M7 1986 Ms. Billie Pirner Garde, Director Environmental Whistleblower Clinic Government Accountability Project 1555 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 202 IN RESPONSE REFER Washington, DC 20036 TO F01A-86-179

Dear Ms. Garde:

This is in response to your letter dated March 6,1986, which we treated as a request, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), for the document denied in Mr. Felton's September 17, 1984, letter to you and any additional documents concerning the June 29, 1984, meeting between TUECO officials and the NRC staff regarding the investigations concerning illegal use of drugs at the Comanche Peak plant.

The documents listed on the enclosed Appendix A are being placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), 1717 H Street, NW, Washington, DC. The documents listed on the enclosed Appendix B are already available in the PDR. These documents came into the possession of Region IV employees subsequent to the processing of F01A-84-677.

The document denied in NRC's response to FOIA-84-677 and listed on the enclosed Appendix C has been re-reviewed. This document is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (5) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and c:. 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5) of the Commission's regulations. This document is a draft which is clearly predecisional because it was prepared prior to and in the course of reaching a final agency decision. As such, this draft does not reflect a final agency position. Exemption (5) was intended to permit the agency's withholding of such documents to preserve the free and candid internal dialogue necessary for the careful formulation of agency decisions. Segregation and disclosure of the factual information contained in this document would reveal the staff's evaluation of which facts were important.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 cf the Commission's regulations, it has been determined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure, and that its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest. The persons responsible for this denial are the undersigned and Mr. Robert Martin, Regional Administrator, Region IV.

fM71fg4860707 "

GARDE 86-179 PDR;

l Ms. Garde This denial may be appealed to the Commission's Executive Director for Operations within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. As provided in-10 CFR 9.11, any such appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Executive Director for Operations, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial F0IA Decision."

This completes action on your request.

Sincerely,

>u.ec l $w ,. n.i Donnie H. Grimsley, Director Division of Rules and Records Office of Adminstration
