Dear Mr. Grimsley:
On. behalf of the City of Austin, and pursuant to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.
f-552, and the implementing regulations _of the Nuclear Rugulatory Commission, 10 C.F.R. Part 9, we hereby request copic.c of all records' of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission pertaining to safety and/or health complaints regarding the South-Texas Nuclear Plant located in Bay City, Texas, made by ' organiza-tions,- groups, or individuals, including,.but not limited to, former employees at the South Texas Nuclear Plant.
We have attempted to provide a identifying.information concerning the agency records covered by this request.
In the
- event, however, that you should determine that this request does not describe the agency ' records ' requested with sufficient specificity to enable such' agency records to be located, we ask that you notify the undersigned pursuant to 10 C.F.R.
S i
9.23(b)(2) of the basis for your determination and allow us to confer with appropriate Nuclear Regulatory Commission personnel so that;we.may. restate the request in such e way as _ to rectify any deficiency you believe exists.

t Mr. Donnie H. Grimsley August 8, 1990 Page Two In the event you determine that any of the above-described agency records or portions of such agency records are l
exempt from mandatory disclocure under the provisions of 5 U.S.C.
S 552(b), we request that you fully describe each 'such agency record (or portion of such agency tecord) withheld, state your reasons for withholding such agency record or portions thereof, and state your reasons for not invoking your discretionary powers to release such agency record or portions thereof.
We request that non-exempt portions of agency records that are segregable f rom the portions that you believe to be exempt f rom disclosure be released as they are identified, as opposed to being withheld until the correctness of your l
decision with respect to the withheld portions of the agency l
records is determined.
We request that you release agency records responaive l
to this request to us as they become available, rather than delaying release until your entire search for responsive records has been completed.
In
(,ccordance with 10 C.F.R. 9.41, the City of Austin believes inter a l i_ a that the public's interest in disclosure exceeds the requester's commercial interest in disclosure.
Accordingly, the City of Austin respectfully requests a waiver or at least a partial waiver of fees.
In the l
alternative, notice is hereby given that the City of Austin is willing to pay reasonable fees that are incurred and assessed for the search for and copying of records responsive to this request.
Hovover, in the event fees for the search and copying of responsive records will be in excess of
$250.00, please I
advise and confer with the undersigned prior to incurring costs t
in excess of such amount.
I All communications conc,_aing this tequest should be directed to the undersigned.
Thank you for yo ir assistance in this matter.
