Dear Ms. Cohn:
This letter is sent to acknowledg'e your letter dated June 5,1980, on behalf of the City of Gary, Indiana, United Steelworkers of America Local 6787, the Bailly - Alliance, Save the Dunes Council and the Critical Mass Energy Project in which these organizations request to join in the State of Illinois' request for action to suspend or revoke the construction permit. for the Bailly facility. Your request is based on your view that consideration should be given to whether the popula-tion in the vicinity of Bailly can be evacuated within a reasonable period of time in the event of a nuclear accident at this facility. The State of Illinois' original letter on this matter dated November 13, 1979, is being treated as a request for action under 10 CFR 2.206 of the Commission's regulations. We have recently suggested to Illinois (Enclosure) that we delay for a number of months, our response to its petition pending the outcome of a risk assessment study we may request Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) to perform. We will contact you regarding a meeting with my staff on ~this matter as you request following the formal issuance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's report on the evacuation feasibility study within a ten-mile radius of the Bailly facility. This report has been issued to the appropriate states and local governments for comment and we anticipate that it will be officially published in a few months. Sincerely, GriginalSkud W , M. R.
