In the Matter of Consumers Power Company Midland Plant, Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-329 and 50-330
Dear Chairman Murphy:
I am writing to object to the Mapleton Intiervenors '
application for a further extension of time to take certain action beyond September 30, 1971, about which Mr. O'Connor and I just learned from clippings appearing in the September 17 and September 18 Tri-City area newspapers, copies of which are enclosed.
Although Dow's position in opposition to any such Mapleton application may be clear from the earlier record, so that a fuller statement would be unnecessary, obviously I cannot comment further with regard to the Mapleton letter to you because I have not seen it.
This is now the third time the Mapleton Intervenors have sought relief from the Board without furnishing copies to us, in violation of the Regulations, $$ 2.701(b) and 2.730(a), all rules of practice and common courtesy --
suggesting that the oversight may not be inadvertent.
Copies of our two earlier protests are attached.,
We have objected to the stated Mapleton practice of using publicity rather than lawful procedure to make their 80 07140}Of

points and advance their cause (see Dow Exhibit 1 for identification), although to no avail.
But surely the Board should take action to preclude the releasing of formal-applications to the press, while at the same timo denying them to some of the other partica.
In addition to oppocing any application 'y the Mapleton Intervenora to extend the September 30 dead-line, we request that the Board direct the Mapleton Inter-venorn to comply with the Regulations and other require-ments of law by furniching copies of all papers filed in this proceedlnc to all other parties at the time of filing, and that the Board not consider any Mapleton statement unaccompanied by a certification in form cimilar to that attached to this. letter, Recs. 5 2 701(b) and 2 712(e),
identifyinC 3pecifically to whom and when copien of the document were furnished, and signed by a party or member of the bar over whom the Board has control, Regs. $$ 2 713(b) and (c), 2 718.
The Board should no longer accept Mapleton statemento such~an "cc all parties" or "cc other couns~el."-
Respectfully, Milton R. Weccol MRW:ckl Enclosures cc:
