ORDER November 25, 1980 The applicant has moved for an extension from December 2 to December 31, 1980 of the time within which to file its brief.
The motion is based principally upon the pressure of other busi-ness.
It represents that counsel for the NRC staff has no ob-jection to the extension but that applicant's counsel had been unable to reach intervenors' counsel to ascertain his position.
In this regard, an inquiry made of applicant's counsel by the Secretary to this Board disclosed that a number of telephone calls had been placed by him to intervenors' counsel on Novem-ber 21, 24 and 25.
None of those calls had been returned.
Normally, we would be disinclined to grant an extension of this magnitude without first obtaining the position of counsel 1

. for all other parties to the proceeding.
In this instance, however, we are granting the motion for good cause shown with-out waiting to obtain the views of intervenors' counsel.
This action appears justified in view of (1) the repeated endeavors of applicant's counsel to contact the intervenors' counsel; and (2) the fact that the intervenors themselves had earlier re-quested and obtained a 30 day extension of the time within which to file their brief.
l The time for the filing of the applicant's brief is hereby extended to and including December 31, 1980.
The time for the filing of the brief of the NRC staff is correspondingly extended to and including January 12, 1981.
It is so ORDERED.
