SUGGESTION OF MOOTNESS The three petitioner Indian tribes which are before the Commission on review of the denial of their intervention are in receipt of the licensing board chairman's order of August 27, 1980, which provides in paragraph 4(d) that This proceeding shall be deemed to have been concluded insofar as the Skagit site is concerned and no further evidentiary hearings thereon are contemplated.
Petitioners construe this paragraph as indicating that the proceeding on the Skagit Nuclear Power Project near Sedro Woolley is for all intents and purposes terminated.
Petitioners further understand that in the event such proceeding is revived or otherwise reinstituted, a new notice of hearing would be initiated by the Commission and they would have an opportunity to intervene under normal Commission rules.
Under these cir-cumstances, petitioners see no purpose in further pursuing inter-vention.
Accordingly petitioners submit that full Commission review d

of the orders and opinions below is no longer necessary.
But petitioners also respectfully submit that the reports of Com-mission proceedings published under the Administrative Procedure Act, including official and unofficial reports, should contain an entry indicating that Commission review of the Licensing Board and Appeal Board actions below has been mooted in order to clarify the precedential value of those opinions, memoranda and orders.
