Adensam, Chief Log: GN-400 Licensing Branch #4 Division of Licensing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 NRC DOCKET NUMBERS 50-424 AND 50-425 CONSTRUCTION PERMIT NUMBERS CPPR-108 AND CPPR-109 V0GTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT - UNITS 1 AND 2 RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR INFORMATION CONCERNING ARCHAELOGICAL AND HISTORICAL RESOURCES AND STATEMENT OF EXEMPTION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

Dear Mr. Denton:

Members of the NRC licensing recently requested copies of reports prepared by Georgia Power Company's consultants delineating historical and archaelogical properties along proposed transmission line rights-of-way associated with the Vogtle Project. These reports identify sites which may be potentially eligible for nomination for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

Attached are copies of reports which have been completed to date. In addition, also attached are the Draft Cultural Resource Management (CRM) Plans for portions of the transmission system associated with the Vogtle Project.

l This information is being provided with the understanding that it will not be subject to public disclosure. Withholding this information from public ~

i disclosure is necessary to protect these resources and insure their preser-vation. Such withholding is required by Federal law.

Section 9 of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, 16 U.S.C.

l 5 470hh (1983), prohibits public disclosure of information concerning the l nature and location of archaelogical resources on public or Indian lands, l unless the Federal Land Manager determines that disclosure would further the l

purposes of the Act and would not create a risk or harm to such resources.

Section 304 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended,16 U.S.C.

6d 470w-3 (1983), prohibits public disclosure of any information relating to the location or character of historic resources, unless the Commission, after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, determines that disclosure will not create a substantial risk of harm to such resources. Because public disclosure of this information is prohibited by Federal statute, the information is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 9 552(1983). See 5 U.S.C. 6 552(b)(3); 10 C.F.R. S 2.790(a)(3); and 10 C.F.R 9 9.5(a)(3). L,y g g L.V NoT'e'. POR f45 I e40stao412 e40s m N PDR ADOCK 05000424 10TtS, LP R A PDR g g
