Docket Nos. 50-361 A 50-362A Mr. Gordon W. Hoyt Utilities Director P. O. Box 3222 Anaheim, California 92803

Dear Mr. Hoyt:

SAN ON0FRE NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS N0. 2 AND NO. 3 The NRC staff is currently reviewing the operating license applications for the captioned nuclear units to see if any antitrust related significant changes have occurred since the previous construction permit review.

This was or will snortly be noticed in the Federal Register inviting comments from interested parties (copy attached).

There are specfic questions we have of Anaheim as follows which we would appreciate if Anaheim could answer.

1.

In your March 24, 1978 letter to Mr. R. L. Myers of Southern California Edison, you stated that the California Energy Resources Conservation ar.d Development Commission in reporting to the Legislature had suggested that the participants in the proposed Sundesert Nuclear Project purchase from Edison an interest in the Lucerne Valley Project.

Please provide any documentation or other basis that would have suggested to the Energy Commission that Edison would offer or allow participation in Lucerne.

2.

In October,1976, you wrote to Mr. K. L. Turley, President of Arizona Public Service Company, expressing an interest to participate in an amount of 50 MW in each of the Palo Verde Nuclear Units 1, 2, and 3, together with the related transmission lines to Calfiornia.

What response did Anaheim receive? What transmission alternatives did Anaheim consider other than joint ownership with Southern California Edison? What are the reasons that Anaheim did not ultimately choose to participate in the Palo Verde units? Under what conditions, if any, would Anaheim have choosen to participate in the units? Under what conditions, if any, would Arizona Public

4 Mr. Gordon W. Hoyt Service Company.have permitted Anaheim to participate in the units?

Do you know why LADWP chose to participate in the units, whereas Anaheim did not? Do you know LADWP's arrangements for transmission from Palo Verde to California?

3.

Has Anaheim taken any services under its Integrated Operations Agreement (10A) and associated agreements with Edison? If not, why not? If so, has Anaheim experienced any particular difficulties?

Did any outside engineering or economic consultants assist Anaheim in working out the terms and conditions of the 10A and related agreements? Have the terms and conditions of the 10A and related agreements been interpreted as Anaheim initially understood them?

If not, what changes in the interpretation have occurred?

4.

Are there any other matters that you are aware of that you think that the NRC staff should consider in its review as to whether antitrust related significanc changes have occurred in Edison's activities?

Please respond at your earliest opportunity.
