J. Fulton i 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.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-1445.

Sincerely, Original signed by Alan B. Wang, Project Manager Project Directorate 1-3 Division of Reactor Projects - 1/11 Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation ,
