Docl.et Nos. 50-361 OL and 50-362 01 Gentlemen:
In accordance with the Licensing Board's Memorandum and Order of October 2, 1978, thin is to advise the Licensing Board of the status of the NRC Staff's dis-covery and its estimater, for issuance of the Safety Evaluation.:cport and envi-ronmental ctatements as well as a date for commencement of the hearing. On June 23,1978, the Staff served interrogatories upon Intervenors Friends of the Earth, et al. (FOE) and GUARD. To date, renpennes have been received only from FOE. GUARD's responses, pursuant to the Licensing Board's Order Compelling GUARP., Respond to NRC Staff Interrogatories, datec'. September 29, 1978, were to be served on or before October 15, 1978. On October 17, 1978 the undersigned was informed by Counsel for GUARD that service of GUARD's responses would be made on that date.
Regarding the issuance of the Staff's Safety Evaluation Report and environmental statem nts, we currently expect to issue the Safety Evaluation Report in February, 1979, the Draft Environmental Statement in early November,1978 and the Final Environmental Statement in March,1979.
?S1LO30ggq -
a With respec t to commence.nent of the hearing, the Staff } coposes the following schedule (which includeu intermediate milestones):
DI:S is uned early November 1978 SER issued early February 1979 FES issued early March 1979 Final discovery requests on environmental matters served March 24,1979 Responses to interrogatories on environmental matters served April 12,1979 Responses to requests for documents on environmental mattern served April 28,1979 Final Prehearing Conference on environmental matters May 9,1979 Testimony filed on environ-mental matters May 22,1979 IIcaring commences on environmental matters June 7,1979 SER supplement including ACRS letter and Staff responses thereto late June 1979 Firml discovery requests on safety matters served July 7,1979 Responses to interrogatories on safety n.atters served July 26,1979 Responses to requests foi docu-ments on safety matters served August 11, 1979 Final Prehearing Conference on safety matters September 6,1979 Testimony filed on safety matters September 25, 1979 licaring commences on safety
, matters October 11, 1979
Of course, the Staff would expect discovery regarding safety matters to co: 'ence upon issuance of the SER in February 3 979 and would not a.rait issuance of the supplement. Thus, discovery, if any, after issuance of the SER, would be anti-cipated to be minimal and limited to matters not previously addressed in the SER.
The foregoir.g schedule is tentative and is subject to change as the Staff's review Furthermore, it assumes that discovery requests based on the SER progresses.
and supplement and FES will be filed within about two weeks after issuance of the respective document. Given the extensive peried over which discovery has been underway thus far, such more limited period seeins to be entirely appro-priate. The schedule also is based on responses to discovery requests being served as provided by the Commission's Rules of Practice, specifically 10 CFR SS 2.740b(b), and 2.741(d) and the prefiling of written testimony pursuant to 10 CFR S 2.743(b).
