i untion of two application amendments, submitted on February 26 and March 6, 1968, which relate to the proximity of the facility site to Olmsted State Airport. The motion states that the Staff's report on all safety-related subjects except the airport matter vill be H
issued "within the next few days, the airport subject will be con-sidered in a supplementing. addendum projected for April 16, 1968.
The Applicant's answer, " consenting" to the requested postponement but urging that the hearing date be not later than April 25, 1968, states that its prepared testimony on all relevant hearing issues except the airport matter will be filed on March 19, 1968 and that the excepted matter vill be discussed in supplemental prepared testimony to be filed on "apprmHmately April 15, 1968."
3 consideration of the parties' uncontroverted statements as su:::marized above leads the Board to conclude that good cause for now again unsettling and undertaking to restabilize the hearing date has not been shown. Incking at this time adequate justifications for the estimated durations of the projected supplemental efforts by Staff and Applicant, the Board concludes that the motion for postpone-ment should be denied without prejudice to a reconsideration of this ruling if that is sou6ht and warranted by such facts and arguments as the parties may advance either in writing or orally at the Pre-hearing Conference on March 29, 1968.
IT IS OEDERED this 15th day of March 1968, pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Mministrative Procedure Act and to Sections 2 721(c),
