NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DOCKET NOS.
50-528A, 529A 530A ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL'S ADVICE AND TItlE FOR FILING OF PETITIONS TO INTERVENE ON ANTITRUST MATlERS The Commission has received the following additionai, advice, pursuant to Section 105c of the amended Atomic Energy Act of 1954, from the Attorney General of the United States, dated February ll, 1982, with respect to the construction permit application for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3.
You have requested our advice pursuant to the provisions of Section 105c of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
- amended, in regard to a transfer of ownership interest in the above referenced units by Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District ("SRP") to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
("LADWP") and to the Southern California Public Power Authority ("SCPPA").
1/
Under the proposed transfer, LADWP will acquire a 5.7 percent interest, and SCPPA will acquire a 5.91 percent in each of the three 1270 megawatt units.
The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station
("PVNGS") is located near Phoenix, Arizona.
LADWP and the members of SCPPA are California utilities.
LADWP has been the subject of antitrust review on three previous occasions.
The most recent occasion was in connection with LADWP's parti-cipation in PVNGS Units 4 and 5.
The Department of Justice advised the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by letter dated February 22, 1979 that the participation of LADWP in PVNGS Units 4 and 5 would not create or maintain a situation inconsistent with the antitrust laws.2/
gl The SCPPA is an entity formed pursuant to California law for the purpose of financing, acquiring, constructing, maintaining, and operating generation and transmission projects.
The members of, and their percentage participating in SCPPA are:
Los Angeles Department of Water (62K), City of Bur bank (4%),
City of Glendale (4X), City of Pasadena (4X), City of Riverside (5X), City of Anaheim (7.5A), City of Banning (15), City of Vernon (4.5%),
and Imperial Irrigation District (6X).
2/
LADWP was also the subject of antitrust review in connection with the Yundesert Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 and the San Joaquin Nuclear Project.
In both reviews the Department advised that antitrust hearings were not required.

Some of the members of SCPPA were the subject of antitrust review in con-nection with the Sundesert Nuclear Plant, and the San Joaquin Nuclear Project.
On November 24, 1975 the Department advised that no hearing was required in connection with the Cities of Anaheim, Glendale, Riverside and Pasadena participating in the San Joaquin Nuclear Project.
On September 2, 1977 the same advice was given in connection with the four cities participating in the Sundesert Nuclear Plant.
We advised on July 17, 1978 that participation by the City of Burbank in the Sundesert Project would not require an antitrust hearing.
We also advised on January 31,
- 1980, that participation by the Cities of Anaheim and Riverside in San Onofre Nuclear Generating
- Company, Units 2 and 3, would not require an antitrust hearing.
Our review of the information submitted in connection with the current application, as well as other relevant information, has disclosed no evi-dence that would war rant a change of our earlier advice with respect to LADWP, or the members of SCPPA that were the subject of prior antitrust review.
We are not aware of any evidence that the other members of SCPPA have engaged in any conduct that might warrant further antitrust scrutiny.
Accordingly, it is the Department's view that no antitrust hearing is necessary with respect to the proposed transfers of ownership.
Any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding may, pursuant to section 2.714 of the Commission's "Rules of Practice,"
10 CFR Part 2, file a petition for leave to intervene and request a hearing on the antitrust aspects of the application.
Petitions for leave to intervene and requests for hearing shall be filed by (30 days) either (1) by delivery to the NRC Docketing and Service Branch at 1717 H Street, NW, Washingtog DC, or (2) by mail or telegram addressed to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.
