'O d'
p 929 Wilmington Avenue fH IN RESP 0M, REFER Dayton, OH 45420 TO F0IA 3/ IM Dear Mr. Alexanc.
This is in partial response to your letter dated June.19,1981, in which you requested.. pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, copies of documents related to the nine ' categories of information you identified in your letter.
In partial reply to your request, we have identified the specific documents listed on Appendix A hereto as containing information on the subject! of l
your interests. Copies of these documents are enclosed.
With respect to items 1 and 2 of your request, please refer to Appendix A documents 1 and 2.
Documents 3 through 25 of Appendix A relate to item 6 of your request.
With respect to item 7 of your request, we are aware of one other docketed l
case in which the use of potassium iodide as a radiation blocking agent has been raised as an issue.
It is:
l Lousiana Power and Light Co. (Waterford Steam Electric Station.
l Unit 3),DocketNumber50-382 l
t There may be other cases in which the issue was raised, but we have no subject index to identify the cases.
l After careful consideration, we have also determined that items 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9 of your request do not " reasonably describe" the records sought, l
but rather are broad, sweeping, indiscriminate requests for production, lacking reasonable specificity. As such, these portions of your request fail to meet the threshold requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(3).
It is reasonable to assume that the files located throughout various Orfices and Divisions of the NRC may contain documents related in some way to the subjects of these items. We cannot, however, short of examining all of these files, state with any degree of confidence that all documents relating to your request would be located, g8 61 810713' ALEXAND81-243 PDR.
Mr. J:ff Alexand r -
The flouse Report on the 1974 Amendments to the Freedom of Information Act provides that:
"A ' description' of a requested document would be sufficient if it enabled a professional employee of the agency who was familiar with the subject area of the request to locate the record with a
-reasonable cmount of effort."
(H. Rpt.93-876 at 5-6. )
As indicated above, much more than a reasonable amount of effe vt would be required to comply with your request.
l Likewise, the Senate Report indicates that the 1974 Amendments to the F0IA were not intended "to authorize broad categorical requests where it is impossible for the agency reasonably to determine what is sought.
(See Irons v. Schuyler, 465 F.2d 608 (DC Cir.1972))... " (S. Rpt.93-834 at 10.)
In view of the scope and nature of your request, the documentary material being sought, and the considerations expressed above, we conclude that items 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 of your request do not meet the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(3).
Accordingly, no further action will be taken with respect to these portions of your present request.
If you wish, we can have you discuss your request with a member of the professional. staff who can assist you in redefining your request so that we may, with a reasonable amount of effort, locate the specific type of documents you are seeking in regard to items 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 of your request.
We are also prepared to give you a representative sample of the information available.
If you consider this response to be a denial of your request, you may appeal this determinaton within 30 days to the Executive Director for Operations. As provided 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 F0IA Decision."
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Nina L. Toms, of my staff, on(301)492-8133.
