UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 CAROLINA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY, ET AL.
SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1 DOCKET NO. 50-400 ORDER EXTENDING CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION DATE Carolina Power and Light Company and the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency (Permittees) are the holders of Construction Permit No.
CPPR-158 issued by the 'Nuclear Regulatory Commission on January 27, 1978 for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1.
This facility is presently under construction at the applicants'ite in Wake County, North Carolina.
By letter dated March 16, 1984, the permittees requested an extension from June 1,
1984 to March 1, 1986, citing 1) revised Energy and Load Forecasts reflecting a slower Rate of growth in customer demand than previously projected, and 2) Carolina Power and Light Company's expanded Conservation and Load Management Program as major factors contributing to the delays.
By letter dated January 29, 1986, the permittees requested an extension from March 1, 1986 to June 30, 1987 in order to complete construction and to ensure that commitments and regulatory requirements have been met and to allow for contingencies, beyond the targeted fuel load date of June
- 1986, such as unforeseen delays in construction or licensing.
The staff has performed an evaluation of the request for extension.
Based on this review, the staff has determined that the above factors hav'e resulted in significant delays in construction completion and that the request

is for a reasonable period of time when considering the nature of the delays.
In addition, the extension of the latest completion date in the construction permit does not involve any significant hazards consideration since the extension will not allow any work to be performed that is not already allowed by the existing construction permit.
Prior public notice of this extension was not required since the Commission has determined that this action involves no significant hazards consideration; good cause has been shown for the delays; and the requested extension is for a reasonable period of time.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the Commission has determined that this action will not result in any significant environmental impact (51 FR 9731 March gO, 1986).
The NRC staff's evaluation of the request for extension of the construction permit is available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document
- Room, 1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, DC
- 20555, and the Wake County Public Library, Fayetteville Street,
- Raleigh, North Carolina 27601.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the latest completion date for CPPR-158 be extended from June I, 1984 to June 30, 1987.
