l MOTION TO STRIKE STAFF REPORT

~AND TO ENFORCE BOARD ORDER FOR INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS Earlier in these proceedings-the-Licensing Board l

ordered the ' Regulatory Staff to do an indepth and inder 2nden't

[

analysis of possible, inconsistencies ;between the record of the Midland proceeding and information ' submitted by Consumers l

Power Company to the Michigan Public Service Commission.

l The Report filed by the Staff in May 1977 is neither an analysis of:the entire inconsistencies and on its face' demonstrates that it was notIindependently prepared and is based upon information obtained from Consumers.

See Report, pp. - 2, 22, and our" Response of Intervenors Other Than Dow l

ChemicalcCompany to Feld/Gunders.en Report on the Inconsistencies L

.Between~ Consumers' Rate Case Filin'g and its Testimony ~'in the

~

Suspension'. Hearings" filed contemporaneously,with this Motion.

It'makes no sense for.the~ Board to order the Staff to do an independent-review and then have the Staff attempt to (80d8070) k [

?-

- discharg'e - that heavy responsibility by copying information

'from Consumers.

That kind of tactic turns the whole process into a deadly joke.

Accordingly, we move for the entry of an order that the May 1977 Report by the Staff be stricken and that it be~ ordered to prepare a new report on the inconsistencies.

Given1the reluctance of the Staff' to do any independent i-analysis, we also seek an order from the Board setting forth

. specific instructions.co the Staff as to how it will comply with its independent obligations.

' Wherefore, we request the entry of an order consistent.with this Motion.
