In its petition, the State of flew Hampshire requested the Federal agencies to conduct joint proceedings to adopt rules to achieve efficiency in licensing the construction and operation of nuclear power facilities. The State also identified sixteen specific results which it wished to achieve.

On the basis of these comments and in the light of the current extensive review and evaluation of f1RC licensing requirements and procedures occasioned by the events at Three rifle Island Unit 2, the Commission concluded that the petition should be denied.
