INTERVENOR SCANP 'S MOTION TO REQUIRE IMP LEMENTATION OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 12114 On January 4, 1979, the President issued Executive Order 17114, entitled " Environmental Ef fects Abroad of Major Federal Actions." A copy of the order and the White House fact sheet accompanying the order are attached to this motion. The purpose of the order is described in section 1, which states that the order furthers the purpose i l
of NEPA and other acts regarding actions taken with respect )
l to the environment outside the United States. Section 2 l requires every federal agency taking major f ederal actions having significant effects on the environment outside the geographical borders of the United States to adept proce-dures no later than October 4, 1979 to implement this Executive Orde r. Section 2-4 of the order desccibes the l types of documents which can be prepared in order to 1

l implement the order. Section 2-5 exempts certain actions fiom the order, but none of the exemptions are applicable either to the NRC generally or tc the Skagit project in particular. See accompanying White House fact sheet, at 2 (nuclear reactors are subject to the environmental resiew requirements of the order).
Thus, under Executive Order 12114, the NRC is under the duty to adopt procedures to implement the order no later than October 4, 1979, and the order ir3 applicable to every major action taken by the NRC which significantly affects the environment of a foreign nation not partici-pating with the United States and not otherwise involved in the action. Executive Order 12114, Section 2-3(b) . The requirement to consider international ef fects of a major federal action exists independently of the order, in NEP A ,
see 42 U.S.C. 54332(2)(F) (agencies have duties to recognize world wide and long-range character of environmental pro-ble ms ) ; id. S 4332( 2) (C) (EIS's must address environmental impacts of major federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment: secpe not limited to environment within United States); 40 CFR S1500.8( a) (agen-cies must assess positive and negative effects of proposed, action as action af fects both national and international environment).

The NRC has not implemented the Executive Order, although it clearly is required to do so by the plain and unambiguous terms of the order. Cf. Calvert Cli f fs ' Co-ordinatino Committee v. A.E.C., 449 F.2d 1109, 2 ERC 1779 (D.C. Cir. 1971), cert denied , 404 U.S. 982 (1972) (NRC does not have discretion to delay implementation of NEPA beyond effective date provided in statute). Nor has the NRC satisfied the subsequent requirements of the Executive Order with respect to the environmental effects of the proposed Skagit nuclear power plant upon the environment of British Columbia, Canada. The impacts of the proposed {
plant upon British Columbia, whose larges t city, Vancouver i
(with a population in excess of one million persons), lies only 35 miles downwind of the plant site, are significant.
See limited appearance of the B.C. Medical Association, Fol. Tr. 11,986. The concerns expressed by Canadians and residents of British Columbia over the possibility of air contamination, the effects of radiation, potential necessity v.
to evacuate major Canadian cities, expected damage to salmon and shellfish beds, adverse ef fects upon bald eagles and other birds using the Pacific flyways, and the limita-i tion of liability placed by the Price-Anderson Act have not been addressed. Id. None of these environmental effects upon Canadians and residents of British Columbia are assessed or discussed in .any environmental impict statement.
Thus, the conclusion is inescapable that Execu tive Order _
12114 is acplicable to the Skagit project, and that the NRC has not established procedures to implement the order as it is required to do by the' order itself and by NEPA. See Calvert Clif fs ', suora.
SCANP therefore asserts that the NRC, acting through this Licensing Board, is cons trained and prohibited from issuing any construction permits, limited work au thoriza-tions, or taking any other major federal action until the NRC has adopted procedures to implement Executive Order 12114, and until those procedures have been followed in this docket. In anticipation that the NRC will adop t procedures as required to implement the Execu tive Order, and in order to expedite this proceeding while insuring that the require-ments of federal law are met, SCANP requests the Board to direct the Staf f immediately to undertake such research and study as is recuired to insure full consideration of the environmental ef fects of the proposed Skagit Project upon the human environment in Canada, including preparation of an EIS or EIS supplement to address these significant effects.
Finally, SCANP requests that, because the adequacy of the environmental impact statements (LWA Issue A) is an issue which cannot be resolved until Executive Order 12114 has-been implemented and executed in this docket, that the Board defer consideration of that issue until evidentiary hearings W
omy n -m- w ,m-sm ww> m mW - -~r--m.
with respect to the S taf f 's compliance with Execu tive Order 12114 are concluded, and until the parties have had the opportunity to propes e findings of f act and conclusions of -
law with respect thereto.
