Florida Power 6 Light Company Docket. No. 5'0-389A

Dear Chairman Smith:

On February 4, 1977, 'the Board issued a- Memorandum Requesting Briefs on the status of the proposed license condi-tions to the St. Lucie 'Unit No. 2 licenses (attached hereto).

Subsequently, by Order dated March 2, the Board set March 21, as the date for submittal of the requested briefs. Following discussions with the NRC Staff, Applicant is -prepared to enter upon certain'ommitments which may obvi'ate the need for one or more parties to 'file briefs, and which certainly narrow -the matters potentially in dispute.

Independent of any position. on the legal status of the attached. proposed license conditions, Applicant is prepared to agree, and. does agree, to their imposition witnout change, except as recards any entity named therein which has requested or subsequently requests intervention, in an antitrust hearing IFrith

'respect to St. Lucie Unit No. 2. This would mean that reference to any entity originally named in the proposed cond'tions, and which has requested, or hereafter requests, such intervention would be deleted'rom the first sentence of the license. conditions.

To date, only one of the entities named in the license conditions, the City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, has requested such intervention.

LOWZXSrisSZ. YS>>a~i, HZZS. & AXaX.R~O Ivan W. Smith, Esquire, Chairman March, 11, 1977 Page Applicant believes that this agreement protects the

'reasonable of the NRC Staff and those in'heexpectations proposed .lice'nse conditions, without violating the entities'amed principle that a'arty should .not be permitted to engage in litigation while at the same time availing itself of the benefits--of a 'compromise entered into for the purpose of avoiding the litigation.

Respectfully submitted, J A. Bouknigh , Jr.
