I, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER On May 28, 1974, the Atomic Energy Commission pub-i lished in the Federal Register (39 F.R. 18497) a notice entitled " Application for Facility Operating License".
The notice provided that any person whose interest may be 8
affected by this proceeding might file a petition for leave to intervene with respect to (1) whether, consid-ering the matters covered by Appendix D to 10 CFR Part 50 of the Commission's regulations, the provisional construction permit should be continued, modified, terminated r appro-priately conditioned to protect environmental values, and (2) the issuance of a full-term facility operating license.
A cetition for intervention was filed jointly by Citizens for a Safe Environment and York Committee for a Safe Environment.
Neither the applicant nor the staff objects to the validity of at least one of the contentions GG-072 7 90423 0 t%

. of the joint petitaners (Number 4), and we find that con-tention sufficient under 10 CFR 2.714.
The anplicant concedes the interest of both petitioners, but the staff's position is that York Committee for a Safe Environment has i
I demonstrated neither the required interest (10 CFR 2.714) nor the authority of Chauncey R. Kepford, who has acted as its representative.
The documents filed on behalf of the York Committee for a Safe Enviroument indicate that its chairman is Kepford and that his address is York, Pennsylvania.
We take official notice that York is less than 30 miles from the site of Three Mile Island Nuclear Station.
Kepford's authority to represent the Committee is alleged in his affidavit that he has been unanimously selected by the Com-mittee to do so, and that allegation is not contradicted.
Interest is therefore shown for at least one member of the Committee and, in the absence of disagreement with the allegations in Kepford's affidavit, his authority to represent the York Committee is sufficiently set forth.

. permit and any operating license because of alleged
" future potentially harmful" effects resulting from the l
operation of the Station.
Both the applicant and the staff have responded that Mrs. Pradel has alleged neither the required interest in the proceeding nor any specific facts supporting her position.
The cetition is deficient in both respects when tested by Section 2.714.
Her I
I address is given as Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and I
official notice is taken that Greencastle is more than 50 miles from Three Mile Island Nuclear Station.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has requested leave to participate under the provisions of 10 CFR s
2.715(c). Neither the applicant nor the staff has objected and, under the regulation, the State having asked to parti-cipate is entitled to do so.
Citizens for a Safe Environment and York Cormittee for a Safe Environment have jointly petitioned for finan-cial and technical assistance in the crosecution of their intervention in this proceeding.
That motion is respect-fully referred to the atomic safety and licensing board 66-074 7
