SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (STP) (TAC NOS. M99245 AND M99246)
Dear Mr. Liparulo:
By your application (CAW-97-1144) and affidavit dated July 23, 1997, executed by Henry A. Sepp of Westinghouse, you submitted proprietary report, "RCS Flow Measurement Using Elbow Tap Methodology Licensing Submittal," dated July 1997, and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790. A nonproprietary version of the report, "RCS Flow Measurement Using Elbow Tap Methodology Licensing Submittal,' dated July 1997, has also been provided.
Your application and the proprietary and non-proprietary versions of the reports discussed above are attachments to Houston Lighting & Power's (HL&P's August 6, 1997, appi!:ation for an amendment to Technical Specification Table) 2.2-1 and 3/4.2.5 for reactor coolant system flow monitoring.
HL&P's August 6, 1997, application supersedes HL&P's July 16, 1997, application on the same subject because the July 16, 1997, application contained proprietary information that had not been adequately identified. The July 16, 1997, application was retrieved and discarded from all the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) files by NRC staff.
You stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process a.
(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, Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources c.
,or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a g
h7 similar product, We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the regt.;rements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of your statements, have deterinined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information.

o Mr. N. J. Liparulo August 14, 1997 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 the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
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 inspection should change in the future such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC.
You also 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 information.
In all review situations, if the NRC makes a I
determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.
Sincerely, I
