(( Ig ll.3-fl Res FOIA Reauest Sir Pursuant to the guidelines of 10 CFR Part 9, the undersigned makes the following FOIA Request for the documents, items, etc.

listed on the Attachment to this letter.

This requester asks that fees for the production of the requested documents be waived in accordance with 10 CFR section 9.14a.

As enumerated in sub-paragraph (c) of that sections (1)

Upon this requester's review and analysis of the requested documents, that analysis will be disseminated to other members of requester's organization, the Ohio Citizens for Responsible Energy ("0CRE").

OCRE is a public interest,

group with approximately forty members.

It is currently intervening (Units 1 and 2), Docket Nos.

In the Matter of Cleveland Electric Illumi-nating Co.

50-440-441, to protect the health, safety,. and environmental interests of its members (2)

The size of the benefitting audience is approximately forty members (3)

The tangible benefit realized by this audience is the enhanced ability to protect its interests more compe-tently and to participate more meaningfully in that pro-ceeding currently before the ASLB (4)

Requester does not foresee any immediate financial benefit (commercial or otherwise) from the use of the requested d ocuments :

(5)

As this group is a volunteer " bootstrap" operation working entirely pro bono, payment of these fees in the course of its diligent research shall work a hardship upon OCRE:

the group's resources are very limited: and (6)

The intended use of the records requested is likely to manifest itself in the greater safety to OCRE members and to the Northeastern Ohio population in general.

Once OCRE is fully aware of the potential harms connected with the Utility's planned power plant, it may then demand any necessary health, safety and environmental precautions 8204140066 811026 PDR FOIA l

11) and lii)

Requester expects no benefits to accrue to it in the.se categories iv) Information distilled and disseminated from the requested documents should enhance OCRE's ability-to further public debate in Northeast Ohio regarding the operation of the Perry Nucient Power Plants and v)

Requester expects no benefit here.

The weight of the above factors should clearly demonstrate that furnishing the documents and information contained therein can be considered as primarily benefitting the general public and that waiver of fees for search and production is proper.

Thank you very much.
