UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Before the Atomic Safet and Licensin Board In the Matter of:
Florida Power and Light Company ) Docket Nos. 50-335A (St. Lucie Plant, Units No. 1 and 2 ) 50-389A
)
Florida Power and Light Company ) Docket Nos~5 -'250 (St. Lucie -Plant, Units No. 3 and 4 ) -251A FLORIDA CITIES'NSWER IN OPPOSITION TO APPLICANT'S MOTION TO STRIKE CITIES'ETTER OF MARCH 29, 1977 Pursuant to 10 CFR 52.730(c), Florida Cities oppose Applicant's "Motion to Strike Cities'etter of March 29, 1977," dated March 30, 1977. On March 21, 1977, Florida Power and Light Company ("FP6L")
submitted a letter to the Board lodging with it the opinion of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board in the Matter of Houston Li htin and Power Co'm an (South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2), ALAB-381, Docket Nos. 50-498A and 50-499A, issued March 18, 1977. Not only did the Company lodge the decision, but it explicitly referred the Board to specific pages of the majority and concurring opinions as related to specific pages of FPSL's Response to Cities'riginal Petition. The clear intent was to buttress authority for its various arguments. On March 29, 1977, Cities submitted a two-page letter in response to FPGL's March 21st letter. Having lodged the opinion along with specific citations, FPGL now asks that Cities'etter of March 29th be stricken. Cities respectfully oppose the Applicant's motion.
Florida Power 6 Light Company states that it would be unfair to allow Cities to respond, since Applicant was "careful" to submit the South Texas case without argument; it concludes that the Board re 4
should not allow its deliberations to be delayed by permitting the Parties to brief the South Texas opinion.
The Commission has no specific rule of practice dealing with the lodging of related opinions after parties have submitted briefs.
,FPGL's silence on the import of ALAB-381 was, then, self-imposed;.
but, it was a pregnant silence. The very act of lodging the case manifested FPGL's belief that the Appeal Board's opinion is (in the words of the Motion to Strike) a "pertinent and significant" authority.
The clear implication of Applicant's submission of ALAB-381 to this Board was that a higher tribunal had issued a relevant opinion (in which a Licensing Board was found to be without the jurisdiction or authority to institute an antitrust hearing) that is binding authority
'n this Board. In that context, FPGL's silence was an important omission; it failed to point out to the Board that ALAB-381 is quite probably inapplicable to the present proceeding. Further, FPGL can hardly deny that its specific references to pages of the opinion and to its brief constituted a statement on the merits.
Florida Cities feel that they had an obligation and right to respond. They did so promptly and briefly, with a letter consisting of only two paragraphs of substance (one of which was a footnote explaining Cities'easons for filing that same day its Motion for Commission Clarification of Procedures) . Cities fail to see how such response is unfair to the Company. It certainly caused no delay in the Board's deliberations.
We agree with Florida Power 6 Light Company that the matter
does'ot warrant further briefing. On the other hand, should Cities'etter of March 29 be stricken, the Board should also strike the portions of Florida Power 6 Light Company's letter of March 21, 1977, which attempt to bolster Florida Power 6 Light Company's contentions on the merits of this case through selective references to pages of the South Texas opinion and to its Response to Cities'riginal Petition.
For the foregoing reasons, Florida Cities respectfully oppose Applicant's Motion to Strike or, in the alternative, request, that, should the Board strike Cities'etter of March 29, it also strike the argumentative second paragraph of Florida Power 6 Light Company's letter of March 21, 1977.
