October 24, 2007 Mr. Sherwood Martinelli 351 Dyckman Street Peekskill, NY 10566

Dear Mr. Martinelli:

This letter is in response to two emails addressed to the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), both dated September 21, 2007, in which you submitted formal requests under the guidelines of 10 CFR 2.206 for specific action by the NRC related to Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3.

In the first email, you requested that the Environmental Costs of a targeted terrorist attack on Indian Point be included in the scoping process for Indian Point. In the second email, you made several requests, including an order from the Commission that would put EVERY HISTORICAL DOCUMENT up onto ADAMS, as well as that every Proprietary document in the entire Indian Point files be reviewedand released to the public via ADAMS, and provide to the public a full and un-redacted version of the Safety Analysis; and lastly, a STAY of clock [on the license renewal application process] until such time as this review is done.

Your emails were both referred to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) for consideration pursuant to 10 CFR Part 2.206.

In the case of your email regarding including costs for terrorist attacks in the Environmental Impact Statement, NRR has found that the request does not meet the criteria for consideration under 10 CFR 2.206, because it does not contain a request for enforcement-related action, but instead seeks a change in NRC policy or regulations. The substance of your request will be reviewed by, and you will receive a written response from, the NRR Division of License Renewal.

Similarly, in the case of your email regarding making every historical document available on ADAMS, NRR has found that the request does not meet the criteria for consideration under 10 CFR 2.206, because it does not contain a request for enforcement-related action. Instead, your request seeks changes in NRCs management of its document system, ADAMS, and constitutes a challenge to NRC rules regarding the treatment of proprietary information. Your request to require the licensee to provide an un-redacted version of the Safety Analysis is not a request for enforcement related action, but instead constitutes a challenge to NRC requirements regarding treatment of sensitive information. Finally, your request for a stay on the license renewal application process is not a request for enforcement related action, but raises a licensing matter.

Accordingly, your request will be further reviewed by, and you will receive a written response from, the NRR Division of Operating Reactor Licensing.

Thank you for your interest in these matters.

Sincerely,

/RA/
