Answer To The Commission's Order Modifying Licenses (Effective Immediately)
And Request For Extension Of Time Pursuant to the Commission's Order Modifying Licenses (Effective Immediately) (the "Order"),
dated February 25, 2002, North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation (North Atlantic) herein submits its Answer and a Request for an Extension of Time in which to further reply to certain requirements in Attachment 2 to the Order, and a comparable Extension of Time to decide whether to request a hearing.
Section III.A. of the Order required North Atlantic to comply with the requirements described in to the Order, except to the extent that a more stringent requirement is set forth in the license's security plan. North Atlantic was further ordered to immediately start implementation of the requirements in Attachment 2 to the Order, and complete implementation no later than August 31, 2002. Section C.1 of the Order required North Atlantic to provide a schedule for achieving compliance. Enclosure 1 to this letter provides North Atlantic's Answer and schedule for compliance with the measures set forth in Attachment 2 to the Order, as required by Sections III C.1 and IV of the Order.
Sections B.1 and B.2 of the Order required North Atlantic to notify the Commission within twenty (20) days, if: (1) North Atlantic is unable to comply with any of the requirements described in Attachment 2 to the Order; (2) compliance is unnecessary under North Atlantic's specific circumstances; (3) implementation would cause North Atlantic to be in violation of any regulation or a Seabrook Station license condition; or (4) any requirement described in would adversely impact safe operation of the facility. To the extent any of these circumstances apply to Seabrook Station relative to any requirement described in Attachment 2 to the Order, the required justification and supplemental information is also set forth in Enclosure 1 to this letter.
