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 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) correspondence 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 G 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 F01A-86-263 under your name.
Portions of the documents listed on the enclosed Appendix H are being withheld from public disclosure 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. These are drafts of documents or documents which contain advice, opinions and recommendations.
Release of this type of information would tend to inhibit the frank and candid exchange of information in future deliberations and thus would not be in the public interest. The nonexempt portions of the Appendix H documents are being placed in the PDR in folder F01A-86-263.
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. Victor Stello, Jr., Executive Director for Operations.
8608030394 860012 PDR FOIA GARDE 86-80 PDR ,
.. O
)5 Ms. Garde 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 FOIA Decision."
The review of additional documents subject to your requests is continuing. As soon as our review is completed, we will notify you.
