SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLO WESTINGHOUSE AP600 DESIGN LETTER OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 t

j

Dear Mr. McIntyre:

1 1 .

By Westinghouse letter NSD-NRC-96-4864, dated October 28, 1996, you submitted i- Westinghouse material, as identified in the enclosure, that had been sent to I the staff via facsimile for the time period of September 23, 1996 to Octo-  !

ber 24, 1996. The facsimiles were submitted in draft form to expedite the '

! staff's review. Your letter stated that proprietary and non-proprietary versions of the material were provided via an enclosure.

j In your letter, you identify that information in the submittal is considered I

{

proprietary and request that it be withheld from public disclosure in accor-dance with 10 CFR 2.790. The attached affidavit (AW-96-1027 ,

{ on the same date, states that the designated information, own)ed and held inexecuted ,

{ confidence b {

j disclosure. y Westinghouse, should be considered exempt from mandatory public  !

5 The following reasons have been provided for your request:

! (a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse

> constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.

d (b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a

! process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the ap '

1 of which data secures a competitive economic advantage, e.g., by plication optimization or improved marketability. '

j (c)

Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or i

improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, of licensing a similar product.

! We have reviewed your submittal and the material in accordance with i

10 CFR 2.790, and on the basis of Westinghouse's statements, have determined f i

that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or f i I 4 proprietary commercial information. Therefore, we have determined that the proprietary material enclosed in NSD-NRC-96-4864, which is marked as propri- / i etary, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) U,[/h 4

i and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. However,  !

you did not submit a non-proprietary version of the proprietary material in j your non-proprietary submittal. You removed the pages that you consider j

proprietary without indicating in the non-proprietary version the pages were' missing. You are requested to submit a complete non-p'roprietary version of your October 28, 1996, enclosure within 30 days of the date of this41etter.

Further, the staff can not protect information that'was 'ent s by Westinghouse via facsimile from interception during transmittal. .

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 disclosure 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 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 withheld 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:
