APPENDIX C NOTICE OF PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTIES Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Docket No.

50-317 Baltimore, Maryland 21203 License No. OPR-53 This office has considered the enforcement options available to the NRC including administrative actions in the form of written notices of violation, civil monetary penalties, and orders pertaining to the modification, suspensioti or revocation of a license.

Based on these considerations, we propose to impose civil penalties pursuant to Section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, (42 USC 2282), and to 10 CFR 2.205 in the cumulative amount of Twenty-One Thousand Dollars ($21,000.00) for the specific items of noncom-pliance set forth in Appendices A and B to the cover letter.

In proposing to impose civil penalties, the factors identified in the Statements of Considera-tion published in the Federal Register with the rule-making action which adopted 10 CFR 2.205 (36 FR 16894) August 26, 1971, and the " Criteria for Cetermining Enforcement Action," which was sent to NRC licensees on December 31, 1974, have been taken into account.

Baltimore Gas and Electric Company may, within twenty-five (25) days of the date of this notice pay the civil penalties in the cumulative amount of Twenty-One Thousand Dollars ($21,000.00) or may protest the imposition of civil penalties in whole or in part by a written answer.

Should Baltimore Gas and Electric Company fail to answer within the time specified, this office will issue an order imposing the civil penalties in the amount proposed above.

Should Baltimore Gas and Electric Company elect to file an answer protesting the civil penalties, such an answer may (a) deny the items of noncompliance listed in the Notice of Violation in whole or in part, (b) demonstrate extenua-ting circumstances, (c) show error in the Notice of Violation, (d) show other reasons why the penalties should not be imposed.

In addition to protesting the civil penalties in whole or in part, such answer may request remission or mitigation of the penalties.

Any written answer in accordance with 10 CFR 2.205 should be set forth separately from the statement or explanation in reply pursuant *.o 2.201, but may incorporate by specific reference (e.g., giving page and paragraph numbers) to avoid repetition.

Baltimore Gas and Electric Company's attention is directed to the other provisions of 10 CFR 2.205 regarding, in particular, failure to answer and ensuing orders; answer, consideration by this office, and ensuing orders; requests for hearings, hearings and ensuing orders; compromise, and collection.

Upon failure to pay any civil penalty due which has been subsequently determined in accordance with the applicabh o ovisions of 10 CFR 2.205, the matter may be referred to the Attorney Gen m l. and the penalty, unless compro-mised, remitted, or mitigated, may be collectec by civil action pursuant to Section 234.C of the Atomic Energy Act of 1951, as amended (42 USC 2282).
