Approval of Holtec International Request for Withholding Information from Public DisclosureFinal Safety Analysis Report Revision 9 for the FW MPC Storage System Date: Monday, July 12, 2021 8:59:00 AM

Dear Ms. Manzione:

By letter dated June 18, 2021, you submitted an affidavit requesting that certain information contained in the submittal for the Final Safety Analysis Report, Revision 9 for the HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System to be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 2, Section 2.390.

As applicable, a non-proprietary copy of the submittal is placed in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC's) Public Document Room and added to the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Public Electronic Reading Room.

The affidavit states that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

• The information 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.

• The information, if used by a competitor, would reduce the expenditure of resources or improve the competitive position of the competitor in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product.

We have reviewed the request 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 CFR 2.390(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

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 of the date of public disclosure, in advance, which will be a reasonable time thereafter.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, you may contact me at 301-415-1018.
