==Dear Ms. Garde:==
  /87 11/30/87 1A/3/87 /fj/ g g G
This is in response to your letter dated June 26, 1986, in which you appealed Mr. Donnie H. Grimsley's letter dated June 3,1986, which denied-in-part your Freedom of Information Act (F0IA) request for documents related to Inspection Report numbers 50-445/84-32 and 50-446/84-11 regarding the Comanche Peak plant.


Acting on your appeal, I have carefully reviewed the record in this case and have determined that the previously withheld documents will continue to be withheld pursuant to Exemption (5) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5) of the Commission's regulations. Your appeal, therefore, is denied.
While reviewing the records subject to this appeal, it was noted that several of the withheld records consist of an underlying draft record and a one, two, or three-page cover for the draft, which are routing and distribution forms and typing cover pages. The forms could be separated from the underlying drafts, but they will not materially respond to your request and some of the forms themselves are dated while the underlying drafts are not. Accordingly, we have identified these forms on the appendix but will continue to treat the draft and forms as one record.
Document one listed on the enclosed appendix contains the preliminary advice, opinions, and recommendations of several consultants who assisted in the preparation of the inspection report. Documents two through five listed on the enclosed appendix are drafts of the inspection report, notice of violation, and letters to the licensee. These doc'uments contain the preliminary advice, opinions and recommendations of the Region IV staff. These documents are clearly predecisional because they were prepared prior to and in the course of reaching a final agency decision. Exemption (5) shields from mandatory disclosure documents generated in the deliberative process that precedes most decisions of government agencies and was intended to permit the agency's withholding of such information to preserve the free and candid internal dialogue necessary for the careful formulation of agency decisions.

==Dear Mr. Grimsley:==
In light of the NRC's treatment of our March 6, 1986 appeal of FOIA 85-151 as untimely, we request that you not only reconsider the release of all documents specifically denied under your initial response, but also treat 86-182 as an entirely new request for the time period of March 6, 1986 to the present.
 
As you know, the FOIA does not specify how many days a requestor is allowed in which to file an appeal of initial agency denials.
 
We look forward to your response to this request within ten days.
 
Sincerely,

Dockets: 50-445/84-32 50-446/84-11 TU Electric ATTN: Mr. William G. Counsil Executive Vice President 400 North Olive Street, Lock Box 81 Dallas, Texas 75201 Gentlemen:

Thank you for your letters dated March 11, 1985, February 2, 1987, and November 6, 1987, (TXX-4435, 6144, and 6895, respectively) informing us of the steps you have taken to correct-the violations which we brought to your attention in Inspection Report No. 50-445/8432, 50-446/84-11 forwarded by our letter ,

dated February 15, 198 With respect to item 2.b, we disagree with your conclusion that

"

. . . the 1983 audit program coverage of the design and construction phase of CPSES was adequate" and we consider _this to be a valid example of the violation. However, since the design is being revalidated, the construction is being assessed by the Corrective Action Program, and the current audit program (inspected and documented in Inspection Reports 50-445/86-03, 50-446/86-02 and 50-445/87-16, 50-446/87-13) appears to be adequate, no additional information was requested and no further response is require With respect to item 2.c, we believe it would have been prudent for the applicant to audit Westinghouse onsite activities because of the safety significance of the onsite work for which Westinghouse had responsibility. Therefore, we consider this to be a valid example of the violation; however, no further response is require .

TU Electric 2 The NRC will examine your corrective actions during a future inspectio

Sincerely,

b&L C. I. Grimes, Director Comanche Peak Project Division Office of Special Projects !
