&om Ms. Lynn Cunningham The Times-Picayune Publishing Corporation 3800 Howard Avenue IN RESPONSE REFER New Orleans, LA 70140-1097 TO FOIA-85-188

Dear Ms. Cunningham:

-This is in response to your letter dated March 18, 1985, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a list of all Office of Investigations reviews, reports, or investigations regarding the Waterford Unit 3 nuclear plant.

The requested list is enclosed.

Portions of the enclosed document have been deleted. Where an entire entry has been deleted, that entry pertains to a facility other than Waterford Unit 3 and is therefore outside the scope of your request.

Other portions of the document are being withheld from public disclosure because they pertain to ongoing investigations on Waterford Unit 3. Release of this information could allow those being investigated to learn the scope, direction, and focus of investigatory efforts, and thus could possibly allow them to take action to shield potential wrongdoing or a violation of NRC requirements from investigators. This infomation is being withheld pursuant to Exemption (7)(A) of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7)(A)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(7)(1) of the Comission's regulations.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.15 of the Comission's regulations, it has been detemined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure and that its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest. The person responsible for this denial is Mr. Ben B. Hayes, Director, Office of Investigations.

This denial may be appealed to the Comission within 30 days from the i receipt of this letter. Any such appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Secretary of the Comission, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial FOIA Decision."

Sincerely, J. M. Felton, Director Division of Rules and Records Office of Administration

Enclosure:
