Specifically FPL requests that we be granted an extension for the requirement to establish by July 1, 1981 the administrative and physical means for alerting and providing prompt instructions to the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ within about 15 minutes.

Our schedule for delivery and installation of the equipment is subject to the uncertainties associated with the ongoing tasks listed in section B of the enclosure; however, we expect to have the systems operational at Turkey Point and St. Lucie by December 31, 1981.
