Docket, Nos.

50-335A et al;

Dear Mr. Case:

This is in response to the July 5, 1977, letter of J.

A. Bouknight, Jr.

and John E. Mathews, Jr. to you on behalf of the Florida Power S Light Company

("FPGL").

In general, FPGL takes the position that no matter how egregiously license applications misuse NRC-granted licenses, the Commission has no authority to do anything about it.

The argument is directly contrary to the Atomic Energy Act, and in particular to:Sect.186.

Since the positions of the parties are clear from the records in this proceeding, Florida Cities do not respond substantively.

However, they assume that in your review of their request for antitrust relief that,you will take into. account the full records in Docket Nos,.

50-335A, 50-250A and 50-251A, including all pleadings filed therein.

They request that you do so.

To the extent that it would helpful in your review to obtain further pleadings or information from the Cities, they of course desire to cooperate with you in every way.

Florida Cities note that FPGL appears to suggest at page 2, note 3, that before you find any basis for review, you ignore the existing record and start procedures from scratch.

FP6L has actively opposed Florida Cities'equests for.sub-:

stantive relief from the moment it was made.

It has had full opportunity to make any and all responses that it deemed appropriate.

At this stage its suggestion that'the existing record be ignored (if that is what FP&L.means) is, to say the least, startling.

'age 2

We note that FPGL has contended vigorously that needs for certainty should foreclose relief, yet now it appears to seek ways of delaying decision.

Procedures should not be so exhaustive as to "exhaust" those seeking relief "instead of the remedies."

See NLRB v. Marine Workers, 391 U.S.
