of Consumers Power Company (Midland Plant).,

Docket Nos. 50-329, 50-330 Gentlemen:

Reference is made to our letter dated June 18,1971 (RAW-177), in which -

we asked that appropriate objection be made to the disclosure of certain Westinghouse proprietary reports in the above captioned hearing, which hearing does not involve a Westinghouse nuclear steam supply system. In our letter, we further requested that if the Director of Regulation" plans.

to authorize production of the reports or the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board plans to consider the issuance of an order requiring such production, Westinghouse be furnished reasonable advance notice of such proposed action and the opportunity to be heard in connection with this matter.

We now have been advised by the office of the General Counsel, Atomic Energy Commission, that in connection with the above captioned hearing the ASLB proposes to enter an order which, inter alia, would call for an evi-dentiary hearing on the underlying question of the proprietary nature of the documents. We wish to reiterate that Westinghause does not authorize .

the production of the reports involved, which repcets have been designated proprietary by Westinghouse.
