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

NRC-2018-000600 Appealing: NRC-2018-000034 Julian Tarver 885530 Washington State Penitentiary IMU South H-2 1313 N 13th Avenue Walla Walla, WA 99362

Dear Mr. Tarver,

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your letter dated June 28, 2018, in which you appealed the agency's decision related to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking the Organizational Chart, Staff Roster of Yucca Mountain project. Specifically, you appealed the adequacy of NRC's search.

Acting on your appeal, I have reviewed the records for this case and have determined that, as stated in our final response to NRC-2018-000034 to you, the NRC is unable to locate any responsive records to your request. The agency informed you that the NRC adjudicatory proceeding for Yucca Mountain is currently suspended, therefore, NRC does not have an active Yucca Mountain project staff in the licensing office and does not have any documents (i.e. org charts for rosters) that are responsive to your request. Therefore, I have denied your appeal.

This is the final agency decision. As set forth in the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(B)), you can seek judicial review of this decision in a district court of the United States in the district in which you reside or have your principal place of business, in the district where the agency's records are situated, or in the District of Columbia.

As part of the 2007 FOIA amen~ments, the Offiqe of Government Information Services (OGIS) was created to offer mediation services to resolve disputes between FOIA requesters and Federal agencies as a nonexclusive alternative to litigation. Using OGIS services does not

Julian Tarver affect your right to pursue litigation. If you are requesting access to your own records (which is considered a Privacy Act request), you should know that OGIS does not have the authority to handle requests made under the Privacy Act of 1974.

You may contact OGIS in any of the following ways:
