UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 April 28, 2021 Mr. Chris Vanderpool Radiation Safety Officer Hopewell Designs, Inc.
5940 Gateway Drive Alpharetta, GA 30004
SUBJECT:
U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION APPROVAL OF HOPEWELL DESIGNS, INCORPORATED REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE
Dear Mr. Vanderpool:
Hopewell Designs, Inc. submitted an affidavit dated October 8, 2020, executed by you, requesting that certain portions of the application dated October 8, 2020 and letter dated February 5, 2021, submitted in connection with your application request for a sealed source and device evaluation be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.390.
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure because the information contains trade secrets and confidential information and that if the information is not withheld it would reveal trade secrets and that would negatively impact Hopewell Designs, Inc.
We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 9.17 and 2.390, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or confidential or privileged commercial or financial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
Therefore, the information requested to be withheld in the letter dated October 8, 2020 and February 5, 2021, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 9.17 and 10 CFR Paragraph 2.390(b)(4) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents.
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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 of the date of public disclosure, in advance which will be a reasonable time thereafter.
C. Vanderpool 2 If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-7138, or by e-mail at Tomas.Herrera@nrc.gov.
Sincerely, 4/28/2021 X
