Ms. Susan Hiatt OCRE 8275 Munson Road IN RESPONSE REFER Mentor, OH 44060 TO F01A-84-577
Dear Ms. Hiatt:
This is in further response to your letter dated July ll,1984, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), five separate categories of documents pertaining to the proposed hydrogen control rule.
Appendix A is a list of documents subject to your request which are enclosed. You will be billed separately by our Division of Accounting and Finance in the amount of $14.70, which includes $8.82 for documents provided with our two previous letters plus $5.88 for the enclosed documents.
Appendix B is a list of documents responsive to your request which are being withheld in their entirety as explained herein. These documents do not contain any reasonably segregable factual portions. Documents 1 through 5 are various memoranda and handwritten notes maintained by the Comissioners and their staff. These memoranda and notes contain predecisional advice, opinions, and recommendations, of three technical assistants to the comissioner they advise regarding the Final Hydrogen Control Rule.
Document 6 is a September 1,1983, two-page memorandum for the files from D. Berkowitz, Office of the General Counsel, regarding " Comments on Final Rule Amendments to 10 CFR Part 50 Related to Hydrogen Control."
This memorandum ccntains the predecisional legal analyses, opinions, and recomendations of the Office of the General Counsel. The document reflects the delibarative process within the Office of the General Counsel in its effort to advise the Comission on a proposed rule. All of these documents are exempt from mandatory disclosure 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. Release of these documents would tend to inhibit the open and frank exchange of ideas essential to the deliberative process.
