Subject:
F0!A-84-415
Dear Ms. Bauser:
This is in further response to your letter of May 22, 1984 requesting, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), copies of all agency documents relating to the October 1983 report by Judge Helen Hoyt and Sebastian Aloot on NRC investigations at the Zimer Nuclear Power Station. In responding, we have construed your request to encompass only those documents generated or reviewed by the investigation team.
A listing of the responsive documents is attached. The following are being released in their entirety in connection with this interim response:
11-18, 20-34, 36, 38, 40-41, 44, 46, 50, 53, 58-61, 65, 67a and b, 76-78, 84-85, 91-92, 99, 102b, 105, 109, 117, 131, 137, 142, 239, 256-257, 262-267, and 269.
In addition, the following documents are being released in part and withheld in part: 80b, 102a, 124, 127, and 240. The portions of the above documents being withheld in part at this time contain information the release of which could, in the agency's judgment.cause an invasion ofprivacy)ofindividualswhoassistedinNRCinvestigations(Exemptions 6 and 7(C) . 5U.S.C.552(b)(6)and(7)and10CFR9.5(a)(6)and(7).
The agency is unable to identify a countervailing public interest in disclosure which, in its judgment, outweighs the agency's or individuals' interests in confidentiality under Exemptions 6 and 7 of the FOIA.
In addition, document 143 is being released in part and withheld in part. The portions being withheld pursuant to Exemption 2 pertain to matters related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of an agency. 5U.S.C.552(b)(2)and10CFR9.5(a)(2). The disclosure of this predominately internal document would significantly risk circum-vention of federal statutes or regulations. See Crooker v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Fireanns, 670 F.2d 1051, l'OTJ (D.C. Cir.1!91);
Windels, Marx, Davies & Ives v. Department of Comerce, 576 F. Supp.
405, 411-13 (D.D.C. 1983).
The documents or portions identified above as being released at this time are being placed in folder F0!A-84-415 under your name in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), 1717 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20555. In addition, copies of these documents, at a cost to you of seven cents (7t) a page, are enclosed with this interim response, pg61g 03o337 BAUSERBA-4g3 pop .
n . o
. , t Deborah B. Bauser 2 In my letter to you dated December 27, 1984 I stated that documents 190 and 209 were tapes or diskettes which would be available should you desire to refer to them. Please be advised that NRC no longer has access to document 190, and document 209 was inadvertently destroyed during the processing of this request, j Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.15 of the Commission's regulations, it has been
! determined that the information withheld is exempt from production or
! disclosure and that its production or disclosure is contrary to the l public interest. The person responsible for this denial is Mr. C.
i Sebastian Aloot, Office of the General Counsel.
l This denial may be appealed to the Commission within 30 days from the i receipt of this letter. Any such appeal must be in writing, addressed I to the Secretary of the Comission, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial FOIA Decision."
Due to the possible impact on matters unrelated to the October 1983 report, the remaining documents require the review of the originating agency offices to determine whether: (1) the withholding of any portion of a document is warranted under FOIA; and (2) whether the public interest requires the release of such portions notwithstanding the existence of a relevant exemption under the FOIA. These reviews should
! be completed in the near future. Once they are completed, a final-response to your May 22, 1984 request will be provided.
