UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 11, 2019 Korey L Hosack, Manager Licensing, Analysis, & Testing Westinghouse Electric Company 1000 Westinghouse Drive Cranberry Township, PA 16066
SUBJECT:
U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION PROPRIETARY DETERMINATION LETTER FOR WCAP-18461-P (Draft) "COMMON Q PLATFORM ELIMINATION OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS" (EPID L-2019-TOP-0042)
Dear Mr. Hosack:
By letter dated October 30, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19305A503), Westinghouse Electric Company (Westinghouse) submitted WCAP-18461-P (Draft), "Common Q Platform Elimination of Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements." Also submitted was an affidavit dated October 30, 2019, executed by you. The affidavit requested that the information in the subject submittal be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 2.390 (10 CFR 2.390).
A nonproprietary copy of the report was not provided. In your letter, you indicated that the report was a draft topical report (TR) for the November 12, 2019, closed meeting and due to the extensiveness of the proprietary information in the TR, a non-proprietary version was not being provided. Although nonproprietary versions of TRs are not required by U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations, the NRC staff encourages a nonproprietary version when the formal submittal is made.
Westinghouse detailed the reasons for withholding in its affidavit.
The NRC staff has reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390. Based on the statements in the affidavit, the NRC staff has determined that the submitted information contains proprietary, commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
Therefore, the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure under 10 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, the agency may send copies of this information to its consultants working in this area. The NRC staff will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.
K. Hosack 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 staff.
You also should understand that the NRC staff 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 or require any additional information, please feel free to contact me at 301-415-7297 or by via electronic mail at ===..:.====-:.:..===-*
