Dear Mr. Stello:

l This is an appeal pursuant to subsection a(6) of the Freedom i of Information Act as amended (5 U.S.C. 522), of the actual denial of the Commission to release documents requested on January 21, 1985 by the Government Accountability Project (GAP) regarding the Comanche Peak Task Force established in March 1984.

By letter dated June 25, 1986, Mr. Donnie Grimsley, 1 Director of the Division of Rules and Records advised us that of 1 the 332 QA/QC documents described on Appendix G, portions of 187 documents were being withheld pursuant to FOIA Exemption 5 1 because they contain the advice, opinions and recommendations of the staff concerning potential violations.

In addition, Mr. Grimsley advised us that portions of 13 documents and 73 documents in their entirety were being withheld pursuant to an agreement reached. between the NRC staf f and myself l

, at a meeting on May 8, 1985, that information concerning allegers, interviewees and other individuals would be protected from disclosure. Please be advised that our agreement applied only to allegers. To the extent the withheld documents relate '

to anyone but allegers, we appeal their denied release. l We believe we are entitled to release of the documents and portions of documents being withheld.

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.

Thank you for your consideration of this appeal.

Sincerely, hd f% h wCa Billie Pirner Garde Director, Environmental Whistleblower Clinic
