COMMITTEE TO BRIDGE THF. GAP 1637 BUTLER AVENUE s203 LOS ANGELES, CAllFORNIA 90025 (213) 478 0829 Decerber 10, 1987 Director Division of Rules and Records Office of Administration U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission gDOM OF INrogyAg ,

Washington, D.C. 20555 ACI REQUEST Ref: FOIA 87-180

,atA-87-2As N % i2-l A-47

Dear Sir or Madam:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

In 1986 the Commission adopted a new rule (10 C.F.R. 550.64) that generally requires licensees that use highly enriched uranium fuel to convert their facilities to low enriched uranium.

We request a copy of the following documents pertaining to the new rule which have become available since our similar request of March 1987 (FOIA 87-180):

(1) All schedules for conversion which have been submitted to date in response to the new rule, together with supporting docurentation.

(D All requests for a unique purpose exemption, together with supporr.ing doeurentation; or withdrawal of such requests.

(3) All other correspondence between NRC and licensees pertaining to the new rule.

(4) All correspondence between NRC and DOE or other federal agencies pertaining to the new rule or its implementation.

(5) Documents that address the ecoversion of industry reactors and the funding of such conversion.

We request that these documents be placed in the Public Document Room.

We would appreciate it if, in addition, subja:t documents that are already in the PDR could be identified.

Thank you.

Sincerely, S. M J Steven Aftergood five Director l
