Mr. Dave Airozo Assistant Editor OCT 2 21986 McGraw-Hill Nuclear Publications 1120 Vermont Avenue, NW Suite 1200 IN RESPONSE REFER Washington, DC 20005 TO F01A-86-649

Dear Mr. Airozo:

This is in partial response to your letter dated August 29, 1986, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), records related to several matters among_which were records related to the investigation of all EE0 complaints filed by an employee of the Office of Inspector and Auditor against several employees of the Office of Inspector and Auditor.

The documents listed on enclosed Appendix A and portions of the documents listed on enclosed Appendix C have been placed in the NRC Public Document Room, 1717 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20555, in folder F0IA-86-85 under the name of Billie Garde.

All of the documents identified on enclosed Appendix B and portions of the documents identified on Appendix C are being withheld pursuant to the F0IA Exemptions identified for each document on the appendices.

With regard to the information withheld pursuant to Exemption (5) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and the Commission's regulations at 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5),

documents 23 and 24 of Appendix B are being withheld under the deliberative process privilege. They reflect predecisional advice, opinions and recommen-dations of the General Counsel's Office to the Comission concerning a matter under investigation. Release of this information would tend to inhibit the open and frank exchange of ideas essential to the deliberative process.

Documents 20 and 21 of Appendix B are draft documents and therefore also withholdable. Additionally, document 48 of Appendix B is being withheld under the attorney-client privilege. It contains confidential communications between an attorney and his client, the Comission, on a legal matter for which the Commission has sought professional advice.

The F0IAinformation being(withheld (5 U.S.C. 552(b) 6) and (7)(C)) pursuant and thetoCommission's Exemptions regulations (6) and (7)(C) at 10ofCFR the 9.5(a)(6) and (7)(111) consists of names and identifying details the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.15 of the Comission's regulations, it has been determined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure and that 8610240387 861022 PDR FOIA AIROZOB6-649 PDR

(

Mr. Dave Airozo Page 2 its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest. The person responsible for this denial is C. Sebastian Aloot, Senior Attorney, Office of the General Counsel.

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 Comission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial F0IA Decision."

Sincerely,

  1. W Donnie H. Grimsley, Director Division of Rules and Records Office of Administration
