Appleton, WI 54911 (F01A-87-87)
Dear Ms. Bauman:
1 This is in further response to your letter dated March 20, 1987, in j
which you appealed Mr. Donnie H. Grimsley's response dated March 12, 1
of Information Act (F0IA)ponse denied documents subject to your Freedom
)
1987. Mr. Grimsley's res request for all documents reviewed and/or I
createdbytheComanchePeakReportReviewGroup(CPRRG).
My letter to you dated August 19, 1987, stated that the NRC was contacting the originator of an eight-page document concerning a j
proprietary claim. Westinghouse Electric Corporation's response has l
been received and reviewed, and I have determined that portions of this document will continue to be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption-(4)oftheF0IA(5U.S.C.552(b)(4))and10CFR9,5(a)(4)of l
the Comission's regulations. The nonexempt portions of this document are enclosed.
This document is part of the Westinghouse Mechanical Service Manual, Volume 1 and reveals the distinguishing aspect of a process where its use by a Westinghouse competitor without permission from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage.
Its use by a competitor I
would reduce the expenditure of resources or improve the competitive
?
position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, or assurance of quality of a similar product.
This is a final agency action. AssetforthintheF0IA(5U.S.C.
552(a)(4)(B)), judicial review of this decision is available in a district court of the United States in the district in which you reside i
or have your principal place of business or in the District of Columbia.
Sincerely,

20555 RE:
Appeal of FOIA 87-87 Doir Mr. Stello, This is an appeal pursuant to subsection a(6) of the Freedom of Information Act as amended (5 U.S.C.
522), of the actual denial of the Commission to release documents requested on January 29, 1987 by the Government Accountability Project.
By letter dated March 12, 1987 Donnie H. Grimsley, Director of the Division of Rules and Records, informed us that the documents identified as Appendix A were being withheld from disclosure in their entirety pursuant to FOIA Exemption 5 because they would tend to j
inhibit the open and frank exchange of ideas essential to the deliberative process and the facts are inextricably intertwined with the predecisional information.
We believe we are entitled to the release of the 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.
Please note the i
address change, Sincerely, s.
