The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(a)
Information which discloses process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by lnvensys's competitors without license or contract from Invensys constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies in the industry.
(b)
Information, which if used by competitors, would reduce their expenditure of resources or improve their competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, application, installation, assurance of quality, or
- licensing of a similar product.
(c)
Information which reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Invensys, its customers, its partners, or its suppliers.
(d)
Information which reveals aspects of past, present, or future Invensys customer-funded development plans or programs, of potential commercial value to Invensys.
(e)
Information which* discloses patentable subject matter for which it may b~
desirable to obtain patent production.
(f)
Information obtained through Invensys actions which could reveal additional insights into nyclear equipment qualification proces.ses, customer applications, and regulatory proceedings, and which are riot otherwise readily obtainable by a competitor.
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.
Therefore, the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 1 O 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 301-415-1564.
