-Docket Nos. 50-498 and 50-499 Mr. N. J. Liparulo Manager of Nuclear Safety and Regulatory Activities Westinghouse Electric Corporation P. O. Box 355 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15230-0355

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (CAW-94-583)

By letter dated March 16, 1994, Houston Lighting & Power Company submitted the Westinghouse report, "Setpoint Program Determination for the Westinghouse Cold Overpressure Mitigating System in the Houston Lighting & Power South Texas Project Units 1 & 2, Revision 2," WCAP-13782, Revision 1, and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.

An affidavit dated February 10, 1994, from Westinghouse, the owner of the information, was included in the application. Westinghouse states that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

"b.

It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse'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."

We have reviewed your submittal and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of Westinghouse's statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or proprietary commercial information.

Therefore, we have determined that the document entitled "Setpoint Program Determination for the Westinghouse Cold Overpressure Mitigating System in the Houston Lighting & Power South Texas Project Units 1 & 2, Revision 2," marked as proprietary will 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.
