FREEDOM OF IN70RXATION A.pT REQUEST l
Dear Mr. Grinsley:
I Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 5 9.23(b) (1989), I hereby request one (1) Copy of (a) COMKC-90-19 (dated-November 8, 1990) consisting of or relating to guidance given to the NRC Staff regarding various issues in one or more stages of the proposal to deconmission the Shoreha:n Nuclear Power Station, and (b) all other records consisting of, r,equests for guidance and/or guidance to NRC personnel relating to the proposaT to decommission
~
Shoreham in p-articular and/or Shoreham and one or more of Rancho Seco and Fort St. Vrain which records () were~ generated after January 1, 1989 jluld (2) have not yet been placed-in the Public Document Room or published in the Federal Register.
INTENT TO PAY EEES I do not believe that the scarch for the requestod records should exceed two hours or that the records are in excess of 100 pages and, therefore, I do not believe that there will be any charge for the requested search and records, pursuant to 10 C.F.R. ) 9.39(b)&(c) (1989).
However, if there are fees to be chirged, I hereby indicate my willingness to pay such foes in c.....-m e..... c o.m

page 2 charged, I hereby indicate my willingness to pay such foes in accord with 10 c.F.R. 5 9.40(a) (1989) so that the search for the records and their release ray proceed as expeditiously as possible.
REQUESTJOR FEE WAT.dB If fees vould otherwisc be charged, I also request waiver or reduction of the fees, pursuant to 10 C.F.R.
I 9.41 (1989), on the basis that the records vill be used to further the public understanding of the Commission's actions in connection with Shoreham and to aid the participation of the Shoreham-Wading River Central School District
(" School District") (which is a state created entity) and Scientists and Engineers for Secure Energy, Inc. ("SE ")
(which is a 501(c) (3) tax exempt j
2 organization) in participation in proceedings related to the Shorchan Plant.
It is difficult to doucribe precisely.the likely inpact i
on the public understandir.g of the subject without seeing the j
records themselvos; however, their availability will surely j
inprove public understanding of the Commission's processes and j
position on the Shoreha= issues.
The public affected here, in addition to the School and its District, its Board, empicyees and students and SE2 l
morters, are all of the people of Long Island who would benefit i
from the supply electricity from Shoreham and whose electric l
supply and reliability may be damaged by the absence of the l
Shoreham Plant.
The intended scans for dissemination to the general public includes the furnishing of the records to NRC Licensing Boards and the Federal Courts considering various proceedings on the question of whether Shoreham should be decommissioned.
Public access to the infor ation would be provided free of charge.
There is no cozmercial or private interest which I, the School District, or SE have in those records.
2 EECORDS NOT EXEMET I do not believe that the requested records are exempt from public disclosure pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 5 9.17(a) (1989).
I also suggest that these records should be made available to the public in accordance with 10 C.F.R. 5 9.21(c) (2) and (4) as (i) statements of policy and interpretations which have been adopted by the NRC and have not been published in the Federal Register and/or (ii) instructions to NRC personnel that affect a member of y
1 the public.
See Memorandum for the Commissioners from Ja=es M.

Page 3 Taylor, subject: Plant closure Activitics (November 9, 1990)
(identifying COMKC-90-19 as part of the "provious staff guidance").

, COMMUNICATIONS If any clarification.cn: additional Information is required, please call ne at (202) 857-2929.
