UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 IN RESPONSE REFER TO:

NRC-2018-000327 (NRC-2016-000558)

Diane Curran Harmon, Curran, Spielberg & Eisenberg LLP 1725 DeSales Street NW, Suite 500 Washington, DC 20036

Dear Ms. Curran:

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your January 23, 2018 request, in which you appealed the lack of a timely response to your June 30, 2016, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, NRC-2016-000558 (previously under case number FOIA/PA-2016-000558). Your request sought access to the following records:

1) All communications to and from the NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) and the Japan Lessons Directorate (JLD) dated between June 2, 2014 to June 21, 2016 regarding Exelon Generation's June 2, 2014 "Request for Extension to Comply with NRC Order EA-2013-109 Order Modifying Licenses Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vent Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions" and fhe NRC decision regarding "Relaxation of the Schedule Requirement for Order EA-13-109" dated November 16, 2015 for the Oyster Creek nuclear generating station.
2) All communications to and from Brett Titus NRC/NRR between June 2, 2014 to date regarding Exelon Generation's June 2, 2014 "Request for Extension to Comply with NRC Order EA-2013-109 Order Modifying Licenses Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vent Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions" and the NRC decision regarding "Relaxation of the Schedule Requirement for Order EA 109" dated November 16, 2015 for the Oyster Creek nuclear generating station.

Due to the volume of records, the involvement of multiple program offices, and the presence of equities of the licensee with which we had to consult, we were unable to complete the processing of your request under the statutory time frame applicable to such complex requests. However, we did provide two interim responses as our work progressed. Now that we have issued the third, and final, response to you, your "constructive denial" appeal is now considered moot and we are administratively closing our appeal file.
