Dear Mr. Aftergood:
This is in respense to' jour letter dated August 13, 1985, in which you
~
requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), copies of two reports prepared by the NRC's Office of Inspector and Auditor dealing with the NRC's reactor safeguards program.
The two documents identified on the enclosed Appendix are bcing withheld from disclosure pursuant to Exemption 5 of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and 10 CFR 9.5(5) of the Commissica's regulations because these documents are critical, self-evaluati.ve reports prepared by the Office of Inspector and Auditor on the NRC's reactor safeguards program. There are no reasonably segregable portions becaase release of the facts would permit an indirect inquiry into the predecisional process of the agency.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 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 person responsible for denial of the two reports identified on the Appendix is Mr. John C. Hoyle, Assistant Secretary of the Comission.
This denial may be appealed to the Secretary of the Commission within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. Any such appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Secretary of the Comission, 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 F0M Decision."
Sincerely,
$&Y wd 3 Donnie H. Grimsley, Director Division of Rules and Records Office of Administration
