NRC STAFF'S RESPONSE TO APPLICANT'S MOTION TO SCHECULE SPECIAL PREHEARING CONFERENCE PURSUANT TO 10 CFR 62.751a For the reasons stated therein, the NRC Staff supports the Applicant's " Motion to Scher.=le Special Prehearing Conference Pursuant to 10 CFR 62.751a" filed s
on July 30, 1979, in the captioned proceeding.
However, we do so with one caveat.
In its Motion, the Applicant requests that the Board require the petitioners to " respond to inquiries as to the basis for their statements that they failed to file petitions... under the Board's notices of May 31 and September 11, 1978, because of the restrictions on contentions contained in those notices" and that each of the petitioners who filed a "fonn petition" should be " required to respond to such Board inquiries under oath." While the Staff certainly believes that the Board should satisfy itsr.lf that the petitioners have complied with the intent of the June ~18,1979 " Supplemental Notice of Intervention Procedures," we do not believe that extensive inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the filing of each petition is necessary.
Nor do we believe that any petitioner shocid be required to respond under oath to inquiries the Board might make in this_ regard.
Respectfully submitted, j
m./
Stephen M. Schinki 1098 017 Counsel for NRC Staff Dated at Bethesda, Maryland, y910040UO) this 3rd day of August, 1979.
