By your letter dated October 19,1998, containing both proprietary and non-proprietary versions of POLESTAR calculation PSAT 05653A.04 Rev.1, " Formulation of a Once-Through Steam Generator DF for Radioiodine (as Iz) to be Credited for TMI-1 MSLB w/ A!S/ PAS," you requested an application for license amendment (Technical Specification Change Request No. 272) to change the allowable reactor coolant system activity at TMI-1. You requested that information contained in the POLESTAR calculation attached to your October 19,1998, Jetter be considered proprietary and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.
You also included an affidavit dated July 10,1998, executed by David E. W. Leaver, an Officer of Polestar Applied Technology, Inc., in support of the proprietary claim. A non-proprietary version of the POLESTAR calculation was also submitted for placement in the NRC pubiic document room.
You stated that the submitted information shou!d be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
The use of the information discloses a process or method, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by Polestar's competiters without license from Polestar constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
The information, if used by a competitor, would significantly reduce his expenditure of resources orimprove his competitive position in the analysis, design, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product.
We have reviewed your application and the materialin accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld coratains 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 t% Atomic Energy /'et of 1954, as amended.
