Dear Mr. Feigenbaum:
SUBJECT:
SEABROOK STATION, UNIT NO. 1 - REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION
+
FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC M85020)
By your application dated November 15, 1992, you submitted a Yankee Atomic Electric Company (Yankee) report, YAEC-1855P, and requested that it be withheld, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790, from public disclosure.
The affidavit submitted with the application was incomplete.
In a letter dated March 30, 1993, you submitted a revised affidavit.
In the revised affidavit, the Yankee Vice President, Engineering Science, stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
4 (a) The material is of the type customarily held in confidence and not customarily disclosed to the public.
In accordance with a Yankee review process, information that is determined to be potentially marketable or provides a potential competitive advantage is held in confidence.
(b) The information is not available in public sources.
(c) Ti material contained in the report contains significant information and detail pertaining to the development of a methodology and/or data. This material, which is marketable in several ways, was obtained at considerable expense to Yankee. The public release of this information, making it readily available to competitors, would diminish-Yankee's -
ability to sell products and services involving the use of this information.
(e) The use of the information and data provided in this document by a competitor would put Yankee at a competitive disadvantage by reducing the competitor's expenditure of resources at the expense of vankee.
We heve reviewed your application and the material based on the requirement and criteria of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of Yankee Atomic Electric Company's statements, have determined that the information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or proprietary commercial information.
