MMPR ASSOCI ATES INC ENGINEERS Affidavit Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790 Relative to MPR Report 1820 "Three Mile Island Generating Station -

OTSG Kinetic Expansion Inspection Criteria Analysis" MPR Associates,Inc.

The Commonwealth of Virginia City of Alexandria I, William R. Schmidt, being duly sworn, depose and state that I am a Principal Officer of l

MPR Associates, Inc., duly authorized to make this affidavit, and have reviewed the

)

information which is identified as proprietary and referenced in the paragraph immediately below. I am submitting this affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.790 of j

the Commission's regulations.

The information for which proprietary treatment is sought is contained in the attached report titled, "Three Mile Island Generating Station - OTSG Kinetic Expansion Inspection Criteria Analysis, MPR - 1820, Revision 1 dated September 1997."

This document has been appropriately designated as proprietary to MPR Associates, Inc.

I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by MPR Associates in designating information as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financialinformation.

Pursuant to the provisions of the paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining j

whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure, included in the above referenced document, should be withheld.

1.

The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure has been held m confidence by MPR Associates.

I 2.

The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by MPR Associates and not customarily disclosed to the public. MPR Associates has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a system to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence. This system was applied in determining that the subject document herein is proprietary.

u

3.

The information will be transmitted to the Commission in confidence under the provisions of 10 CFR 2.790 with the understanding that it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.

4.

The information, to the best of my knowledge and belief, is not available in public sources.

5.

Public disclosure of the information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of MPR Associates because:

The development of the information required a considerable amount of time a.

and expense by MPR Associates, b.

For a competitor to develop the same information would require a similar or greater amount of time and expense, c.

In pricing MPR Associates products and services, significant research, development, engineering, analytical, manufacturing, quality assurance and other costs and expenses must be included. The ability of MPR Associates' competitors to utilize such information without similar expenditure of resources may enable them to sell at prices reflecting significantly lower costs.

I have read the foregoing and the matters stated therein are true and correct to the best of

)

my knowledge,information and belief. I make this affidavit under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America and under the laws of the State of Virginia.

Executed at 320 King Street, Alexandria, VA, being the premises and place of business of MPR Associates.
