UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, O. C. 20555 May 17, 1984 Docket No.

50-244 LS05-84-05-027 Hr. Roger H. Kober, Yice President Electric and Steam Production Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation 89 East Avenue Rochester, New York 14649

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR l!ITHHOLDING IhFORI~ATION FRON PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

'I Re:

R.

E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant By Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation's (RGEE) letter dated March 25, 1983, and affidavit dated August 26, 1982, information was submitted that was developed subsequent to the Design Review Board I!ecting of September 15 and 16,

1982, on RG8E steam generator (SG) sleeving program.

The letter stated that the information contained therein was proprietary to Babcox and Wilcox (B8W) and reauested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b).

BMi maintains that the information is considered proprietary because it contains information utilized by B8W in its business which affords it an opportunity to obtain and maintain a competitive advantage.

Further, specific information, if subjected to public disclosure is likely to cause harm to the competitive position of BSIt, taking into account the value of the information to B8W, the amount of effort or money expended by B8H in developing. the information, and the ease or difficultywith which the information could be properly duplicated by others.

He have reviewed your application and the material based on the requirements and criteria of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of BAH's statements and discussions with your staff have determined that a portion of the submitted information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or proprietary commercial information.

He have previously reviewed SG sleeving submittals for proprietary information and have agreed to withhold those proprietary portions from public inspection.

We have determined that all information contained within the subject categories of 1. Brazing and 4. Haterial Selection should be withheld from public,disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of

1954, as amended.

The remainder of the letter is considered non-proprietary.
