.INTERVENORS MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION OR, ,

IN THE ALTERNATIVE, FOR RECONSIDERATION Intervenors-are in receipt of the Commission's November 21, 4 1989' Order (received by the Mass AG at 3:20 P.M..on November 4

21, 1989). For the reasons that follow, Intervenors seek clarification or reconsideration:

1. Intervenors assume that the Commission in issuing this November 21 Order intended to effect some change in its November 16. schedule for Intervenor 5 2.764 comments, stay requests and supplemental memoranda (the " supplement") in support of their November 13 Motion to Revoke.

2. However, the November 16 Order had required that:

a. Applications for stay and the supplement be filed i and "in the hands of counsel for the Applicants and the NRC Staff" on the 8th day following the date of issuance of the awaited Licensing Board " explanation." TLat date turns out to er 0912050163 891121 gDR- ADOCK 050g3

} 303

il V ' n; '

I B

have been November 20 and, therefore, the eighth day after is ~

' November 28.- Obviously, to effect in hand service Intervenors' will:have to' deposit their pleadings with an overnight mail service on November 27, 1989. >

b. The November 16 Order had also set November 27 as the date for " filing" comments. (It did not require, however, that these comments be received by November 28.) ,

c. The November 21 Order purported to amend the

~

November 16 schedule ~by having " comments" " filed" by Tuesday, November 28 But then this " filing" is described as on the "same schedule as set out (in the November 16 Order) for the filing .cHE a supplement . . . and stay motions," i.e. in hand on November 28.

d. Assuming the Commission actually intended to

amend something by the November 21 Order, Intervenors are now i t.

L unclear what filing "by November 28, 1989" means.

l-L 3. Further, in light of the date of issuance of the

-" explanation" and the coincidence of the filing burdens placed on Intervenors (comments, " supplement" and stay petitions all L due, for_no apparent reason, on the same day) Intervenors seek 1

reconsideration of this schedule. Not only does the i intervening period include a holiday during which staffing is

. uneven at best, but the Licensing Board's " explanation" L

p I

, promises yet another " explanation" on Intervenors' scope challenges. The commission should issue a staggered schedule with the " supplement" being due first since the " explanation" is now available. In this vein, Intervenors note that under

$ 10 ' ' ,

i; a: r

c i

commission practice, the Appeal Board does-not even often entertain stay applications pursuant to'5 2.788 until after the a

Commission's immediate effectiveness = review is complete.
