SUBJECT:
ST. LUCIE PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - REVISED REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE REGARDING SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION
Dear Mr. Coffey:
By letter dated August 3, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Package Accession No. ML21215A314), Florida Power & Light Company (FPL or the applicant) submitted an application for the subsequent license renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-67 and NPF-16 for the St. Lucie Plant, Units 1 and 2 (St. Lucie) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). FPL submitted the application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54, Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, forsubsequent license renewal.
On October 6, 2021, the NRC issued a letter (ADAMS Accession No. ML21271A138) with the staff determination that the material submitted with your application dated August 3, 2021, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390, and on the basis of the statements in the affidavits sought to be withheld contained proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
By letter dated October 12, 2021 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML21285A106), FPL submitted Revision 1 of the St. Lucie subsequent license renewal application. As part of Revision 1 of the application, you submitted the following revised affidavits:
- 1. CAW-21-5221, affidavit executed by Anthony J. Schoedel, Manager, eVinci Licensing and Configuration Management, on September 16, 2021, requesting the proprietary portions of LTR-SDA-21-021-P, Rev. 2, St. Lucie Units 1 & 2 Subsequent License Renewal: Reactor Pressure Vessel Supports Assessment, be withheld from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390.
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.
R. Coffey 2 (i) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse and is not customarily disclosed to the public.
(ii) The information sought to be withheld is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, to Westinghouses knowledge, is not available in public sources.
(iii) Westinghouse notes that a showing of substantial harm is no longer an applicable criterion for analyzing whether a document should be withheld from public disclosure.
Nevertheless, public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar technical evaluation justification and licensing defense services for commercial power reactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.
- 2. CAW-21-5222, affidavit executed by Anthony J. Schoedel, Manager, eVinci Licensing &
Configuration Management, on September 16, 2021, requesting the proprietary portions of LTR-SDA-II-20-31-P, Revision 3, St. Lucie Units 1 & 2 Subsequent License Renewal:

Also, public disclosure of the information would enable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.
A nonproprietary copy of these documents has been placed in the NRCs Public Document Room and added to the NRC Library under the ADAMS Accession No. ML21285A112.
We have reviewed your Revision 1 to the application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements in the affidavit, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
Therefore, the version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR2.390(b)(5) 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 need arises, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.
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 via e-mail at Lois.James@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
