CAnot CLAWSON RE RicHAnos PALMER DEPAuus Solicitor General Chef Deputy Attomey General Chetof Stafl June 9,1998 VIA FAX: (609) 797-0909 and FIRST CLASS MAIL Mr. Gary Tjerland Holtec International 555 Lincoln Drive Marlton,NJ 08053 Revisions to HI $TORM and HI STAR Cask Licensing Applications re:
Dear Mr. Tjerland:
As you recall, the State of Utah and Holtec International entered into a Confidentiality Agreement on November 7,1997, to enable certain employees of the Utah Department of Environmental Quality and its contractors to have access to and review proprietary information submitted by Holtec to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The State has now been admitted as a party to the Private Fuel Storage, LLC (PFS) ISFSI licensing proceedings (Docket No. 72-22), and as PFS is proposing to use Holtec as a cask vendor, the -
status of the HI-STAR and HI-STORM cask license applications are inextricably linked to the PFS licensing proceeding.
In a meeting (open to the public) between Holtec and the NRC Staff on May 28,1998, it became apparent that Holtec must submit revisions to its HI-STORM and HI-STAR cask i
license applications. It is our understanding that Holtec will submit the first revision to the l
HI-STORM application to the NRC by June 15,1998.
The purpose of this letter is two fold. First, the State requests that any revised cask i
license applications or amendments, and other relevant information, such as responses to the Staff's Requests for Additional Information, that Holtec or its representatives submit to the NRC also be sent to the State of Utah. Please use my name as the contact person. Second, the State would like to establish a procedure for using the existing Confidentiality Agreement to allow the State to access proprietary information that Holtec submits to the NRC.
Currently the definition of Confidential Information is limited to the proprietary information 980616o071 980609 PDR ADOCK 07200022 C

Mr. Gary Tjerland 8
HoltecInternational June 9,1998 Page 2 the State now has in its possession. One method would be to add an addendum to the existing agreement each time Holtec sends additional proprietary information to the State. If you feel that adding addenda to the existing Agreement is an unworkable approach, the State is willing to enter into a separate agreement that would allow the State to timely receive proprietary information that Holtec submits to the NRC.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at (801) 366-0286 to discuss the most expeditious way by which the State may be kept appraised of ongoing developments in the Holtec cask
' licensing proceedings.
Sincere I
