Dear Ms. Bell:

This is the final response to your letter dated September 23, 1985, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), four categories of documents related to quality control at the Callaway nuclear power plant.

' The 36 documents listed on the enclosed Appendix D are being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemptions (5) and (7)(A) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C.

552(b)(5) and (7)(A)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5) and (7)(i) of the Comission's regulations. The documents contain predecisional advice, opinions, and recomendations of the staff, and disclosure would interfere with an enforcement proceeding.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 of the Comission'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 this denial are the undersigned and Mr. James M.

Taylor, Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement.

This denial may be appealed to the Comission's Executive Director for Operations within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. As provided in 10 CFR 9.11, any such appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Executive Director for Operations, 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 F0IA Decision."

Sincerely, h.
