W. H. Rasin August 25, 1999 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 contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
Therefore, the information provided (which is contained on computer disk and in a letter to INEEL dated February 8,1999) marked as proprietary, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CAR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b)'of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 4
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 i
consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.
l 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 determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.
