-FCUP:RLS 70-1151 Westinghouse Electric Corporation ATTN: Mr. Ronald P. DiPiazza, Manager NES License Administration P.' O. Box 355 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15230 Gentlemen:
By letter dated June 24, 1980, Reference WRD-LA-156, you transmitted a proprietary portion of the application of the same date for amendment of License SNM-1107, Docket 70-1151.
The proprietary information is given on pages 102,102a,102b,102c,102d,102e,102f, and 102g and is appropriately marked.
In the letter of June 24, 1980, Reference AW-80-33, you transmitted an application for withholding of the information submitted June 24, 1980, asking that the proprietary portion be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790 and providing an affidavit dated February 15, 1977.-
In the affidavit you provided your reasons for withholding this information and included the following:
l.
The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse.
2.
The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not customarily disclosed to the public. Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it.
3.
The proprietary information, for which protection is sought, represents a substantial investment by Westinghouse and has significant present and potential future value to Westinghouse, as it would to Westinghouse's competitors.
4.
Public disclosure of the infomation sought to be withheld is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse, taking into account the value of the infomation to Westinghouse, the amount of effort and money expended by Westinghouse in developing the information, and considering the ways in which the information could be acquired or duplicated by others.

Westinghouse Electric Corporation AUG 11 1980 5.
The information is not available in public sources to the best of Westinghouse's knewledge and belief.
We have reviewed your application and material based on the requirements and criteria of 10 CFR 2.790 and have determined that the above-mentioned document sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or confidential or privileged commercial or financial information.
We also have found at this time that the right of the public to be fully apprised as to the bases for and effects of the proposed licensing action does not outweigh the demonstrated concern for protection of your competitive position. Accordingly, we have determined that the information should be withheld from public disclosure.
We therefore approve your request for withholding pursuant to Section 2.790 of 10 CFR Part 2 and are withholding pages 102, 102a, 102b, 102c, 102d, 102e,
102f, and 102g of your application from public inspection as proprietary.
Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the document.
If the need arises, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, assure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary data.
Sincerely, Richard E. Cunningham, Director Division of Fuel Cycle and Material Safety
