Cole Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 Re: In the Matter of Commonwealth Edison Company (Byron Station, Units 1 and 2) Docket Nos. 50-454, 50-455 Gentlemen: In accordance with the Licensing Board's request for a progress report on continuing negotiations between the Applicant, intervenors and the NRC Staff regarding con-tentions in the Byron Station operating licensing proceeding, the following is an update since the last report by letter dated November 27, 1979, from Myron Karman, counsel for the NRC Staff, to the Licensing Board. 1. On January 22, 1980, representatives of the Applicant, MRC Staff counsel and Dr. Julianne Mahler, spokes-person for I: AARE and SAFE, held a telephone conference call regarding the DAARE and SAFE contentions. Dr. Mahler indi-cated that the " Statement of Contentions" dated December 10, 1979, filed in this proceeding and served on all parties, were not intended to represent the final contentions of DAARE and SAFE. Counsel for the Applicant and counsel for the NRC Staff had been previously advised that said " State-ment of Contentions" reflected draft contentions for nego-tiation. Both the NRC Staff and the Applicant have forwarded to Dr. Mahler written comments and statements of positions with respect to these draft contentions. Dr. Mahler indi-cated that, based on the comments of the Applicant and NRC Staff, together with additional information requested of the M - p soo ste o W

Applicant, DAARE and SAFE would be prepared to determine its final position on all contentions by February 8, 1980. This time frame is acceptable to both the Applicant and the NRC Staff. Although the parties have not fully discussed all ministorial details, it is anticipated that very shortly after February 8, 1980, the parties will present their posi-tions on the final contentions of DAARE and SAFE, possibly in the form of a stipulation between all parties, and submit briefs in support of their positions within a reasonable time thereafter. 2. With respect to the intervention by the League of Women Voters of Rockford, the status of negotia-tions remains as stated in Mr. Karman's letter of November 7, 1979; that is, the parties are awaiting receipt from the League of Women Voters of draft revised contentions to examine for the purpose of determining the possible areas of agreement. This status is also identical to the status as reported in the October 12, 1979 letter from Myron Karman to the Licensing Board. I was informed today by Mrs. Betty Johnson that Myron Cherry has been retained to act as counsel for the League of Women Voters in this proceeding and would be filing shortly a notice of appearance and revised state-ment of contentions. I was unable to reach Mr. Cherry to learn when this filing would take place. Respectfully,, Q !lWh kuf r fr l\\ V IJ I Paul M.
