Ms. Linda Bauman DEC 2 81987 Government Accountability Project Midwest Office IN RESPONSE REFER 104 E. Wisconsin Avenue TO F01A-87-A-104 Appleton, WI 54911 (F01A-84-21)

Dear Ms. Bauman:

This is in response to your letter dated November 19, 1987, in which you appealed Mr. Donnie H. Grimsley's response dated November 16, 1987.

Mr. Grimsley's response denied portions of ten documents subject to your Freedom of Information Act (F0IA) request for documents in connection with the Safety Evaluation Report related to the operation of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Supplement No. 21.

Acting on your appeal, I have carefully reviewed the record in this case and have determined that the previously withheld information will continue to be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (6) of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(6) of the Commission's regulations. Your appeal is, therefore, denied.

The withheld information consists of the names, dates of birth, and social security account numbers of employees of the Diablo Canyon power plant. I am unable to identify any legitimate public interest in the release of this information which outweighs the privacy interests of the individuals.

This is a final agency action. As set forth in the FOIA (5 U.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 or have your principal place of business or in the District of Columbia.

Sincerely,

/

Washington, D.C. 20555 To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOI A), 5 U.S.C. 5552, the Government Accountability Project (GAP) of the Institute for Policy Studies, requests copies of any and all agency records and information, including but not limited to notes, i letters, memoranda, drafts, minutes, diaries, logs, calendars, tapes, transcripts, summaries, interview reports, procedures,. instructions, engineering analyses, draw-ings, files, graphs, charts, maps, photographs, agreements, handwritten notes, studies, data sheets, notebooks, books, telephone messages, computations, voice recordings, and any other data compilations, interim and/or final reports, status reports, and any and all other records relevant to and/or generated in connection with the Safety Evaluation Report related to the operation of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, NUREG-0675, Supplement No. 21 (December,1983)

("SSER 21 ") . This includes, but is not linited to, any and all NRR regulations, calculations, and judgments used to evaluate any of the allegations referred to in SSER 21. We request that each responsive document be identified by the allega-tion number (s) to which it may relate.

If any of the material covered by this request has been destroyed and/or removed, please provide all surrounding documentation, including but not limited to a des-cription of the action (s) taken, relevant date(s), and justification (s) for the action (s).

GAP requests that fees be waived, because " finding information can be considered as primarily benefitting the general public," 5 U.S.C. 5552(a)(4)(A). The Government Accountability Project is a non-profit, non-partisan public interest organization concerned with honest and open government. Through legal representation, advice, national conferences, films, publications and public outreach, the Project promotes whistleblowers as agents of government accountability. Through its Citizens Clinic, GAP offers assistance to local public interest and citizens groups who seek to ensure the health and safety of their communities. The Citizens Clinic is currently assisting citizens groups in the California area concerning the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant.

For any documents or portions that you deny due to a specific FOIA exemption, please provide an index itemizing and describing the documents or portions of documents withheld. The index should provide a detailed justification of your grounds for claiming each exemption, explaining why each exemption is relevant to the document or portion of the document withheld.
