Dear Mr. Lodge:
This is in partial response to your letter dated April 8,1982, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, copies of the draft inspection and investigation reports with their transmittal letters, correspondence, complaints submitted to NRC, and the identity of all persons present at a February 12, 1982 meeting regarding the Hayward Tyler Pump Company; copies of all documents referring to Marcus Rowden since June 1977; and copies of I&E Reports 81-12 and 81-20 for Comanche Peak.
The documents listed on the Appendix to this letter are enclosed with the exceptions noted below.
A home telephone number has been deleted from document 35 pursuant to exemptions (6) and (7)(C) of the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(6) and (7)(iii) of the Commission's regulations because disclosure of this information would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
The remaining portions of this document are enclosed.
Document 37 consists of investigatory records compiled for law enforcement purposes, and is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to exemptions (7)(A) and (D) of the F0IA and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(7)(i) and (iv) because disclosure of the information would interfere with an enforcement proceeding and disclose confidential information furnished by a confidential source.
1 i
The review of documents 12,14,15, 21, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 36 has not been completed.
As soon as our review is completed, we will advise you of our disclosure determination.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 of the Commission's regulations, it has been determined that the information withheld is exempt from production or I
disclosure, and that its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest.
The person responsible for the denial of document 35 is the undersigned.
The persons responsible for the denial of document 37 are the undersigned and Mr. Richard C. DeYoung, Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement.

Mr. Bill Lodge ~
This denial may be appealed to the Comission's Executive Director for Operations within 30 days from the receipt of this letter.
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 Decisica."
At this time the I&E investigation is still continuing, and I expect it will be at least another month or two before it is completed and a final report issued.
With respect to that portion of your request for documents referring to Mr. Rowden, as you were informed in a telephone conversation on April 15, 1982 with Carol Ann Reed, of nly staff, it is reasonable to assume that the files located throughout the various Offices and Divisions of the NRC contain documents relating to this subject.
We cannot, however, short of examining every fi'e possessed by NRC, state with any degree of confidence that all documents relating to it have been located.
In view of the scope and nature of this portion of your request, we conclude that it does not meet the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(3). Accordingly, no further action will be taken with respect to this portion of your request.
If you consider this to be a denial, you may appeal this determination within 30 days to the Executive Director for Operations.
Sin,cerely,
.I
