Duke Power Company Legal Department P.O. Box 33189 IN RESPONSE REFER Charlotte, NC 28242 TO F01A-85-584
Dear Mr. Carr:
This is the seventh partial response to your letter dated August 19, 1984, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), copies of all records related to and underlying Enforcement Action No. EA-84-93 regarding the Catawba Nuclear Station.
The records identified on the enclosed Appendix Y are being placed in the l
Public Document Room (PDR) in Washington, DC, and the NRC Local Public Document Room (LPDR) in South Carolina. You may obtain access to these records by referring to the folder F01A-85-584 under your name.
The records identified on the enclosed Appendix Z are already available for public inspection and copying at the NRC PDR,1717 H Street, Washington, DC 20555. The PDR accession numbers are identified beside the record l
descriptions.
- The records identified on Appendix AA are being denied in their entirety. The records identified on Appendices BB and CC are being withheld in part. The nonexempt portions of the records identified on Appendices BB and CC are being placed in the PDR and LPDR. The applicable FOIA exemptions are noted on the Appendices.
The records withheld pursuant to Exemption (5) contain predecisional infor-mation consi~ sting of advice, opinions, and recommendations of the staff.
Release of the records would tend to inhibit the open and frank exchange of ideas essential to the deliberative process. This predecisional information is being withheld pursuant to Exemption (5) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5))
and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5) of the Commission's regulations. There are no reasonably segregable factual portions of the records identified on Appendix AA.
Information being withheld pursuant to Exemption (7)(D) consists of names of individuals and personal identifiers. Because this information consists of the identities of confidential sources, it is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (7)(D) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7)(D))
and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(7)(iv) of the Commisdon's regulations.

Pursuant to.10 CFR 9.9 and 9.15 of the Commission's regulations, it has been detennined 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 documents one through thirteen and certain portions of document fourteen identified on Apendix AA and portions of the records withheld on Appendix BB are the undersigned and Mr. J. Nelson Grace, Regional Administrator, Region II. The person respon-sible for the denial of the handwritten portions of document fourteen identi-fied on Appendix AA is Mr. Guy H. Cunningham, Executive Legal Director. The person responsible for the denial of a portion of the record identified on Appendix CC is Mr. Gary J. Edles, Acting Director, Office of Inspector and Auditor.
The denial by Mr. Grace and n:yself may be appealed to the Executive Director for 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. 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." The denials by Messrs. Cunningham and Edles may be appealed within 30 days to the Secretary of the Commission and should be addressed to the Secretary of the Commission.
The staff has informed us upon further review of the records that the vote sheets denied in Mr. Grimsley's letter dated December 26, 1985, identified at Appendix J, document eleven, are outside the scope of this request.
We will communicate with you further regarding additional records subject to your F0IA request.
Sincerely, wY Donnie H. Grimsley, Director t Division of Rules and Records l
