MOTION TO HOLD PROCEEDINGS IN ABEYANCE Pursuant to the provisions of 10 C.F.R. 2.711 (a),

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PGandE) hereby requests that all further proceedings in this matter be stayed and held in abeyance for an additional period of nine months to and including October 1, 1979.

On June 9, 1977, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a Notice of Proposed Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License regarding the above-captioned proceeding (42 Fed. Reg. 31847, June 23, 1977).

The Notice provided that any person whose interest might be affected by the proceedings could file a petition to intervene no later than July 25, 1977.

Two petitions for leave to intervene were thereafter filed in this proceeding. /While these petitions for intervention 1

The Petition of Thomas K.

Collins, Dr. Elment Honea, Frederick P.

Cranston, Wesley Chesbro, Demetrios L.

Mitsanas and the Six Rivers Branch of Friends of the Earth was filed on or about July 20, 1977.

The Petition of the Sierra Club was filed on or about August 16, 1977.

Responses to these petitions were filed by the NRC staff on August 26, 1977.

PGandE responded to both petitions on October 14, 1977.

were under consideration, PGandE filed a Motion to Hold Proceedings in Abeyance on March 24, 1978.

In that motion, PGandE requested an additional nine months time to perform certain geological and other work which it proposed to do in connection with its amendment.

PGandE indicated in that motion that, at that time, it felt that it would be in a position to proceed in the matter at the expiration of this period.

Thereafter, on May 16, 1978, the Licensing Board, which had been constituted to hear the Petitions for Intervention, issued an order (1) denying without prejudice PGandE's Motion to Hold Proceedings in Abeyance and (2) granting the Petitions for Intervention.

In that order, the Licensing Board observed that its function was merely to rule on the Petitions for Intervention and that once another Licensing Board had been appointed to hear the case, PGandE could, if it wished, renew its Motion to Hbld in Abeyance.

No further action was taken in the matter until a newly constituted Licensing Board, which had been appointed to hear and decide the case, issued an order on January 11, 1979, requiring PGandE and the Regulatory Staff to submit by February 2, 1979, their written responses to any of the filed contentions which the parties believed should not be admitted as issues in the proceeding.

As indicated in its first Motion to Hold Proceedings in Abeyance dated March 24, 1978, PGandE has conducted geologic and other work in connection with the proposed amendment to its Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant operating license.

However, the earlier estimate of the time required to complete and analyze 2.
