By a telephone call on April 11, 2002, NRC Staff Counsel informed the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panels Chief Counsel that the NRC Staff would not be filing a response to Mrs. Honickers motion.

A telephone call does not suffice and is inappropriate in the circumstances presented here. In the future, the Board expects the Staff, as a party to the proceeding, to file written pleadings stating its position, or lack thereof, on any matters before the Board. The Board trusts that it will not need to address this subject again.

It is so ORDERED.
