UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 March 26, 2020 Ms. Shawn Lamb Engineering Manager Industrial Nuclear Company, Inc.
3901 Castle Hayne Road Wilmington, NC 28401
SUBJECT:
GENERAL ELECTRIC HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY AMERICAS, LLC REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (EPID NO. L-2019-LLA-0168)
Dear Ms. Lamb:
By letter dated July 31, 2019, General Electric Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC submitted an affidavit, executed by you, requesting that the information contained in the following documents be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390:
Amended Sections and Pages for NEDE-33866P GE2000 SAR, Revision 4 The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(1) Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by GEH's competitors without license from GEH constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies; (2) Information that, if used by a competitor, would reduce their expenditure of resources or improve their competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product; (3) Information that reveals aspects of past, present, or future GEH customer-funded development plans and programs, resulting in potential products to GEH; (4) Information that discloses trade secret and/or potentially patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent protection.
We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
S. Lamb Therefore, 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.
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 301-415-6877.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Chris Allen, Project Manager Storage and Transportation Licensing Branch Division of Fuel Management Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Docket No.: 71-9228 EPID NO. L-2019-LLA-0168
