| R. Edington The affidavits stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons: (c) The information includes test data or analytical techniques concerning a process, methodology, or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage for AREVA. (d) The information reveals certain distinguishing aspects of a process, methodology, or component, the exclusive use of which provides a competitive advantage for AREVA in product optimization or marketability. 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 submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(5) and Section 1 03(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 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 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 in advance of any public disclosure.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 10, 2014 Mr. Randall K. Edington Executive Vice President Nuclear/
Chief Nuclear Officer Mail Station 7602 Arizona Public Service Company P.O. Box 52034 Phoenix, AZ 85072-2034
SUBJECT:
PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT 3- REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NO.
MF4169)
Dear Mr. Edington:
By letter dated May 16, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML14141A545), Arizona Public Service Company (APS, the licensee),
submitted two affidavits to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated April18 and April29, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14149A097), executed by Messrs. Philip A. Opsal and Nathan E. Hottle, AREVA Inc. The affidavit requested that the information contained in the following corresponding document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 0 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390:
AREVA Document 32-9215090-001, "ASME Section XI End of Life Analysis of PVNGS3 RV BMI Nozzle Repair."
AREVA Document 32-9215089-001, "Weld Residual Stress Analysis for PVNGS3 RV BMI Nozzle Repair."
AREVA Document 32-9215084-001, "ASME Section Ill End of Life Analysis of PVNGS3 RV BMI Nozzle Repair."
AREVA Document 32-9217241-002, "Palo Verde Unit 3- BMI Nozzle Crack Growth Analysis."
AREVA Document 32-9216967-001, "Natural Frequency and Structural Integrity Analysis for PVNGS3 RV BMI Nozzle Repair."
AREVA Document 51-9213061-001, "Corrosion Evaluation for Palo Verde Unit 3 Reactor Vessel Bottom Mounted Instrument Nozzle Modification" A nonproprietary copy of these documents has been placed in the NRC's Public Document Room and added to the NRC Library in ADAMS at Package Accession No. ML14149A349.
R. Edington The affidavits stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(c) The information includes test data or analytical techniques concerning a process, methodology, or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage for AREVA.
(d) The information reveals certain distinguishing aspects of a process, methodology, or component, the exclusive use of which provides a competitive advantage for AREVA in product optimization or marketability.
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 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.
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 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 in advance of any public disclosure.
R. Edington If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at (301) 415-1530 or by e-mail at Jennivine.Rankin@nrc.gov.
Sincerely, VndJl"-La~
