SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC 1
DISCLOSURE, WESTINGHOUSE LETTER OF AUGUST 5,1998
Dear Mr. Sepp:
L By your letter (NSD-NRC-98-5745) dated August 5,1998, you submitted both proprietary and I
non-proprietary versions of the Westinghouse presentation material from the
. Westinghouse /NRC meeting on Update of Westinghouse High Bumup Plans - August 6,1998.
in letter AW-98-1271, also dated August 5,1998, you requested the proprietary material be '
j withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790. This is the response to that request.' The non-proprietary version of the material will be placed in the Public Document Room.
In the affidavit dated August 5,'1998, you stated that Westinghouse considered certain I
~
information proprietary and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to
()
10 CFR 2.790.; The affidavit states that this information should be considered exempt from
. mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
-(a)-
The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, k$/3 structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license ' rom Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other ampanies.
-(c)
Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or impron his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment,-installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.
- We have carefully reviewed your August 5,1998, request and the information container' in your request. We have concluded that the submitted information sought to be withheld co*
ns l
trade secrets or proprietary commercial information. Therefore, the version of the su! aitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to l
- 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
