JUN 6 1980 Mr. David L. Allred 231 Oak Forest Drive Montgomery, Alabama 36109
Dear Mr. Allred:
This is in response to your letter of April 21,1980, in which you requested that we hold another scoping meeting to accept additional on the scope of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (public comentsDEIS) rela the proposed construction and operation of the Westinghouse plant at Prattville, Alabama. As I stated at the scoping meeting, which was held on March 27, 1980, we will accept and address any comments relating to the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement received after the April 3, 1980, date specified in the notice, to the extent our schedule for the preparation of the DEIS permits. Under the current schedule, I would ex-pect that any comments received by mid-July of this year can easily be accommodated in the DEIS.
As you know, the March 27, 1980, scoping meeting was undertaken in Prattville, Alabama, after NRC provided notice of the meeting to the public.
The meeting was held for the purpose of encouraging public comment on the proposed scope of the DEIS and to solicit additional issues that the interested parties wished to see addressed in the DEIS. The NRC was grati-fied with the public response to the meeting. Many of the 150 people who attended availed themselves of the opportunity to coment on the proposed scope of the DEIS.
In view of the past public response and present opportunity for the sub-mission of further comment in writing, as noted above, it would appear that the purpose of " scoping" is being continued and is being accomplished.
Under these circumstances, I feel another scoping meeting for the sole purpose of receiving oral comments rather than written comments, for which provision ncs been made, is not warranted, and that the experse and effort required for holding such a meeting would outweigh any benefits which would result therefrom.
