It is respectfully requested that the Commission send copies of all
notices, orders and communications to:
Kyle G. Storie

Item 5. is hereby amended by the addition of the following:
The Applicants hereby request that certain information
contained in the Exhibits hereto, as indicated in Item 6 Exhibits
(the "Information") be kept confidential pursuant to Rule 104(b)
(Section 250.104(b) of the Commission's Regulations).
Public disclosure of the Information is not necessary or
appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors
or consumers.
The Information includes a projection of NFR's internal
rate of return on the Perfection investment which contains projected
sales volumes and selling price per unit for each Valve. Also
included in the Information are Marketing Studies prepared by
Perfection in regard to each Valve which describe market
opportunities on a regional basis, competitors and their products,
possible competitive responses to introduction of the Perfection
Valves and features which the Valves must contain to be competitive.
All of this information would be highly coveted by
Perfection's competitors (and otherwise unavailable) and if disclosed
would put Perfection's Valve programs at a significant competitive
disadvantage given that competitors are not required to make public
their marketing studies and information. Additionally, the amount of
the Perfection investment ($610,000.00) is of an order of magnitude
too small to be material to either investors or consumers.
The investing and consuming public would be best served by
allowing the Information to remain confidential, thereby allowing
Perfection to compete on an equal basis with its competitors.

Company Act of 1935, the undersigned companies have duly caused this
Amendment to the application-declaration to be signed on their behalf
