Mr. David Santee Miller, Washington, D.C.,

for the petitioner, Sensible Maine Power.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER July 29, 1980 (ALAB-602)

On July 14, 1980,.the Licensing Board entered an un-published interlocutory order in this proceeding which granted the licensee's motion to postpone the special prehearing con-ference until after October 1, 1980.

A petitioner for inter-vention in the proceeding, Sensible Maine Power, seeks to appe.1 from that order.

j The appeal must be summarily dismissed.

Section 2.730(f) i of the Commission's Rules of Practice, 10 CFR 2.730(f),

b503 5

contains a general prohibition against inter-locutory appeals from licensing board rulings f g made during the course of a proceeding.

The so o 7 s.t.o g 3

o.

. single exception to this prohibition is found in 10 CFR 2.714a.

Insofar as a petitioner for intervention is concerned, that Section allows an appeal from an order concerning his petition if -- but only if -- the order denied the petition outright.

~Public Service Co. of Oklahoma (Black Fox Station, Units 1 and 2), ALAB-37 0, 5 NRC 131 (1977),and cases there cited.--1/

Appeal dismissed.

l It is so ORDERED.

FOR THE APPEAL PANEL CHAIRMAN C. Jeg'g Bishop i

Secretary to the Appeal Panel This action was taken by the Appeal Panel Chairman under the authority of 10 CFR 2.787 (b).

_/

Sensible Maine Power would not be aided were its papcrs 1

.to be treated alternatively as a request that we exercise our authority to review the July 14 order as a matter of

-discretion.

See 10 CFR 2.718(i) as interpreted in Public Service Co. of New Hampshire (Seabrook Station, Units 1 and

2),. ALAB-2 71, 1 NRC 478, 482-83 (1975).

We have made it clear that that authority normally will not be invoked to entertain scheduling controversies.

See e~.g., Consumers Power Co. (Midland Plant, Units 1 and 2), ALAB-541, 9 NRC 436, 437-38 (1979),and cases there cited.

Our attention has been called to1no extraordinary circumstances which might warrant making an exception to the general rule in

~

this instance.
