Docket Nos:
STN 50-454 3 7 1979 and STN 50-45E Mr. Gerald R. Windsor 309 Kedzie South Beloit, Illinois 61080 Lear Mr. Windsor:
Your letter of April 2,1979 has been referred to this office for reply.
You asked whether citizen participation ends with the first public hearings.
At the construction permit stage of review, public hearings are required even though there is no public participation. No hearing is required at the operating license stage or review unless intervenors raise contentions that areadmittedforlitigation.Twocjroupshavebeenadmittedasintervenorsin the case of the Byron application for operating licenses. Thus, there will oe a hearing on contentions of those two groups.
The scheduled time for submitting petitions for leave to intervene ended on January 15, 1979. As stated in Section 2.714, " Intervention," of the Cormiissions Regulations, Title 10 of the Code for Federal Regulations, Part 2,
" Rules of Fractice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings," nontirny filings will not be entertained except if a basis is determined based on the balancing of five factors specified therein.
If you do not choose to file an untimely peti-tion, or if you file and are not admitted as an intervenor, you nay request permission of the presiding officer of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board to make a limited appearance by making oral or written statement of your position on the issues.
I am enclosing a copy of 10 CFR Part 2, a descriptive paper, "The Reactor Licensing Process," and the " Notice of Opportunity for Hearing" for the operating license stage of the Byron review.
Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sin,cerely,
