Dear Mr. Roisman-

\

This is in reply to your letter of December 4,1986, to Mr. Victor Stello, requesting the production of a recently issued report prepared by the NRC Office of Inspector and Auditor relating to Region IV's activities in regard to the Comanche Peak facility. Your request for the report and its associated attachments, drafts, depositions and documents, was made pursuant to 10 C.F.R. I 2.744. The subject report was forwarded to the Commission by OIA on November 26, 1986.

Independent of your request, the staff is reviewing the report to decide whether, in accordance with the Commission's Board Notification procedures, it should be provided to the Board and parties in the ongoing Comanche Peak licensing proceeding. This letter, a copy of which is being sent to the Board and other parties in this proceeding, constitutco the staff's response to your discovery request as well as the initial discharge of the staff's Board Notification obligations.

Because of the nature of the report, approval to release the report and any of the associated material must be given by the Commission. In this regard, the Chairman of the NRC has directed that the Executive Director for Operations and the Office of the General Counsel review the report in its entirety cnd recommend appropriate action. Accordingly, the Commission will be advised of your request as well' as of the staff's views regarding its relevance.' Prior to doing so, however, it will be necessary to review the report as well as the voluminous associated material to determine whether any of the contents should be withheld from disclosure to prevent any unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, to protect confidential sources and/ori to permit the NRC to take any management actions which may be warranted as a result of the findings of the report.

The staff has commenced its review and intends to proceed promptly on this matter.
