)
Florida Power Corporation Docket No. 50-302A (Crystal River No. 3
)
Nuclear Generating Plant)
)
ANSWER OF AEC REGULATORY STAFF TO CONDITIONAL REQUEST FOR HEARING AND PETITION TO INTERVENE In answer to the statement of Position and Conditional Request for Hearing and Petition to Intervene in the above entitled matter by the City of Gainesville, Florida, and the Gainesville Utilities Depart: rent, AEC Regulatory Staff requests that the Petition be denied for the follow-ing reasons.
1.
The staff has requested atensions of time, without objection of the parties., to answer the conditional request for a hearing-anc petition to intervene.
2.
During the extension period the staff attempted to obtain clarification of all of the commitments made by Florida Power Corpcration to the Department of Justice.
3.
One of the commitments made by Florida Power Corporation was that:
Applicant will facilitate the exchange of bulk power by transmissico over its system between or.among two or more entities with which it is interconnected on terms which will fully compensate it for the use of its system to the extent
- that subject arrangements reasonably can be acconrodated from a functional-and technical standpoint.
8008240 b 5 M
2-4.
Petitioner asserts that this statement is unsatisfactory, "unless it is interpreted as an unqualified obligation to transmit bulk power upon sufficient advance _ notice as may be required to accommodate the arrangement from a functional and technical standpoint."
5.
During discussions with appTicant's counsel concerning the clarification of the commitments to the Department of Justice, it was deter-mined that Florida Power Corporation's management had approved of several explanatory notes which could be included as a part of its Operating License for Crystal River No. 3 Nuclear Unit.
6.
One of the explanatory notes which Florida Power Corporation's management has approved is that:
Applicant is obligated under this condition [ referred to above]
to transmit bulk power for other entities on tne terms stated above, and to include in its planning and construction prograas sufficient transmission capacity as required therefor, provided that such other entities give applicant sufficient advance notice as may be required to accommodate this arrangement from a functional and technical standpoint and that the other entities will be obligated to compensate applicant fully for the use of its system.
7.
As indicated above, other explanatory notes have been discussed and a mutual understanding with counsel as to all has not been attained; however, only a few points = remain unresolved.

4 8.
Petitioners further assert that in order for the commitments to be enforceable, it.is necessary that the license conCitions require the
~
filing of a transmission service rate schedule at the Federal Power Commission under the Federal Power Act.
9.
The applicant understands, as indicated in its letter to the Department of Justice setting forth its commitments, that:
The implementation of the foregoing policies and trans-actions [ commitments] shall be. consistent with the pro-visions of the Federal Power Act.
Further, all rates,
charges or practices in connection therewith will be subject to the approval of those regulatory agencies having juris-diction over them.
10.
The staff believes that the understanding it has with applicant's counsel and the terms of the commitments appear to satisfy the request made by petitioner.
Accordingly, it is requested that the Conditional Request for Hear-ing and Petition to Intervene be denied.
Respectfully submitted, J.ie. Rutberg
