(criginal to source o nformation, NRC to retain sig* ' cory of dur.licatt original).

I have information that I wish to provide in confidence to the U. S. Nuclear ,

Reculatory Commission (NRC). I request an express pledge of confidentiality as

  • a condition of providing this information to the NRC. I will not provide this information voluntarily to the NRC without such confidentiality bei'ng extended to me.
  • s . ,

It is my understanding, consistent with its legal obligations, the NRC, by .

agreeing to this conf.identiality, will adhere to the following conditions:

(1 ) The NRC will not identify me by r.ame or personal. identifier in any HRC

~ initiated document, conversation, or communication released to the public which relates directly to the information provided by me. I understa'nd the term "public release" to encompass any distribution outside of the NRC with the exception of other public agencies which may require this information in

' futherance of their responsibilities under law or public trust. _

(2) The NRC will disclose my identity within the NRC only to the extent ,

required for the cqnduct of NRC related activities. .

(3) During the course of the inquiry or investigation the NRC will also make every effort consistent with the investigative needs of the Commission to avoid actions which would clearly be expected to result in~ the disclosure of my identity to persons subsequently contacted by the NRC. At a later stage I understand that even though the NRC will make every reasonable effort to protect my identity, -

my identification could be compelled by orders; or subpoenas issued by courts of law, hearing boards, or similar legal entities. In such cases,' the basis for .

granting this promise of confidentiality and any other relevant facts will be com .unicated to the authority ordering the disclosure in an effort to maintain &

my confidentiality. If this effort proves unsuccessful, a representative of the NRC will attempt to inform me of any su.ch action beforefisgl,osingfmyv identity.

1 aise understand that the NRC will consider me to have waived my.right to confidentiality if I t.ake, any action that may be reasonably expected to disclose my identity. I further understand that the NRC will consider me to have waived my rights to confidentiality if,I.. provide (or Aave previo6 sly p'rdvided) information

,. ic any otner party that contradicts the info'rr.ation that I provides to the NEC or if circumstances indicate that I am intentionally providing false information l to the NRC. .

Other Conditions: (if any) ,
