Subsequently the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by its Governor, the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission, the Consumer Advocate of Pennsylvania, and the County of Dauphin filed petitions to participate as government agencies under 10 CFR 62.715(c).
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board has also received eleven private petitions for leave to inter-vene under 10 CFR 52.714.
On September 21, the board issued a memorandum and order preliminarily ruling on petitions and setting a schedule for certain prehearing activities in this proceeding.
Parties, petitioners and interested members of the public will please take notice that the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will conduct a special prehearing conference as required by the Commission,'s Order and Notice of Hearing and by 10 CFR 92.751a of the Commission's regulations.
The conference will be conducted in two sessions.
The first session will begin at 9:00 A.M. on November 8, 1979 at:
The Forum Education Building Commonwealth Avenue and Walnut Street Harrisburg, Pennsylvania This session may extend until November 9.
The purpose of the first session is to permit identifica-tion of key issues in the proceeding and to provid/ for the further identification of issues ; to consider all intervention 15 9
.. petitions as amended and supplemented; to consider contentions, the status of parties to the proceeding, and the desirability of consolidating parties.
The board will also consider the extent of participation by the interested Commonwealth agencies and the County of Dauphin.
A schedule for discovery and further actions in the pro-ceeding will also be considered.
The licensee, NRC staff and all intervention petitioners or their respective counsel, are directed to attend and to participate.
Counsel for the participating Commonwealth agencies and the County of Dauphin are requested to attend.
The public is invited to attend but there will be no opportunity for public participation during the first session.
The Commission has received many requests to make limited appearance statements in this proceeding.
This opportunity is provided for in the Commission's regulation, 10 CFR 92.715(a).
The board will conduct a second session of the special pre-hearing conference set aside for public limited appearance statements.
Subsessions of the public appearance session will begin at 1:30 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. on November 15 and 9:00 A.M.
and 1:00 P.M.

Any person who is not a party to this proceeding may make an oral or written limited appearance statement of his position on the issues to be decided in this proceeding.
The board will explain the nature of the proceeding, summarize the issues falling within the scope of the hearing and attempt to answer questions from the public.about the proceeding.
Persons making limited appearance statements may propose questions they wish answered by the licensee and the NRC staff and they may recommend subjects to be addressed by the evidence in the hearing.
The board will consider these questions and recommendations to the extent they are within the scope of the proceeding and are other-wise appropriate.
Because of the large number of requests to make limited appearance statements the board forsees the possible need to impose a five minute time limit on the length of oral state-ments, but written statements may be any reasonable length.
Written statements may be presented to the board at any session or they may be mailed to the Secretary of the Commission, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.
