<2o2, 332.o,oo October 15, 1987 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST Director, Division of Rules and Records Q[d[M -d7-d f[e Office of Administration U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission y/

Washington, D.C.

20555 RE:

Freedom of,Information Act Request

Dear Director,

Pursuant to the federal Freedom of Information Act, the Union of Concerned Scientists hereby requests the following:

1.

Any report (s) done by the Office of Investigations related to the request by UCS that the NRC investigate whether GPU made l

material false statements relating to the environmental qualification of safety equipment at Three Mile Island, Unit 1.

2.

Any report (s) done by the Office of Inspection and Audit related to UCS's request for an investigation into the staff's conduct in re-iterating without review GPU's unfounded claims regarding environmental qualification.

Please note that both UCS requests for investigations were made as part of a petition filed by UCS pursuant to 10CFR 2.206, l

May 9,

1984.

Harold Denton, then Director of NRR, stated on September 25, 1984, that GPU had made "invalid" statements and that the matter had been referred to OI.

See "Director's Decision Under 10CFR 2.206, September 24, 1984, pp. 32-34."

In addition, Robert Pollard and I were interviewed by George Mulley i

of OIA in the summer of 1984 in regard to the OIA investigation of the NRC staff.

Therefore, it is clear that both investigations were at least begun.

I look forward to your response within ten days, as provided by law.

Very truly yours, s

V Ell'yn
