SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING PROPRIETARY INFORMATION -WCAP-14135, " FINAL TEST REPORT FOR PCS LARGE-SCALE TESTS, PHASE 2 AND PHASE 3"
Dear Mr. McIntyre:
By letter dated July 20,1998, the staff requested that Westinghouse review its claim and to notify the staff with regard to what portions of WCAP-14135. Revisions 1, Westinghouse considered company proprietary. The basis for this request was that the staff was unable to determine what information was considered proprietary and in some cases why it was considered proprietary due to an inconsistency in, or lack of, proprietary markings. The nonproprietary version of the document revealed information that was marked as proprietary; the nonproprietary and proprietary versions of the documents indicated different reasons for the proprietary claim; and the drawings contained in WCAP-14135 Revision 1, were marked as proprietary, however, the reasons the drawings were considered proprietary was not indicated.
By letter dated August 21,1998, Westinghouse provided a consistent rationale for their proprietary claim and established the reasons for maintaining the drawings included in WCAP-14135 as proprietary. Also, in a letter dated August 26,1998, Westinghouse agreed to remove the proprietary claim from the information presented in WCAP-14135, Revision 1, Sections 1 and 2, and to provide revised pages for sections 1 and 2 of WCAP-14135, Revision 1, and WCAP-14138 with the proprietary markings removed. On the basis of this commitment, the staff has decided to accept the claim that the information in WCAP-14135, Revision 1, is proprietary and will be withheld from public disclosure.
Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the document. 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 Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). You should also understand that the NRC ko l4 I

may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request included your information. In all review situations, if the NRC needs additional information from you or makes a determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.
