Dear 51r. Stiller:
The above referenced letter indicates that the NRC Staff concurs with theWestinghouse position that summary data alone is not sufficient to establishqualification of Class 1E Equipment. However, the reports included in thistransmittal, which includes identification of proprietary material, were beingdeveloped to meet a previously established commitment for Comanche Peak priorto receipt of the Starch 10, 1981 NRC letter. In the future, in an effort to supportthe NRC and utility review of the equipment qualification program, Westinghousewill develop and submit summary type information to the Public Document Roomfor this report.
Ver truly yours,

SUBJECT: Westinghouse Equipment Qualification Programs Test Report E06AResistance Temperature Detectors (Well Mounted)
REF: Westinghouse Letter No. NS-TMA-2425, Anderson to Mi!1er, datedMarch 31,1981
|Dear Mr. Miller:
This application for withholding is submitted by Westinghouse Electric Corporationpursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(1) of 10CFR 2.790 of the Commission'sregulations. It applies to the proprietary material transmitted by the referencedletter which supplements proprietary material previously submitted concerning thequalification of safety-related electrical equipment.
The affidavit provided to justify withholding the previously submitted material,AW-80-27, a copy of which is attached, is equally applicable to this material. Thereferenced affidavit was submitted by Westinghouse Letter No. NS-TMA-2257,,
'
Anderson to Miller, dated June 16, 1980.
Accordingly, it is requested that the subject Westinghouse proprietary material bewithheld from public disclosure in accordance with the provisions of 10CFR 2.790
i of the Commission's regulations.
| Cerrespondence with respect to the proprietary aspects of this application for'

There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system

(a) The use of such information by Westingnouse givesWestinghouse a competitive advantage over its ccm-petitors. It is, therefore, withneld from disclosure
to protect the Westinghouse ccmcetitive position.

The deveiccment of the equipment descri:ed in part by theinformation is the result of many years of development byWestinghcuse and the expenditure af a considerable sum ofmoney.
This could only be duplicated by a ccmcetitor if ne wereto invest similar sums of money and provided he had theappropriate talent available and c0uld semenew obtain therecuisite experience.
