Dear Mr. Hamblett:
This is in response to your letter dated June 25, 1985, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), a copy of SECY-85-80.
SECY-85-80, identified on the enclosed appendix, is being withheld in part.
The withheld portion contains the predecisional analyses, opinions, and rec-omendations of the Office of Investigations /0I) for the Commissioners' consideration on the adoption of proposed investigative policies. Because the document reflects the predecisional process between the Commissioners and 01, the document is exempt from mandatory disclosure pursuant to Exemption 5 of the F0IA, 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5), and the Commission's regulations, 10 CFR 9.5 (a)(5). Release of this portion of the document would tend to inhibit the open and frank exchange of ideas essential to the deliberative process. The enclosures to this document are being placed in the NRC Public Document Room located at 1717 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20555, in file folder F01A-85-460 in your name.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.15 of the Commission's regulations, it has been detennined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure and that its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest. The person responsible for this denial is Mr. John C. Hoyle, Assistant Secretary of the Commission.
This denial may be appealed to the Secretary of the Commission within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. Any such appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal of an Initial FOIA Decision."
