NRC STAFF RESPONSE TO APPLICANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS MIAMI POWER PROJECT AS A PARTY On December 19, 1978 Applicant served Interrogatories upon Miami Power Project (MPP), an intervening party in this proceeding relating to their contentions. Applicant and MPP discussed the Interrogatories on January 9,1979, this discussion being confirmed by a letter dated January 9,1979 from Applicants' counsel to MPP offering to extend the time to answer to January 16, 1979. As of this date the Statf has seen no response,and Applicants' filing of January 29, 1979 states that they have had no response. Applicants now move to dismiss MPP or, in the alternative, for the Board to issue an order requirina the MPP to respond.

The Staff fully supports the Applicaats' position that meaningful response to discovery is an essential element of orderly administrative procecdings.

The Staff has itself moved in many proceedings to enforce its discovery rights. ine proper remedy at this stage is for the Board to issue an order pursuant to 10 CFP. 52.740(f) requiring MPP prcmptly and meaningfully 790305 @ >

-. to respond to Applicants' Interrogatories of December 19,1978, and if 1PP fails to comply with this order, then to strike MPP's contentions and dismiss MPP as a party Intervenor.
