' 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.

i Withholding from public disclosure shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents. If the need i 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 i appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information. l If the basis for withholding this information from public inspection should

change in the future such that the information could then be made available i for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC. You also should  ;

understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the l

! future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request l includes your information. In all review situations, if the NRC makes a ,

i determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any l l public disclosure.
