Tayloe Associates 1625 I Street, NW, Suite 1004 IN RESPONSE REFER l Washington, DC 20006 TO F0IA-84-734 l
Dear Ms. Riley:
t This is in further response to your letter of September 12, 1984, in which you requestei, pursuant to the Freedom of Infomation Act (F0IA), documents related to selected NRC contracts for court reporter services.
We previously made available documents identified in a letter to you dated i November 15, 1984, and December 14, 1984.
The records identified on the enclosed Appendix C are now available for public inspection and copying at the NRC Public Document Room.
- Note that portions of item 7 on Appendix C have been withheld from public disclosure, pursuant to Exemptions 4 and 5 of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (5)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4) and (5) of the Commission's regulations, as noted on the document. This document contains (1) financial cost and pricing information related to performance of stenographic reporting services, the disclosure of which could cause competitive harm to the companies which provided the information; and (2) predecisional infomation containing advice, opinions, and recommendations, the disclosure of which would inhibit the candid and frank communication within the NRC staff and thus would not be in the public interest.
The one document identified on Appendix D is being withheld in its entirety pursuant to Exemption 5 of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5) of the Commission's regulations. The document contains advice and recommendations of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel with regard to the review of anticipated submissions by bidders under Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. SECY-84-327. The disclosure of this document would inhibit candid and frank communication within the NRC staff and thus would not be in the public interest.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 and 9.15 of the Commission's regulations, it has been determined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure, and that its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest. The persons responsible for the denial of portions of item 7 on Appendix C are the undersigned and Mr. Edward L. Halman, Director, Division of Contracts, Office of Administration. The person responsible for the denial of the document on Appendix D is Mr. B. Paul Cotter, Jr., Chief Administrative Judge, Atomic Safety Licensing Board Panel.

The denial by Mr. Halman and myself may be appealed to the Executive Director l for Operations within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. Any such !
appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Executive Director for Operations, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial F0IA Decision." The denial by Mr. B. Paul Cotter, Jr., may be appealed within 30 days to the Commission and should be addressed to the Secretary of the Comission.
The staff has also identified a bid and associated docunents relating to a submission under IFR SECY-84-327 from a firm which subsequently withdrew its bid. Please let us know by February 15, 1985, if you wish to have these
~
documents considered for release under ycur request. Otherwise, we will consider these documents to be outside the scope of F0!A-84-734.

The staff is reviewing additional records subject to your request. We will notify you upon completion of this review.
