Description of Requested Records:
PART I. -- INFORMATION RELEASED The NRC has made some, or all, of the requested records publicly available through one or more of the following means:
(1) https://www.nrc.gov ; (2) public ADAMS, https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html; (3) microfiche available in the NRC Public Document Room; or the NRC Public Access Link (PAL), at https://foia.nrc-gateway.gov/app/Home.aspx.
Agency records subject to the request are enclosed.
Records subject to the request that contain information originated by or of interest to another Federal agency have been referred to that agency (See Part I.D -- Comments) for a disclosure determination and direct response to you.
We are continuing to process your request.
See Part I.D -- Comments.
PART I.A -- FEES AMOUNT You will be billed by NRC for the amount indicated.
You will receive a refund for the amount indicated.
Fees waived.
Since the minimum fee threshold was not met, you will not be charged fees.
Due to our delayed response, you will not be charged search and/or duplication fees that would otherwise be applicable to your request.
PART I.B -- INFORMATION NOT LOCATED OR WITHHELD FROM DISCLOSURE We did not locate any agency records responsive to your request. Note: Agencies may treat three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records as not subject to the FOIA ("exclusions"). See 5 U.S.C. 552(c). This is a standard notification given to all requesters; it should not be taken to mean that any excluded records do, or do not, exist.
We have withheld certain information pursuant to the FOIA exemptions described, and for the reasons stated, in Part II.
Because this is an interim response to your request, you may not appeal at this time. We will notify you of your right to appeal any of the responses we have issued in response to your request when we issue our final determination.
You may appeal this final determination within 90 calendar days of the date of this response. If you submit an appeal by mail, address it to the FOIA Officer, at U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Mail Stop T-6 A60M, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001. You may submit an appeal by email to FOIA.resource@nrc.gov. You may fax an appeal to (301) 415-5130. Please be sure to include on your submission that it is a FOIA Appeal. You may file an appeal through the NRC Public Access Link (PAL) at https://foia.nrc-gateway.gov/app/Home.aspx.
PART I.C -- REFERENCES AND POINTS OF CONTACT You have the right to seek assistance from the NRC's FOIA Public Liaison by submitting your inquiry at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/
foia/contact-foia.html, or by calling the FOIA Public Liaison at (301) 415-0717.
If we have denied your request, you have the right to seek dispute resolution services from the NRC's Public Liaison or the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS).

Response
Type 2
Upon receipt of your request, we tasked the Office of the Chief Information Officer with searching for records. An interim response with 11 records was provided on February 21, 2025, which contained 30 PDF pages.
On May 13, 2025, you concurred with excluding Information Notices removed from the website from the scope of your request. These remain available publicly at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/gen-comm/info-notices/
index.html. The remaining 12 available records are attached here.
Information Notices which were removed are not included, as they are already publicly available and remain accessible.
Information notices communicate operating or analytical experience to the nuclear industry. Information notices may also communicate the results of recently completed research. The industry is expected to review the information for applicability and consider appropriate actions to avoid similar problems. Note that there were 468 Information Notices removed in the responsive time period. These records were dated between 1988 and 2002. While these records are responsive, Information Notices are already publicly available at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/gen-comm/info-notices/
index.html. Please review this resource for these records.
One website was identified as being deleted in full, and as a result no digital copy is available. The site was titled "About the NRC & Your Community," and the web address was https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/nrc-and-community.html. Although the specific information is not available, it has been determined that the data on the website was not original, and was instead only links to data hosted publicly elsewhere on the NRC website.
