JUN 2.V 1986 Mr.

Box 52034
- Phoenix, Arizona 85072-2034 Re:
Palo V'erde Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 3:
Docket No. 50-530A; Updated Regulatory Guide 9.3 Information
Dear Mr. Quinn:
Pursuant to the NRC's operating license antitrust review of the captioned nuclear plant, the staff requested updated information to Regulatory Guide 9.3 (see letter from Jesse L. Funches to E.
E.
Van Brunt, Jr.,
dated December 18,
- 1985, copy attached).
After reviewing Arizona Nuclear's data submittal dated April ll, 1986 (ANPP-36071), staff has identified several areas in your response that require further clarification.
Each Licensee and the pertinent question reference are listed below.
Arizona Public Service Com an (APS}
Question 1h(l) (Qlh(l)):
Please provide the date and amount (type, etc.)
of the wholesale power agreement between APS and the Town of Mickenburg.
Qlh(2):
Explain the relationship or proposed relationship between APS and the Town of Safford.
Did APS approach Saff'ord pursuant to a power sale or did Safford approach APS?
Q2:
Arizona Public Service Company's responses concerning implementation of antitrust license conditions are too general.
APS s response simply restates the broad tenants of -the license conditions, indicating that APS has fulfilled its'ommitments to the antitrust license conditions attached to the Palo Verde construction permits and operating licenses.
Staff needs more specific information concerning requests for transmission over APS's facilities.
For example, when a request
- occurs, provide the name of the requesting party, the date of the
- request, the proposed destination of the power being transmitted, the amount of power (or energy) being transmitted and APS's action on the request.
Mhere the request was denied, APS should provide justification for such action.
In conjunction with requests for transmission of bulk power over its facilities, APS should highlight the measures it has taken to implement said requests through the planning and construction of new transmission facilities--provided APS received sufficient advance notice to accommodate the requirements of the requesting entity, as provided for in the license conditions.
If no requests for transmission over APS's facilities have been received from an "entity" since the construction permit review, so indicate;
- however, where requests have been received, please document as indicated above.
