gyp 5 1980 Nr. Alan Bruno Post Office Box 6289 los Osos, California 93402

Dear Nr. Bruno:

Thank you for your letter dated duly'1, 1980, concerning the Pacific Gas and Electric

{PG&E) Company's emergency plan for Diablo Canyon, Units

'1 and 2.

A statement in the plan declares that an agreement exists between the Field Ranch and PG&E which allows PG&E access over the Field Ranch as an emergency evacuation route in the unlikely event that normal access to the site (which is from the south) cannot be used.

Your letter states that such an agreement does not exist and requests our comments in the very near future in view of the fact that PG&E is currently seeking a Fuel Load and Low Power Test License.

Based upon our review of our docket files we have been unable to find such an agreement.

Me therefore have requested PG&E to provide a copy of the agreement ifit exists or clarify this matter to explain the basis for its statement referring to such an agreement.

tfe thank you for bringing this,matter to our attention and will keep you informed of the progress regarding its resolution.

You also asked if other PG&E documents or procedures contain misstatements or misrepresentations.

Me are not aware of others.

As you are no doubt aware, the Diablo Canyon low poHer testing and operating license applications are the subject of a contested adjudicatory proceeding.

Since the Joint Intervenors have applied to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board to reopen the hearing record on emergency planning and the Licensing Board has reserved ruling on emergency planning until it is known how the accident at Three Nile Island might impact the Diablo Canyon application, there may be further inquiry on emergency planning.

In any event, under the Coamission's Policy Statement of November 9, 1979, covering such proceedings, (44 Federal Register 66049) no license may be issued by the NRC staff until the Commission has reviewed the findings of the Commission's Licensing-.

and Appeal Boards on such matters.

I trust that this information is responsive to your request.
