Environmental Analysis Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 02555 _

Dear Dr. Cota:

The Department of Energy, Region I, has completed their review of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, "New England Power Units 1 & 2 (NEP 1 & 2)", Docket Numbers STN 50-568 and STN 50-569. We have the following comments:

1. Page 4-20, second paragraph - It is estimated that 90% of the laborers will ccumute daily to the work site.

a) What is the average travel distance?

b) What effect upon energy (gasoline) consumption will this mass movement have?

c) Can mass transit be provided to reduce energy consumption?

2. Page 9-4, fourth paragrrch, second line - An indication should be made that FPC is ncw FERC, pai t of DOE.

3. Page 9-5, second paragraph, first line - Change Federal Power Commissian to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

4. Page 9-96, sections 9.3.1.8 and 9.3.1.9 - These sections shouTd include a statement evaluating the energy needed to operate these cooling al ternatives.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Sincerely, l

Q Harold
