Dear Ms. Fowler:
This is in further response to your letter dated January 15, 1986, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Infonnation Act (F0IA), all documents related to the NRC investigation into the complaints of Susan Register, Leslie Price, and James B. Register regarding alleged illegal and improper procedures and practices at the Vogtle plant located in Waynesboro, Georgia.
Port. ions of the 13 documents listed on the enclosed Appendix B have been deleted in order to prevent disclosure of personal home addresses and telephone numbers. Because disclosure of this information would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, it is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (6) of the FOIA (5 USC 552(b)(6)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(6) of the Commission's regulations.
The documents listed on the enclosed Appendix C are records compiled for law enforcement purposes and are being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (7)(A) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7)(A) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(7)(i) of the Commission's regulations. Disclosure of the information would interfere with an enforcement proceeding.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 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 persons responsible for this denial are the undersigned and Dr. J. Nelson Grace, Regional Administrator, NRC Region II.
The NRC has not completed its search for and review of documents subject to your request. We will respond as soon as those actions are completed.
Sincerely, bk AO[v b
