i Shizuoka University IN RESPONSE REFER Department of Engineering TO FOIA-93-A-3 4
5-1 Johoku 3 chome (FOIA-92-574)
Hamamatsu 432, Japan l
Dear Dr. Komura:
l 2
This letter responds to your March 3, 1993, appeal of the agency's j
denial of the document identified on Appendix A in our February 16, 1993, response to FOIA-92-574.
i I
Acting on your appeal, I have carefully. reviewed the record in this j
case and have determined that this report still requires withholding from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (4) of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552 (b) (4) and 10 CFR 9.17 (a) (4)) of the Commission's regulations.
Therefore, your appeal is denied.
\\
This denied record contains information voluntarily submitted in confidence from a foreign source.
Under these conditions, the document is protected from mandatory disclosure and can be withheld I
because disclosure would impair the Government's ability to obtain necessary information in the future.
A breach of understanding between the NRC and a. foreign source could in the future inhibit the free flow of information to the NRC and could interfere with our mission.
i This is a final agency action on your appeal.
As set forth in the i
FOIA (5 U.S.C.
552 (a) (4) (B) ), judicial-review of an adverse decision is available to a requester in a district court of the United-States in the district in which the requester resides, has his/her principal place of business, or in the District of Columbia.
