A local power bound is obtained for asymptotic level-[alpha] tests in the presence of infinitely many nuisance parameters. Likelihood ratio tests, conditioning on P-ancillary statistics or based on marginal P-sufficient statistics, attain this power bound, and are thus locally most powerful similar. The efficiency of the marginal likelihood ratio tests based on conditional P-sufficient statistics is also discussed.
