2 a request for an extension of the completion date. Construction hJs been delayed due to two deferrals of the in-service date for Unit No. 3.

Contribut-ing to the two deferrals were:

This action involves no significant hazards consideration; good cause has been shown for the delay; and the requested extension is for a reasonable period, the bases for which are set forth in the staff evaluation, dated March 26, 1980. The preparation of an environmental impact statement for this particular action is not warranted because there will be no environmental 4

A Negative Declaration and an Environmental Impact Appraisal have been prepared and are available, as are the above stated documents, for pulbic inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room,1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.,
