SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (EPID L-2020-LLA-0282)

Dear Mr. Hanson:

By letter dated December 12, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML19347A779), Exelon Generation Co., LLC (the licensee) submitted an affidavit executed by Gayle Elliott, Deputy Director, Licensing & Regulatory Affairs, Framatome Inc., dated December 6, 2019, requesting that the following document contained in Attachment 2 to the letter be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.390:

Report ANP-3799P, Revision 0, entitled, PROtectTM Lead Test Assemblies for Calvert Cliffs, dated December 2019.

A nonproprietary copy of the above document is provided as Attachment 3 to the licensees letter dated December 12, 2019.

The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

6.(b) Use of the information by a competitor would permit the competitor to significantly reduce its expenditures, in time or resources, to design, produce, or market a similar product or service.

6.(c) The information includes test data or analytical techniques concerning a process, methodology, or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage for Framatome.

We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, based on the statements in the affidavit, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.

Therefore, the version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

B. Hanson 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, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.

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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). You also should understand that the NRC 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 regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-2871 or by e-mail to Michael.Marshall@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
