Docket No. 50-471 Gentlemen:

The question of consideration of Class 9 accidents in the Staff's environmental statement on the floating nuclear power plant manufacturing license application is pending before the full Com-mission. In the Matter of offshore Power Systems (Floating Nuclear Power Plants), Docket No. STN 50-437, 8 NRC (1978)1/. As you no doubt are aware, the staff has argued to the Commission that in certain situations, NEPA consideration should be given to Class 9 accident consequences for both land-based and floating plants.

The Commonwealth brings this matter to the Board's atten-tion at this time, and requests the right to raise the Class 9 issue in the instant proceeding after the Commission has announced its decision on the c"sistion. jf Since/-rely, -
