Limited appearance statements'will not be received at the above-mentioned conference, but will be received at any subsecuent prehearing conference and/or at the beginning of the hearing.

10 C.F.R. 3 2.715(a) provides:
A person who is not a party may, in the discretion of the
. presiding officer, be permitted to make.. 'imited appearance by~
making oral or written statement of his position on the issues at any session of the hearing or any prenearing conference within such limits and on such conditions as may be fixed by the presid-ing officer, but he may not otherwise participate in the proceeding.
Some of the submissions by various individuals clearly indicate that they only desire to make cral or written statements and do not seek to beccme ::arties.
As the Appeal Board noted in Iowa Electric Licht and Power Co., et. al. (Cuane Arnold Energy Center), ALAB-108, 6 AEC 195,196 n. 4 (1973).:

FOR THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD Akk Nh Sheldon J. Wo ble, Esquire Chairman Dated at Bethesda, Maryland this 6th day of August,1979 Footnote 3 (continued)
... A limited appearance statement is not evidence.
Its impact upon the decision-making process is much less direct -
it serves to alert the Board and the parties to areas in which evidence may need to be adduced.
It can be taken into account only to that extent.
By contrast, those individuals who seek leave to intervene pursuant to 10 C.F.R.
I 2.714, if admitted as carties in this case, are expected to participate ir.
the prehearing procedures and in the actual hearing, and to file proposed find-ings of fact, conclusions of law and briefs after the record has been formally closed.
