.....* SEP 2 31986 Mr. John Doherty Nuclear Information and Resource Service 1616 P Street, NW, Suite 160 IN RESPONSE REFER Washington, DC 20036 TO F01A-85-654
Dear Mr. Doherty:
This is in final response to Nina Bell's letter dated September 24, 1985, in which she requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), copies of five categories of records regarding Board Notification 85-081.
Documents in other NRC files are being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (7)(A) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7)(A))
and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(7)(1) of the Commission's regulations because disclosure of the.information 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 shield potential wrongdoing or a violation of- NRC requirements from investigators.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.15 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 person responsible for this denial is Mr. Ben B. Hayes, Director, Office of Investigations.
This denial may be appealed to the Secretary of the Commission within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. Any such appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Secretary of the Commission, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial F0IA Decision."
This completes NRC action on this F0IA request. -
Sincerely, pu Donnie H. Grimsley, Director Division of Rules and Records Office of Administration g 92 g 7 e60723 DOHERTY85-654 PDR
