Dear Mr. Grimsley:

l This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), as amended 5 U.S.C. 552. l l

I hereby request all records documenting oNitmentsCmade7 ~

beliidgEsdW7gna1"c6an'iEEEW, anV~4sDsequgW n MWtTM1yra gf B  ? M r78Wdthowrthercommit' men i I reserve the Attorney General's right to appeal the withholding or deletion of any material.

As authorized in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations at 10. C.F.R. S 9.14a(a)(2), we believe that furnishing these requested documents without charge to the Massachusetts Department of the Attorney General would be a governmental courtesy appropriate to this request, particularly given the importance of the documents sought and our limited budget. ,

As you know, the FOIA also authorizes you to reduce or waive fees when release of requested information would benefit "the public interest." As Attorney General for the Commonwealth, we believe the information requested would clectly be 'n the public interest, and therefore the fees for searching and reproduction should be waived. The documents requested are for the Attorney General's review of the conduct of the Boston Edison Company during the recent outage of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant. The Attorney General conducts such a review regarding the reasonableness of the company's L L L 9 '?' d' b ' -

h'

s ., ,

actions as part of his tepresentation of Massachusetts consumers before the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities. Provision of the requested documents with waiver of fee will both facilitate this review process and reduce the cost of providing this governmental service for Massachusetts citizens.

l Based on the above and on our limited budget, I therefore l request that you waive any fees. As provided in 10 C.F.R. S l 9.14b(e), I reserve the Attorney General's right to appeal any i denial of fee waiver or reduction.

If you have any questions, please call me at 617-727-1083.

Pursuant to the FOIA, I will expect a reply within 10 working days.
