Dear Mr. Hossler:
Mstine I am writing to ackncwledge that your ca'd to President Carter was fonvarded to the Nuclear Pegulatory Comission (NRC) for res;mnse.
In your corre:pondence, you advocated intervenor fundino for the activities relating to the restart hearings'M Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit No.1.
A request for intervenor funding in this case was recently raised by the Consumer Advocate of Pennsylvania. The Comission issued a memorandum and Order en May 16,1980 in which the recuest for finan-cial assistance from the Comission for the purpose of retaining experts who will submit studies and/or testify before the A+wmic Safety and Licensing Board was denied. The Comission denied the Consumer Advocates request in light of the advice received from the Comptroller General and the legislative history associated with the fiscal year 1980 appropriations legislation.
The Consumer Advocate of Pennsylvania filed a " Petition for Tcp sideratien dated May 30, 1980, in which it requested the Comission d
to reconsider its decision to deny ftsiding to intervenors in the TMI-1 restart proceeding. On June 16, 1980, the NRC staff filed a response to ide petition, in which the staff. opposed the request upon the ground that the Comission properly exercised its discre-tion on the issue of whether to fund intervenors and set forth an adequate basis for its conclusion not to fund them. The Comission l
has not issued a final r' 'ing regarding the May 30, 1980 petition.
J The documents referenced above, as well as a copy of an October 16, 1979 decision by the Licensin.g Board on this subject, should be available for your review at the local public document rooms, loca+M in Ha'erbburg at the State Library of Pennsylvania. or in York at the "cTk College of Pennsylvania.
I hope this infomation has been of assistance.
