SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDINGINFORMATIONFROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (TAC NO. MA4432)
Dear Mr. Pellet:
By letter dated December 23, 1998, Carolina Power & Light (CP&L) submitted an amendment request to expand the spent fuel storage capacity at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant by placing spent fuel pools 'C'nd 'D'nto service.
By letter dated March 15, 1999, CP8 L supplemented their December 23, 1998, request, by providing Revision 3 if both the proprietary and non-proprietary versions of the Holtec report HI-97160, "Licensing Report for Expanding Storage Capacity in Harris Spent Fuel Pools C and D." Revision 3 was submitted to reflect a reduction in the amount of information designated as proprietary and did not change the substantive information and data provided in Revision 2 of the reports submitted on December 23, 1998.
Included in CP&L's March 15, 1999, submittal, was your affidavit dated February 18, 1999, requesting that the proprietary version of Revision 3 of the Holtec Report be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790. The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(a)
Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by Holtec's competitors without license from Holtec international constitutes a competitive advantage over the other companies; (b)
Information which, if used 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 of a similar product; (c)
Information which reveals aspects of past, present, or future Holtec International customer-funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Holtec International; (d)
Information which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent protection.
We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
