Attachment 3 provides a revised version of this page that incorporates this editorial correction .

Attachment 2 contains information proprietary to Westinghouse Electric Company LLC ; it is supported by an affidavit signed by Westinghouse, the owner of the information . The affidavit, provided in Attachment 4, sets forth the basis on which the information may be withheld from public disclosure by the NRC and addresses with specificity the considerations listed in paragraph (b)(4) of 10 CFR 2 .390, "Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding."

Accordingly, it is requested that the information be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 . A non-proprietary version of the information contained in is also provided in Attachment 4.
