{ Exemption 1: The withheld information is property classified pursuant to E <ecutive Order 12958.

F Exemption 2: The withheld information relates solely to the intemal personnel rules and procedures of NRC.

Exemption 3. The withheld information is specifically exempted from public disclosure by statute indicated.

- Sections 141 145 of the Atomic Energy Act, which prohibits the disclosure of Restricted Data or Formerly Restricted Data (42 U.S C.

- executive agency to any person under section 552 of Title 5, U.S.C. (the FOIA), except when incorporated into the contract between the agency and the submitter of the proposal.

r- Exemption 4: The withheld information is a trade secret or commercial or financial information that is being withheld for the reason (s)

L- indicated.

'l The information is considered to be confidential business (propnetary) information.

f Deliberative process
Disclosure of predecisional information would tend to inhibit the open and frank exchange of ideas essential to the 1 dehberative process. Where records are withheld in their entirety, the facts are inextricably intertwined with the predecisional information. There also are no reasonably segregable factual portions because the release of the facts would permit an indirect inquiry into the predecisional process of the agency.

] (C) Disclosv e would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal pnvacy.

~ ~ (D) The information consists of names of individuals and other information the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to reveal identities of confidential sources.
