Dear Ms. Garde:
This is in further response to your letters dated February 3, February 10, February 17, February 24, March 3, March 10, March 17, March 24, and March 31, 1986, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), documents generated or prepared by Victor Stello since his appointment as Acting Executive Director for Operations. In a telephone conversation with Carol Ann Reed of my staff en January 28, 1986, you narrowed the scope of your previcus reauests for the same types of dccuments to 1) handwritten and typed notes of Victor Stello; 2) notes and correspondence dictated by V. Stello; 3) records reflecting V. Stello's cecisions and connents and the records upon which the decisions and comments were basec; 4) corre-spondcnce and other records prepared by V. Stello's staff which carry out a V. Stello directive; and 5) SECY papers signed by V. Stello. Therefore, these reouests have been processed using these same guidelines.
The document listeo on the enclosed Appendix I is being placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR),1717 H Street, NW, Washington, DC. You may obtain access by presenting a copy of this letter to the PDR staff or by requesting PDR folder F0IA-86-263 under your name.
Portions of the document listed on the enclosed Appendix J and the documents listed on the enclosed Appendix K are being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to the exeniptions noted next to the document listings on the enclosed appendices. The nonexempt portion of the Appendix J document is being placed in the PDR folder F01A-86-263.
- Information withnelo pursuant to Exemption (5) consists of drafts or other documents containing the preliminary advice, opinions, and reconmendations of members of the staff. Release of this type of information would tend to 4 inhibit the frank and candid exchange of ir. formation in future deliberations and thus would not be in the public interest. There are no reasonably 4 segregable factual portions because release of the facts would permit an indirect inquiry into the predecisional process of the agency. The information is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (5) of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5) of the Consnission's regulations.
Information withheld pursuant to Exemption (7)(A) consists of investigatory records compiled for law enforcement purposes the release of which would interfere with an ongoing 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 8608270246 860825 PDR FOIA GARDE 86-80 PDR r

Pursuant to 10 CFk 9.15 of the Ccomission's regulations, it had been cetermined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure and that its productier. or disclosure is contrary to the public interest. The person
- respor.sible for the denial of portions of the Appendix J document is Mr. Victor Stello, Jr., Executive Director for Operations. The person responsible for the denial of the Appendix K documents is Mr. Ben b. Hayes, Director, Office of
. Investigations.
! This denial may be appealed to the Secretary of the Commission within 30 days frcm the receipt of this letter. Any such appeal must be in writing, addressed
)- to the Secretary of the Connission. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, i
Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an "Appeel frcm an Initial F0IA Decision."
