, state/local governmental agency sensitive information (e.g., emergency plans), and security-related information not designated as Safeguards or classified information. For the information requested to be withheld, the applicant shall comply with the provisions of §2.390 at the time of application submittal, including specific identification and marking of the documentation and any applicable affidavit requirements. For example, consistent with NRC guidance in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2005-26, applicants are not required to provide an affidavit for sensitive information withheld under 10 CFR 2.390(d) and related to (1) physical protection or (2) material control and accounting (ADAMS Accession number ML051430228).
The Part 9 contents should be logically organized and presented in a manner supportive of an efficient review. Accordingly, Part 9 should include the following:
- 1) Introductory statement(s) relative to §2.390 (e.g., This Part 9 of the application contains the proprietary, sensitive, and security-related information that is to be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390.)
- 2) Table of contents that clearly identifies the redacted information and the specific application part/chapter/section from which the information was redacted.
- 3) Description of the marking convention used throughout the application and whether it is consistent with §2.390(b)(1) (e.g., triple brackets - (({}, square brackets - [ ], or other appropriate designation) to identify the information redacted and to explain the absence of the information at its source location in the application. This should include header and footer page designations, if used.
1 National Security Information and Restricted Data are addressed at 10 CFR Part 25Access Authorization. Pursuant to § 50.33(j), the application shall be prepared in such manner that all Restricted Data and other defense information is separated from the unclassified information 2 Safeguards Information, as defined at §73.2, Definitions, is addressed at §73.21, Protection of Safeguards Information: Performance Requirements, and §73.22, Protection of Safeguards Information: Specific Requirements.}}
