This is in further response to your letter of December 19, 1978, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, access to records concerning the Tarapur, India, Atomic Power Station and other matters relating to use of atomic energy by India.
A document entitled " State Department Statements concern 1ng TAPS Spent Fuel, U.S. Obligations to Supply, and Potential Assertions of Breach by India" which is subject to your request, required consultation with the Department of State concerning its classification.
The Department of State has completed its review and has determined that the last paragraph on page 2 is properly classified pursuant to Executive Order 12065.
This information is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (1) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(1)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(1) of the Commission's regulati'ons.
The non-exempt portions of this document are being placed in the NRC Public Document Room,1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, DC.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 of 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 under-signed and Mr. Raymond J. Brady, Director, Division of Security.
This denial may be appealed to the Commission's Executive Director for Operations within 30 days from the receipt of this letter.
As m vided 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 FOIA Decision."
This completes NRC's action on your request.
