Dear Ms. Adato:
This is in further response to your letter dated May 1, 1985, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), that six cate-gories of documents that were originated by or pertain to the Office of Investigations be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) located at 1717 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20555.
The additional records listed on the enclosed Appendix A (continued) as items 84 thrnugh 91 are being placed in the PDR in folder F01A-85-334 under your name. Document 91 listed on Appendix A (continued) has been released following the NRC's consultation with the Department of Justice.
The document described in category two of your request is dated August 16, 1983 and is on file in the PDR as Accession No. 8411260158.
Portions of the records listed on the enclosed Appendix B as documents B1 e through B5, and documents C1 through C9, and C13 and C14 listed on the enclosed Appendix C, in their entirety, contain information which constitutes advice, opinions and recommendations of the staff. The documents pertain to possible staffing plans for the Office of Investigations and other predenisional matters.
This information is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (5) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5) of the Consnission's regulations. The documents listed on Appendix C do not contain any reasonably segregable factual portions.
Portions of document B5, and documents C10 through C12 in their entirety, are investigatory records compiled for law enforcement purposes, and the disclosure of this information would interfere with an enforcement proceeding. Release of this information could allow those being investigated to learn the scope, direction, and focus of investigatory efforts, and thus could possibly allow them to take action to shield potential wrongdoing or a violation of NRC requirements from investigators. This information is 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.
Document C2 also contains a name the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, and it is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (6) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6))
and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(6) of the Commission's regulations.
