Dear Mr. Grimsley:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), as amended 5 U.S.C. 552.

I hereby request all records for backfits and/or other safety improvements to improve the ability of the containments to withstand severe accidents (i.e., accidents beyond the design basis) containments in countries other than the United States.for boiling I reserve the Attorney General's right to appeal the withholding or deletion of any material.

As authorized in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations at 10. C.F.R. S 9.14a(a)(2), we believe that furnishing these requested documents without charge to the Massachusetts Department of the Attorney General would be a governmental courtesy appropriate to this request, given the importance of the documents sought and our limitedparticularly budget.

As you know, the FOIA also authorizes you to reduce or waive fees when release of requested information would benefit "the public interest."

As Attorney General for the Commonwealth, we believe the information requested would clearly be in the public interest, searching and reproduction should be waived.and therefore the fees for The documents requested are for the Attorney General's review of the conduct x

of the Boston Edison Company during the recent outage of the 7

Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant.

The Attorney General conducts such a review regarding the reasonableness of the company's actions as part of his representation of Massachusetts consumers before the Massachusetts Department of Public 8712160324 871210 shGleW$40 PDR

Utilities.

Provision of the requested documer.ts with waiver of fee will both facilitate this review process and reduce the cost of providing this governmer.tal service for Massachusetts citizens.

Based on the above and on our limited budget, I therefore request that you waive any fees.

As provided in 10 C.F.R.

S 9.14b(e), I reserve the Attorney General's right to appeal any denial of fee waiver or reduction.

If you have any questions, please call me at 617-727-1083.

Pursuant to the FOIA, I will expect a reply within 10 working days.

Sincerely,

<x Donna Sorgi Chief, Utilities Division Assistant Attorney General Public Protection Bureau (617) 727-1083 I
