l l am Assistant General Counsel, Boston Edison Company ("BECO") and have been delegated the function of reviewing the information described in the attached pages which is sought to be withheld, and have been authorized to apply for its withholding.
In making this application for withholding of proprietary commercial and financial information, BECO relies upon the exemption from disclosure set forth in the Freedom of Information Act
("FOIA"), 5 USC Sec. 552(b)(4), and the Trade Secrets Act,18 USC Sec.1905, and NRC regulations 10 CFR 9.17(a)(4),2.790(a)(4), and 2.790(d)(1) for " trade secrets and commercial l or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential". The material for l which exemption from disclosure is here sought is all confidential commercial and financial
- information and the prevention of its use by Boston Edison's competitors constitutes a competitive economic advantage for Boston Edison.
The information sought to be withheld is being submitted to NRC in confidence. The information i is of a sort customarily held in confidence by BECO, and is in fact so held. The information i sought to be withheld has, to the best of my knowledge and belief, consistently been held in confidence by BECO, no public disclosure has been made, and it is not available in public l sources. All disclosures to third parties, including any required submittals to NRC, must be made pursuant to regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements, which provide for i.
maintenance of the information in confidence.
