O V APPEAL FROM INITInL FOIA DECISION February 18, 1981 Secretary of the Commission and/or Executive Director for Operations U.S. Nucicar Regulatory Commission APPEAL OF INITIAL FOIA DECISION 3 Washington, D.C. 20555 f/ -A- / C-( PO-67?y

Dear Sir:

1 0-y This letter constitutes a formal appeal of your letter dated January 21, 1981, signed by Mr. J.M. Felton, and referred to as FOIA-80-578.

In that letter numerous documents were listed on Appendix B as being exempt pursuant to Exeraption (5) of the Freedom of Information Act and pertinent impicmenting regulations.

It is my contention that certain of those documents, in toto and/or in part, are not covered by Exemption (5) in that some of the material is factual as distinguished from policy advice, that some of the material was incorporated into the agenef/s order of January 8,1981 on interim operation of Indian Point 2 and 3, and that in any event Exemption (5) is not to be applied by rote but that a balancing of the public interest favors disclosure in this particular request.

In addition, I contend that there is additional relevant information in documentary form that was not listed on either Appendix A or Appendix B in your January 21, 1981 response to my November 17, 1980 request for

. such documents.

1 I trust that the time requirements of 10 CFR secs. 9.11 and 9.13 will be adhered to in dealing with this appeal.

Thanking you for your continued cooperation, I am i

i Sincerely yours, C
