The New Hampshire Attorney General is a participant in the NRC Operating License Proceedings for the Seabrook Nuclear Facility and has an immediate interest in obtaining all available information which relates to the health and safety of the citizens of New Hampshire. Because the above information can be considered primarily as benefiting the general public, it is our opinion that it would be appropriate in this case for the NRC to waive copying charges pursuant to 5 U.S.C., Section 552(a)(4)(A) and 10 C.F.R., 9.14(a).

We understand that, under the Freedom of Information Act, you must respond to this request within ten (10) working days and that your failure to respond within that period of time is considered to be a denial of the request. Please notify me immediately if you cannot or will not respond within that time period. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Very truly yours, "vr*
