GAP requests that fees be waived, because " finding the information can be considered as primarily benefitting the general public," 5 U.S.C. $552(a)(4)(a). GAP is a non-profit, non partisan public interest organization concerned with honest and open government. Through public outreach, the Project promotes whistleblowers as agents of government accountability.

Through its Citizens Clinic, GAP offers assistance to local public interest and citizens groups seeking to ensure the health and safety of their communities. The Citizens Clinic is currently assisting several citizens groups, local governments and intervenors in Arizona concerning the construction of the Palo Verde nuclear power plant.

We are requesting the above information as part of an ongoing monitoring project on the adequacy of Region V and the NRC's efforts to protect public safety and health at nuclear power plants.

-For any documents or portions that you deny due to a specific FOIA exemption, please provide an index itemizing and describing the documents or portions of documents withheld. The index should provide a detailed justification of your grounds for claiming each exemption, explaining why auch exemption is relevant to the document or portion of the document withheld.

This index is required under Vaughn v. Rosen (I), 484 F.2d 820 (D.C. Cir. 1973), cert. denied, 415 U.S. 977 (1974).
