. l Public Citizen's Critical Mass Energy Project is a nationally known non-profit public interest organization founded in 1974 Y2 will use these documents in a study we are presently researching and plan to issue on the adequacy of training programs presently in place for nuclear power plant workers. We plan to broadly disseminate the information contained therein to the press and the general public.

Our past publications have attracted attention in the local, national and trade media. Thousands of copies of the reports have been '

sold or distributed to members of the public, industry, and citizen '

groups. Since furnishing these documents "will significantly contribute to public understanding of government opinions or activities" we request a complete waiver of any processing or duplicating costo you might incur in providing these records to us. If you rule otherwise, please notify us before filling the request.

Nothing in this request should be considered a request for the private records of any specific individual. Hence, no provisions of the Privacy Act should be deemed applicable.

If all or any parts of this request are denied, please cite the specific exemptions on which you rely in refusing to release the documents.

i Further, since the Freedom of Information Act provides that the remainder of a file must be released if only portions are exempt from disclosure, we request that we be provided with all non-exempt portions which are reasonably segregable. of course, we reserve our right to appeal the withholding or deletion of any information.

As provided in the Freedom of Information Act, we will expect to rcceive the requested records or a final determination within ten working days. If your office is unable to fully respond to this request in that time, send us a written estimate of when the request will be completed.

If you have any questions about this request, please telephone me at ,

202-546-4996. l Thank you for your attention to this request.
