equity in a Federal court is not the same criterion the Board shculd use to determine whether EDF should be allowed to participate as an intervencr in an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board administrative licensing proceeding for participation in the limited area it seeks intervention. Morever, there appears to be a cuestion as to whether the salient findings of Morton are really pertinent to the instant proceeding.

It appears EDF does have a significant membership who will be affected by the proposed nuclear generating unit and attendant transmission lines in Arisona and California. Attempting to dissect the precise interest of each of their members who will be affected in some way by the "proj ect" would appear fruitless, hypertechnical

Joint Applicants' untimely Response also asserts that the Petition of EDF is untimely. EDF asserts it became aware of its essential interests in this matter as a result of an inadecuate and inappropriate dd scussion in the DEIS regarding the issues of conservaticr and alternative energy sources. The Board has discretion to alicw intervention based upon a concern discerned frca the DEIS . CPUC believes that although EDF could "cctment" appropriately on the DEIS during the ccament stage, its proposed involvement entailing a

" systematic comparison between the utilities plans on the one hand, and alternative energy supply sources ... currently available to the same utility ... on the other", may be a very important issue in this case which EDF believes it can contribute to helping the ASL3 resolve.

The CPUC verifies EDF's assertion (Petition, p.3) that the Cal-4 .co v ..,.4 _2 u 7.~,. 4 _y ., 4 . e. . A m .4 m a .# .#.-a. d v e .". v b e a.a .# .4.._*

Whether the CPUC will be considering these issues in its proceedings is of no moment and, nevertheless, would not enable the Board to consider such evidence 'n this licensing proceeding. Evidence that may be offered in the CPUC proceedings will not enable the NRC to review and consider EDF's "model" i.i this Federal proceeding without that evidence being introduced in this record.
