SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITKKOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (CAW-96-970)
Dear Mr. Liparulo:
By letter d'ated May 31, 1996, Pacific Gas and Electric Company submitted WCAP-14617, "View Graph Presentation Material NRC/Industry Meeting of February 23, 1996 on Dented Tube Support Plate Indications and Structural Integrity," and requested that it be withheld fr'om public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.
A nonproprietary version (WCAP-14618) was also submitted for placement in the Public Document Room.
An affidavit dated May 28,
- 1996, from Westinghouse Electric Corporation, the owner of the information, was included in the application.
Westinghouse Electric Corporation states that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
"(a)
The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.)
where prevention of its use by any of Westinghous'e's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(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.
(d) It reveals aspects of past,
- present, or future Westinghouse or customer funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse."
We have reviewed your submittal and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of Westinghouse Electric p
Corporation statements, have determined that the submitted information sought p
to be withheld contains trade secrets or proprietary commercial information.
