COUNTY OF BUTLER:
(1) I, Jill S. Monahan, have been specifically delegated and authorized to apply for withholding and execute this Affidavit on behalf of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Westinghouse).
(2) I am requesting the proprietary portions of LTR-SDA-21-021-P Rev. 1 be withheld from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390.
(3) I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Westinghouse in designating information as a trade secret, privileged, or as confidential commercial or financial information.
(4) Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.
(i) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse and is not customarily disclosed to the public.
(ii) The information sought to be withheld is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, to Westinghouse's knowledge, is not available in public sources.
(iii) Westinghouse notes that a showing of substantial harm is no longer an applicable criterion for analyzing whether a document should be withheld from public disclosure. Nevertheless, public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar technical evaluation justifications and licensing defense services for commercial power reactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable
Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 CAW-21-5192 Page 2 of 3 others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.
(5) Westinghouse has policies in place to identify proprietary information. Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as follows:
(a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process ( or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage (e.g., by optimization or improved marketability).
(c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure ofresources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.
(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.
(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.
(t) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.

MSLEF-LTR-001 Rev. 0 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO REGIONAL MUNJCIPALITY OF WATERLOO AFFIDA VrT OF MARIO GOGIC I, Mario Gogic, of the Cit)* of Guelph, in the Province of Ontario, being sworn. make oath and say as follows:
- 1. 1 am the Manager, Component Engineering of BWXT Canada Lld. (.. BWXT'), and as such. I have been specificalJy delegated the function of reviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disdosure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing and rulemaking proceedings, and am authorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of BWXT.
- 2. I am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of l 0CFR Section 2.390 of the Commission~s regulations and in conjunction with the BWXT Canada Ltd.
Application for Withholding accompanying this Affidavit.
- 3. I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilize-cl by BWXT in designating infonnation as a trade secret, proprietary or as confidential commercial or financial infonnation.
- 4. Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.390 of the Commission:s regulations, the following is furnished for consideration b the Commission in determining whether the infonnation sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.
(i) The infonnation sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by BWXT.
(ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by BWXT and not customarily disclosed to the public. BWXT has a rational basis for determining the types of infonnation customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a s stem to determine when and whether to hold certain types of infonnation in confidence. The application of that s. stem and the substance of that system constitutes BWXT polic. and provides the ratjonal basis required.
Under that system, infonnation is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as folio\\:
(a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process, component. structure, tool, method. etc., where prevention of its use by any of BWXT's competitors without license from BWXT constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
MSLEF-LTR-00 I. Rev. 0 (b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure. tool, method. etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage: e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.
(c) Its use by a competitor would reduce its expenditure of resources or improve its competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment.
installation, quality assurance, or licensing of a similar product.
(d) It contains patentable ideas. for which patent protection may be desirable.
There are sound policy reasons behind the BWXT system which include the following:
- The use of such infonnation by BWXT gives BWXT a competitive advantage over its competitors. It is therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect BWXT's competitive advantage.
- It is infonnation which is marketable in many ways. The extent to which such information is available to competitors diminishes the BWXT ability to selJ products and services involving the use of such information.
- Use by a competitor of BWXT would put BWXT at a competitive disadvantage by reducing the competitor's expenditure of resources at BWXT's expense.
- BWXT's capacity to invest corporate assets in research and development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.
(iii) The infonnation is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10CFR Section 2.390~ it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.
(iv) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available information has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to the best of our knowledge and belief.
(v) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is identified in BWXT Report MSLEF-SR-01-P, "St. Lucie Unit I Replacement Steam Generator - Environmental Assisted Fatigue Report" and Application for Wrthholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure, to the Document Control Desk.
The information which is proprietary in the proprietary version is contained within brackets, and where the proprietary infonnation has been deleted in the non-proprietary versions, only the brackets remain (the information that was contained within the brackets in the proprietary versions having been deleted).
The justification for claiming the information so designated as proprietary is 2

Rev. 0 indicated in both versions by means of lower case letters (a) through (d) located as a superscript immediately following the brackets enclosing each item of information being identified as proprietary.

COUNTY OF BUTLER:
( 1) I, Zachary S. Harper, have been specifically delegated and authorized to apply for withholding and execute this Affidavit on behalf of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Westinghouse).
(2) I am requesting the proprietary portions of LTR-SDA-20-099-P Rev. 1 be withheld from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390.
(3) I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Westinghouse in designating information as a trade secret, privileged, or as confidential commercial or financial information.
(4) Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.
(i) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse and is not customarily disclosed to the public.
(ii) The information sought to be withheld is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, to Westinghouse's knowledge, is not available in public sources.
(iii) Westinghouse notes that a showing of substantial harm is no longer an applicable criterion for analyzing whether a document should be withheld from public disclosure. Nevertheless, public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar technical evaluation justifications and licensing defense services for commercial power reactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable
Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 CAW-21-5173 Page 2 of 3 others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.
(5) Westinghouse has policies in place to identify proprietary information. Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as follows:
(a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process ( or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage (e.g., by optimization or improved marketability).
(c) Its use 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 a similar product.
(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.
(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.
(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.
