APP[1]-2023-000001	Schwartz, Greg		Appealing the partial denial of information in FOIA-2023-000022. I have received NRC OIG's response to my FOIA request. While largely informative, the 17-page document omits the names of NRC personnel making key decisions regarding NRC oversight of regulatory matters at the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant. This information was withheld under Exemption 7 c, with the claim that "Disclosure could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." I wish to appeal this exemption due to the fact that these are matters of public interest, and the public very much has a right to know who was making the assumptions and presumptions behind these decisions. I would argue that the public's right to know who these decision makers are outweighs their right to personal privacy, since they are or were public government employees making decisions that could potentially affect the entire region and state.	12/01/2022
