IN RESPONSE REFER
3424 Marcos Lane
TO FOIA-86-A-177
Appleton, WI 54911
Dear Ms. Garde:
This is in response to your letter dated September 11, 1986, which appealed
Mr. Donnie H. Grimsley's letter dated August 21, 1986, which denied fourteen
documents subject to your Freedom of Information Act (F0IA) request for
documents regarding Inspection Report 85-16/85-13 regarding the Comanche Peak
nuclear power plant.
Acting on your appeal, I have carefully reviewed the record in this case and
have determined that some additional information can now be made publicly
available. Therefore, your appeal is partially granted and partially denied.
Portions of documents twelve and fourteen listed on the enclosed appendix can
now be made publicly available and are enclosed. Documents one through eleven,
thirteen, and the remaining portions of documents twelve and fourteen listed
on the enclosed appendix will continue to be withheld from public disclosure
pursuant to Exemption (5) of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5)
of the Commission's regulations.
Documents one, two, three, and fourteen are inter'nal documents containing advice
and opinions which were predecisional to the issuing of the inspection report.
Exemption (5) shields from mandatory disclosure documents generated in the
deliberative process that precedes most decisions of government agencies.
Documents four through eleven, twelve, and thirteen, are draft documents which
are clearly predecisional because they were prepared prior to a..a in the course
of reaching a final agency decision. These documents describe preliminary staff
thinking and, therefore, contain preliminary aivice, opinions, and recommendations
of the staff in the deliberative process of determining proper actions regarding
the Comanche Peak plant.
Exemption (5) was intended to permit the agency's
withholding of such documents to preserve the free and candid internal dialogue
necessary for the careful formulation of agency decisions.
