Appleton, WI 54911-4897
Dear Ms. Bauman: q
This is in response to your letter dated February 6,1989, in which you !
appealed Mr. Donnie H. Grimsley's response dated January 24, 1989. ;
Mr. Grimsley's response denied in part two records subject to your Freedom of l
Information Act (F0IA) request for copies of all records related to the -
~ inspection documented in Inspection Report numbers 50-445/88-59 and
50-446/88-55 and to discussions of findings with Mr. Counsil et al., at the
conclusion of the inspection. You specifically appealed the denial of portions
of the_ records identified on Appendix C of Mr. Grimsley's response dated
January 24, 1989, and on the enclosed Appendix.
Acting on your apaeal, I have carefully reviewed the record in this case and
have determined t1at the previously withheld information will continue to be
withheld from public disclosure, pursuant to Evemptions (5) and (6) of the F0IA
(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5) and (6)) and 10 CFR 9.17(a)(5)) and (6) of the Commission's
regulations. Therefore, your appeal is denied.
The information which was previously withheld pursuant to F01A Exemption 7A is
predecisional information that is being withheld pursuant to the deliberative
process privilege of Exemption 5. Information continued to be withheld
pursuant to Exeaption 6 consists of' names, an address, and a telephone
number, the disclosure of which could cause a clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy. 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 decision. As set forth in the F0IA (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,
f
