Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328 Mr. N. J. Liparulo, Manager Nuclear Safety and Regulatory Activities Westinghouse Electric Corporation P.O. Box 355 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15230-0355
Dear Mr. Liparulo:
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE -
SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. M84959 AND M84960)
By letter dated November 18, 1992, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted Westinghouse document WCAP-13532, "Sequoyah Units 1 and 2 W* Tube Plugging Criteria For SG Tubesheet Region of Wextex Expansions" dated November 1992 as Proprietary Information, and affidavit CAW-92-376 dated November 17, 1992.
TVA requested that the information be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.
Westinghouse stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use l
by any of Westinghouse *s competitors without license from Westinghouse l
constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
l (b)
It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a i
process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.
(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.
l (d)
It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or l
customer funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.

Mr. N. J. Liparulo We have reviewed the application and the material based on the requirements and criteria 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, the version of the submitted information 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.
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 NRC. You should 1so understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, such as, 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.
Sincerely, Original signed by 3
