~ Docket No. 50-289 Mr. Don tiossler 501 Vine Middletown, Pennsylvania 170ii7 ,

Dear Mr. Hossier:

I am writing to ackncwledge that your card to President Carter was forwarded to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for response. ,

In your correspcndence, you advocated intervenor funding for the activities relating to the restart hearings for Three Mile Island nuclear Station, Unit No. 1.

A request for intervenor funding in this case was recently raised by the Censumer Advocate of Pennsylvania. The Commission issued a menorandum and Crder en Pay 16, 1980 in which the request for finan-cial assistance from the Comission for the purpose of retaining experts who will submit studies and/or testify before the Atomic '

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 Recon-sideration" dated Pay 30, 1980, in which it requested the Comission to reconsider its decision to deny funding to intervenors ir. the TMI-l restart proceeding. On June 16, 1980, the NRC staff filed a response to the 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 w i:

adequate basis for its conclusion not to fund them. The Comission has not issued a final rulir'g regarding the Pay 30, 1980 petition. .

The docur.ents referenced above, as ,:cIl as a copy of an October 16, 1979 decision by the Licensing Board on this subject, should be available for your review at the local public docurent rooms, located ,

in Harrisburg at the State Library of Pennsylvania, or in York at the York College of Pennsylvania, i

-l I hope this information has been of assistance. g Sincerely, n

g.
