F0IA APPEALS 86-A-166C-173C Cear Ms. Garde:
My October 6,1986 letter to you concerning your August 25, 1986 F0IA appeal from F0IA 86-80, -82, -126, -127, -131, -166, -201, -209, and
-263 inadvertently omitted reference to Document F9. The sentence in my October 6 letter which stated "I also affirm the withholding in their entirety of documents F3 F4 and F5 for the reasons set forth in the initial response," should have read "I also affirm the withholding in their entirety of documents F3, F4, F5, and F9 for the reasons set forth in the initial response."

Dear Mr. Stello:
fb-A-/93c. (96-zei)
This is an appeal pursuant to subsection a(6) of the Freedom of Information Act as amended (5 U.S.C.
522), of the actual denial of the Commission to release documents, requested on February 3, 10, 17, 24 and March 10,17, 24 and 31,198 6 by the Government Accountability Project.
By letter dated August 12, 1986, Donnie Grimsley, Director of the Division of Rules and Records informed us that:
portions of 2 documents and 2 entire documents are being withheld pursuant to FOI A Exemption 2 because they consist of information related solely to internal personnel rules and practices of the NRC; portions of 1 document are being withheld pursuant to FOIA Exemp-tion 4 because it consists of information submitted and received in confidence from a foreign source; portions of 20 documents and 5 entire documents are being withheld pursuant to FOIA Exemption 5 because they consist of drafts and other documents containing preliminary advice, opinions and recommendations; portions of 5 documents and 2 entire documents are being withheld pursuant to FOIA Exemption 6 because they consist of personal information.
We believe we are entitled to the documents and portions of documents being withheld.
At a minimum there should be portions of the documents withheld in their entirety which are releasable.
We expect your response to this appeal within 20 working days of your receipt so that we can determine whether to pursue this matter further in the courts.

Hs. Billie Pirner Garde Citizens Clinic Director IN RESPONSE REFER Government Accountability Project TO F01As-86-80, 85-82,86-126, 1555 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 202 86-127,86-131, 86-166,86-201, Washington, DC 20036 86-209, AND 86-263 I
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 on January 28, 1986, you narrowed the scope of your previous requests for the same types of documents to 1) handwritten and typed notes of Victor Stello; 2) notes and correspondence l
dictated by V. Stello; 3) records reflecting V. Stello's decisions and comments and the records upon which the decisions and comments were based; 4) correspon-dence 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 requests have been processed using these same guidelines..
The documents listed on the enclosed Appendix D are 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 F0!A-86-263 under your name.
Portions of the documents listed on the enclosed Appendix E and the documents listed on the enclosed Appendix F are being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to the exemptions noted next to each document on the enclosed appendices.
The nonexempt portions of the Appendix E documents are being placed in the PDR.
j F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(2)) public. disclosure pursuant to Exemption (E Information withheld fecm and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(2) of the Commission's regulations l
consists of information related solely to internal persennel rules and practices of this agency.

Ms. Garde '
FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(pursuant to Exemption (4) of the Ir. formation. withheld frcm public disclosure
- 4) of the Commission's regulations consists of information submitted and received in confidence from a foreign scurce. Under these conditions the documents are protected from mandatory public disclosure under the alternative test set out in National parks and Conservation Association v. Morton, 498 F.2d 765 (D.C. Cir. 1974). Under that test, a record can be withheld because disclosure would impair the Government's ability to obtain necessary information in the future.
It is our view that a breach of understanding between the NRC and a foreign source could in the future inhibit the free flow of information to the NRC and could interfere with our mission.
FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(pursuant to Exemption (5) of th Information withheld from public disclosure
- 5) of the Commission's regulations consists of drafts and other documents containing preliminary advice, opinions.
and recommendations.
Release of this type of information would tend to inhibit the frank and candid exchange of information in future deliberation and thus would not be in the public interest.
FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(pursuant to Exemption (6) o Information withheld from public disclosure 6) of the Coamission's regulations consists of personal information the release of which would cause a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 and 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 persons responsible for the denial of document E-27 are the undersigned and Mr. Robert B. Minogue, Director, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research. The person responsible for the denial of documents E-1, E-2, E-3, E-13 E-14, F-1, F-2, F-4, F-7, F-8 and F-9 is Mr. John C. Hoyle, Assistant Secretary of the Commission. The person responsible for the denial of documents E-4 through E-12, E-15, E-16 E-17, E-19 through E-26, E-28, F-3, F-5, and F-6 is Mr. Victor Stello, Jr., Executive Director for Operations.
The person responsble for the denial of document E-18 is Mr. Guy H. Cunningham, Deputy General Counsel.
e e
p
Ms. Garde The denial by Mr. Minogue and myself may be appealed to the Executive Director fcr Operations within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. Any such appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Executive Director for Operations, U.S.
fiuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial FOIA Decision." The denials by Messrs Cunningham, Hoyle, and Stello may be appealed within 30 days to the Secretary of the Commission and shculd be addressed to the Secretary of the Commission.
The review of additional documents subject to your requests is continuing. As scan as our review is completed, we will notify you.
Sincerely,
