P. O. Box 680 IN RESPONSE REFER Santa Monica, CA 90406 TO FOIA-87-665
Dear Ms. Sepe:
This is in final response to your letter dated September 28, 1987, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
a report entitled "A Visit to the Mohave Generating Station to Review the Steam Line Rupture," and all underlying data pertaining to said report.
l The enclosed Appendix B identifies a document which is being made available for your inspection and copying at the Public Document Room (PDR). The document will be filed in PDR folder F01A-87-665 under your name. Portions of the document contain information received in confidence by the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) from the owners of the Mohave Generating Station. The NRC was invited to visit the plant after the accident to determine the applicability, if any, between that event and the areas of our regulatory responsibility. The entire event is currently the subject of private litigation. The disclosure of this information could impair the agency's ability to receive similar information in the future and, therefore, it is considered to be proprietary and exempt from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption 4 of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)) and 10 CFR 9.5(b)(4) of 'he Comission's regulatiors.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 of the NRC'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 Dr. Thomas E. Murley, Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
This denial may be appealed to the NRC's Executive Director for Operations within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. As provided i
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 FOIA Decision."
Sincerely, n
Donnie H. Grimsley, Director e801200172 880114 Division of Rules and Records Office of Administration and E8 S

Mr. Donald Grimsley Director, Office of Administration U.S. NRC Washington, D.C.
20055 Re Freedom of Information Act Request
Dear Sir:
This request is made pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act.
I request a copy of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Report entitled "A Visit to the Mohave Generating Station to Review the Steam Line Rupture", and all underlying data pertaining to said report.
The report refers to the rupture of a 30" hot reheat team welded pipe at the coal-fired Mohave Generating Station in Laughlin, Nevada en June 9, 1985.
It is my understanding the document I request is not exampt under exemption (b) 5.
The exemption for internal agency consnuni-cations does not extend to factual materials, documents recounting or reporting fact or scientific results of investigations.
Pursuant to Section (a) (4))F) of the Freedom of Infornation Act I understand reasonable grounds do not exist for withholding the requested documents.
Should the Commission decide to deny and withhold the report entitled "A Visit to the Mohave Generating Station to Review the Steam Line Rupture" I request a detailed statement of the essence of the deleted or withheld items and reasons which justify with-holding of these items.
Please inform me of the reasonable standard enarges for search time and copying fees as provided by regulation to reimburse your offices. I would appreciate phone contact should fees incurred exceed $500.00.
