FW: change in public availability of slide package Attachments:

2013-03-25 Revised Duke slides (non-public).pdf Importance:

High Susie, the email string below discusses a set of slides used by the licensee at a public meeting, and the licensee later informed us that one of the slides had sensitive information.

Those slides are in ADAMS at ML1 3084A022.

You had changed this document profile to non-public.

The licensee has now provided us the same set of slides, but with the "Withhold from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390" added to the bottom of all the slides. Please replace ML1 3084A022 with the attached pdf file. The licensee has also provided a set of public slides, which I added to ADAMS as ML13123A204.

Thanks.John Boska Oconee Project Manager, NRR/DORL U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 301-415-2901 email: john.boska@nrc.gov From: ADAMS IM Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 10:14 AM To: Boska, John; Pascarelli, Robert Cc: Monninger, John; CSIRT; McCarthy, James

RE: change in public availability of slide package Importance:

High Robert/James, ADAMS IM has changed the availability for ML13084A022 to Non-Public, which will automatically remove this file from Public Access once the synch occurs.For now this file is Non-Public/Non-Sensitive with "Non-Public Pending Review" added to the keyword file.Per our previous email request -please provide the proper document sensitivity selected from the attached MD Code Chart.Thanks Susie Hicks On Behalf of ADAMS IM (b)(6)(b)(6)( I can be reached at From: McCarthy, James Sent: Monday, April 22, 2013 2:06 PM To: ADAMS IM; Pascarelli, Robert Cc: Boska, John; Monninger, John; CSIRT

Subject:

RE: change In public availability of slide package Hello Robert, Below are guidelines to change Released Public files to Non-Public.

Also, please provide us with the proper document sensitivity which you can select from the attached ND Code Chart, so we can render this file ML13084A022 Non-Public?

Before we can process your request to withdraw a document(s) from the ADAMS Public Library (WBA), we need written authorization and justification (an e-mail message is fine) from a Division Director or above in the originating or responsible organization.

This requirement is documented in an August 28, 2002, memo from Stuart Reiter, Chief Information Officer, to all NRC Office Directors and Regional Administrators.

See ML022340277.

Please have the appropriate Division Director or above send the authorization and justification to the e-mail address ADAMS IM. If you have been given the authority required by ML022340277, have those manager(s) provide us with the delegation.

If the document(s) to be removed from WBA contains classified, safeguards, or privacy information, please let us know and we will take actions to immediately remove the document(s) prior to receiving the written authorization.

However, we still require the appropriate written authorization.

Please note that if this document is part of a publicly available ADAMS Package, we will change the Package's Public availability to A Non-Publicly Available status if appropriate.

Also note that in accordance with Management Directive 3.4, A Release of Information to the Public, the Office Directors and Regional Administrators are required to take corrective action in the event that any information for which they are responsible is released contrary to NRC policy and must inform the EDO and the Office of the Inspector General in writing of the occurrence.

The authorizing official or office requestor should e-mail WEBWork to remove the document or any links if they exist on any external Web pages. If your office maintains an external Web site separate from the official NRC Web page, you are responsible for.the removal of the document from the site.Thanks Susan Hicks On Behalf of ADAMS IM X work at an alternate 1, cati n n (b)(6)an I can be reached at (b)(6) i From: Pascarelli, Robert Sent: Monday, April 22, 2013 12:33 PM To: ADAMS IM Cc: Boska, John; Monninger, John

Subject:

change In public availability of slide package On 03/25/2013, Duke Energy provided the staff with a slide presentation (ML13084A022) that we placed in ADAMS as publically available.

Duke Energy subsequently informed the NRC that one of the slides contained SUNSI information (slide 18). Please change the profile of this document to non-publically available.

Thank you.Bob Pascarelli, Chief Plant Licensing Branch I1-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 3
