Decision List No. 52; Week of September 22 through September 26, 
1997

Appeal

William H. Payne, 9/26/97, VFA-0329

    William H. Payne filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Appeal 
requesting that the Office of Hearings and Appeals of the Department of 
Energy (DOE) grant a fee waiver for his August 14, 1997 FOIA request. 
In considering the Appeal, the DOE determined that Mr. Payne's fee 
waiver Appeal was not ripe for review. Thus, the DOE dismissed Mr. 
Payne's Appeal.

Personnel Security Hearing

Personnel Security Hearing, 9/22/97, VSO-0154

    A Hearing Officer of the Office of Hearings and Appeals issued an 
opinion concerning the continued eligibility of an individual for 
access authorization under 10 CFR Part 710, ``Criteria and Procedures 
for Determining Eligibility for Access to Classified Matter or Special 
Nuclear Material.'' After considering the record in view of the 
standards set forth in Part 710, the Hearing Officer found that the 
derogatory information presented by the DOE/AL under 10 CFR 
Sec. 710.8(j) established that the individual suffers from the disorder 
of alcohol abuse. The Hearing Officer also found that this derogatory 
information had not been mitigated by sufficient evidence of 
rehabilitation and reformation. Accordingly, the Hearing Officer 
concluded that, in his opinion, the individual's access authorization 
should not be restored.
