November 13, 1996 Mr. Brian A. McIntyre, Manager Advanced Plant Safety and Licensing Westinghouse Electric Corporation Energy Systems Business Unit P.O. Box 355 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15230-0355
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE F WESTINGHOUSE AP600 DESIGN LETTER OF OCTOBER 9, 1996
Dear Mr. McIntyre:
By Westinghouse letter NSD-NRC-96-4835, dated October 9, 1996, you submitted a response to a request for additional information regarding the AP600 shield building roof structure (request for additional information number 220.105).
A non-proprietary version was also submitted.
In your letter, you identified the information which you consider proprietary information and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure in 4
accordance with 10 CFR 2.790. The attached affidavit (AW-96-1018), executed by you on October 10, 1996, states that the designated information, owned and held in confidence by Westinghouse, should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(b)
It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a 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, of licensing a similar product.
We have reviewed your submittal and the material in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of Westinghouse's statements, have determined J
that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or proprietary information.
Therefore, we have determined that the proprietary material enclosed in NSD-NRC-96-4835, which is 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.
g3 f D 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.

^
Mr. Brian A. McIntyre November 13, 1996 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 Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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. sigped by:
