Pursuant to and in compliance with 10 C.F.R. 9.41 of the Commission's regulations governing requests for waiver of fees, the Nuclear Information and Resource
- Service, herein after referred to as NIRS, puts forth the following information.
NIRS seeks the requested information solely to contribute to and help shape the public debate on nuclear issues.
NIRS intends to use the information in order to advance the concerns for public understanding and safety.
NIRS is qualified to make use of the requested information.
The staff has demonstrated the abil.ity to interpret information and communicate that information in a form comprehensible to the general public.
Members of the NIRS staff have published articles in such national journals as The Proaressive, Nuclear Times, Newsday and The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.
NIRS has a working relationship with physicists, engineers, medical doctors and other respected professionals who contribute T
to the full understanding of technical records.
The information sought by NIRS, is not, to the best of our knowledge, in the public domain.
The general public has displayed great interest in nuclear issues and the requested information will certainly increase the public's understanding of this matter.
NIRS has demonstrated its ability and commitment to inform the public on all important nuclear issues.
NIRS regularly publishes a trade journal for which this informaticn will be of
- use, the liuclear Monito_r.
Since 1978, N1RS has been providing information on nuclear issues to the public, the press, members of Congress, state and local government officials as well as x
hundreds of citizens groups across the country.
NIRS provides this information free of charge and has neither a commercial nor a private interest in the cgency records sought.
Under the amended fee waiver standard, NIRS is clearly entitled to a full waiver of dl search, review and duplication E
fees.
This standard calls for such a waiver, "if disclosure of the information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to the public understanding of the operation or activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester." 5 U.S.C.
552 (a) (4)
(A) (iii).
In light of the foregoing, NIRS' request meets this standard on its face.
NIRS has no commercial interest in this matter, but rather socks this information to help the general public better understand the role of government in regulating the nuclear industry.
For all the reasons cited
- above, NIRS' request falls squarely within the Congressional intent in enacting the Freedom of Informe'. ion Act and the fee waiver provision.
We, therefore, ask that the Commission grant a
full waiver for this FOIA request.

me.
