00y Q Ms. Stephanie Murphy Nuclear Information and Resource Service IN RESPONSE REFER 1616 P Street, NW, Suite 160 TO F01A-86-167 AND Washington, DC 20036 86-A-45(85-358)
Dear Ms. Murphy:
This is in response to your letter dated March 11, 1986, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), records generated since F0IA-85-358 or records not addressed in NRC's response to F01A-85-358 which contain (1) allegations made by Frank Peguese regarding construction defects, improper procedures, poor quality assurance or other complaints against the Shearon Harris nuclear plant and (2) instances or allegetions of water leakage and other specified subjects regarding the Shearon Harris site. This letter also responds to your March 25, 1986 letter appealing the NRC's response of February 14, 1986, to your organization's previous request (F01A-85-358) on these same matters.
For your information, inasmuch as F01A-85-358 specifies technical matters, it was interpreted as a request regarding technical issues.
Upon recefpt of,
F01A-86-167, we again contacted technical staff offices and were informed that they have no records not already located in the NRC's Public Document Room and identified in NRC's response to F01A-85-358. As a result of the connents in your letter dated March 25, 1986 (86-A-45) that, "the NRC licensing board Called for an investigation into these allegations," we reviewed the records identified at numbers 19 and 20 on Appendix A of our February 14, 1986, response letter for F01A-85-358 and note that a letter from Mr. Peguese was forwarded to the Office of Investigations (01) for inclusion in 01's investigation of harassment at the Shearon Harris plant.
Documents maintained by 01 are being withheld in their entirety pursuant to Exemption (7)(A) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7)(A)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(7)(1) of the Conmission'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.

.o Ms. Murphy 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."
