IN RESPONSE REFER

Suite 501

TO F0IA-81-A-15

Washington, DC 20006

(F01A-81-376)

Dear Mr. Lowenstein:

This is in partial response to your letter dated October 15, 1981 in

which you appealed NRC's failure to provide a response to your initial

Freedom of Information Act request of September 18, 1981.

On November 17 and 20,1981 you were provided with a total of seven

documents. Additional documents subject to your request have since been

located. These documents, as listed on the Appendix to this letter, are

enclosed in their entirety with two exceptions. The memorandum dated

December 15, 1980 from G. A. Phillip contains the names of persons the

release of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal

privacy and disclose the identities of confidential sources. These

names are being withheld pursuant to exemption (7)(C) and (D) of the

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7)(C) and (D)') and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(7)(iii) and (iv) of the Comission's regulations.

In the OIA

Report Chronology the name of a particular person is being withheld

because disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal

privacy. This withholding is being made pursuant to exemption (7)(C) of

the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7)(C)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(7)(iii).

Additional documents will be addressed by the Commission in a separate

response to you regarding your appeal.

This determination is a final agency action with regard to these documents.

As set forth in the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(B)),

judicial review of this decision is available in a district court of

9

United States in either the district in which you reside, have your di

I4

principal place of business, or in the District of Columbia.
