-t This.is in. response to your letter of June. 26,1974.7concoming the Midland facility. You are apparently under the afstaken lapression that W Commission has adopted a new regulation or.

a y

you have referta to a Comunission staff study entitled " Population Distribution n.. wad Nuclear Pouer Plants Sites

. made public by the Commission. A copy is enclosed. This staff

<~

working paper is only that. It does not presently represent.

- official Commission policy. A recent decision by the Atomic

- Safety and Licensing Appeal Board concerning the Indian Point-cr -

facility in New York discusses the significan:e of this staff

As to the legal issues involved in the appeal pending before the

-C*

4 United States Court of Appeals for the District of Coimbia Circuit concerning the Midland facility, they do not, of course, involve the a;911 cab 111ty of any new siting regulations, because ne such

Ni regulations M w been adopted. Your attorney's views as to the issues in that case are set forth in his briefs, which I assume are available to you.
