IN RESPONSE REFER

Washington, DC 20045

TO F01A-80-171

FWYfo- A Y

Dear Mr. Runningen:

This is in response to your letter dated March 28, 1980, in which you

requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, a copy of NRC's

report on its investigation of alleged security breaches at Commonwealth

Edison's nuclear power plant at Cordova, Illinois.

Upon receipt of your letter, we once again contacted the Headquarters

staff of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

They requested that

the report be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to exemptions

(7)(A) and (B) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7)(A)

and (B)) because its release would interfere with an (aforcement proceeding

and could deprive a person of the right to a fair trial or an impartial

adjudication.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 of the Commission's regulations, it has been

determined that the information withheld is exempt from preduction or

disclosure, and that its production or disclosure is contra: y to the

public interest. The persons responsible for this denial are the undersigned

and Mr. David G. Flanders, Chief, Freedom of Information-Privacy Acts

Branch, FBI.

This denial may be appealed to che 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 r

be in writing, addressed to the

Executive Director for Operations, . 5. 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."

Sincerely,

.

J. M. Felton, Director
