NRC APPROVAL OF HOLTEC INTERNATIONAL REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR THE SUBMITTAL OF THE HI-STORM UMAX AMENDMENT 5 RESPONSES TO PROPOSED RESOLUTION (DOCUMENT ID 5021082) FOR DOCKET NO. 72-1040 - ENTERPRISE PROJECT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER L-2023-LLA-0176
Dear Ali Elzahri:
By letter dated October 6, 2025 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS] Accession Number ML25279A207), Holtec International submitted an affidavit dated October 6, 2025, executed by Kimberly Manzione, you requested 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.
to Holtec Letter 5021082.
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
The material for which exemption from disclosure is here sought is all confidential commercial information, and some portions also qualify under the narrower definition of trade secret.
It is information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by Holtec's competitors without license from Holtec International constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
It is information which, if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product.
The information sought to be withheld is being submitted to the NRC in confidence.
The information classified as proprietary was developed and compiled by Holtec International at a significant cost to Holtec International.
Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld is likely to cause substantial harm to Holtec International's competitive position and foreclose or reduce the availability of profit-making opportunities.
We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
Therefore, attachment 2 to Holtec letter 5021082 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. 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 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 FOIA 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.
Note that this email will be placed in ADAMS as publicly available to document the approval of your request to withhold information from public disclosure.
If you have any questions regarding this communication, please contact me at (301) 415-7295, or via email to Daneira.Melendez-Colon@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
Daneira Meléndez Colón
