SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR TERRESTRIAL ENERGY USA, INC. - REGULATORY ENGAGEMENT PLAN, VERSION 6
Dear Mr. Irish:
By letter dated March 27, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Package Accession No. ML23096A235), you submitted an affidavit executed by you for Terrestrial Energy USA, Inc. (TEUSA), requesting that the information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390:
TEUSA Regulatory Engagement Plan, Version 6 The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the reasons set forth in affidavit paragraphs (4)b and (4)c shown below:
[Contains] [i]nformation that, if used by a competitor, would reduce their expenditure of resources or improve their competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product.
[Contains] [i]nformation that reveals aspects of past, present, or future TEUSA development plans and programs, resulting in potential products to TEUSA.
We have reviewed your 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 white paper titled, TEUSA Regulatory Engagement Plan, Version 6, marked as proprietary, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
August 22, 2023
S. Irish 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 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 staff 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 301-415-4093 or via email at Adrian.Muniz@nrc.gov.
