IN RESPONSE REFER
3424 Marcos Lane
Appleton, WI 54911
Dear Ms. Garde:
This is in response to your letter dated August 25, 1986, in which you
appealed Mr. Donnie H. Grimsley's letter dated July 23, 1986, which denied
twelve documents subject to your Freedom of Information Act (F0IA) request for
documents regarding Inspection Report 50-445/85-18 and 50-446/85-15 on the
Comanche Peak nuclear power plant.
Acting on your appeal, I have carefully reviewed the record in this case and
have determined that some additional information can now be made publicly
available. Therefore, your appeal is partially granted and partially denied.
Document three and portions of docum:nts one, two, four, five, and seven are
now being made publicly available and are enclosed.
Documents six, eight through twelve, and the remaining portions of documents
one, two, four, five, and seven will continue to be withheld from public
disclosure pursuant to Exemption (56 of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5) of the Commission's regulations.
The enclosures to documents one and five and documents eight through twelve
are draft documents which are clearly predecisional because they were prepared
prior to and in the course of reaching final agency decisions. These documents
describe preliminary staff thinking and, therefore, contain preliminary advice,
i
opinions, and recommendations of the staff.
Exemption (5) was intended to
permit the agency's withholding of such documents to preserve the free and
candid internal dialogue necessary for the careful formulation of agency
decisions.
Document six and the remainir.g portions of documents two, four, and seven are
internal documents containing advice and opinions which were predecisional to
the issuance of the inspection report.
Exemption (5) shields from mandatory
disclosure documents generated in the deliberative process that precedes most
decisions of government agencies.
