fj PARTICIPATE AS AN INTERESTED STATE AGENCY iG
~
The Governor's Massachusetts Office of Energy Resources (MOER) har moved to participate in this proceeding as an interested state agency.
Far the reasons stated below, the Staff supports its Motion.
The M0ER's petition to intervene as an interested state agency under 52.715(c) addresses in part the criteria governing non-timely petitions to intervene contained in 52.714(a). The policy of the NRC is to encourage the participa-tion of interested governmental entities. The MOER clearly meets the interest requirement of 10 C.F.R. 52.715(c).
Further, the Staff believes that the petition demonstrates that the factors governing non-timely intervention by 52.714 parties either favor the agency's admissicn er do not weigh against it.
The MOER is an agency of t..e Massachusett's Governor's office which has re-cently been establisheu by the Governor and which has expressed its desire to limit its participation tc 5e need for power issues which remain to be Nb J.)

. considered. The agency has alleged its recent establishnent as cause for late intervention and has expressed its lack of congruity of position with the Attorney General's representation for the Correonwealth in this proceeding.
Further, the agency has agreed to take the proceeding as it finds it, adding no new issues and presumably abiding by filing and hearinq dates set without regard to its participation.
In 1ight of all these facts, the NRC Staff supports the admission of the MOER as an interested state agency.
