'M / , g c.s Applicant, THE REGENTS OF THE' UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNI 14 supports fully the "NRC Staff Motion for Reconsideration" 'kNfch i
15 seeks reconsideration by.the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board of j 16 its Order of April 30, 1981 and 'a determ' i riation by the Board 17 that the,NRC Staff Motion for Summary Disposition (dated April 13, 18 1981) was submitted in a timely manner. The Applicant urges 19 the Board to issue the clarifying order requested by the NRC Staff.
20 ,
21 II. DISCUSSION 22 i I
23 A. The Staff's Motion for Summary Disposition was Timely 24 !
25p Staff, in its motion for reconsideration, has explained 26 lI!what Staff intended when it proposed its discovery schedule at i
27 lthe end of February 4-5, 1981 special prehearing conference.
1 28 ' Staff has also explained the substance and meaning of the exchange

. I
1 that occurred between Applicant's counsel and Staff counsel at 2
that time. Applicant concurs completely in the explanations 3;. provided by Staff. Applicant understood the discovery precisely ,
4, as it has been described by Staff and does not understand how ,
i 5[,itcouldbeinterpretedotherwisebyIntervenorandtheBoard. {
> .' i 6: I
!l l The exchange that took place between Applicant's ,
7ld i 8 g counsel and Staff counsel actually confirms the intended effect il I 9j of the schedule as explained by Staff. Any contrary 10l. interpretation of this exchange, particularly that offered by 11 ! Intervenor, can be seen to be illogicial and mistaken.
i I
12 l
13 In the exchange, Applicant's counsel. asked whether all .
I 14 summary disposition motions were to be filed by the July 30 date 15 or whether instea'd Applicant was to file its motions beginning*
. I 16 no earlier than July 30 and for some indefinite period beyond 17 that dat'e (but, of course, forty-five days prior to the hearing
- 18 date). Staff counsel's response was ". . .(yes, by) thirty days ,
i 19 after. . .", the phrase Applicant's counsel had used. Staff 20 counsel specifically did not use, and tihereby clearly rejected, 21 Applicant counsel's phrase ". . . wait at~1 east thirty days."
22 Staff counsel then continued by explaining that the July 30 date ,
l 23 gives Applicant (and Staff) sufficient tiIde to examine answers to 24 interrogatories in considering its summary disposition motions 25 q and hence there was. no need to extend the period beyond the 26 July 30 date. I 27 i!
28i Applicant has recognized the Commission's rules of n !
/ 2 i l
l l
1 practics which requira that cummary disposition motions ba filcd ,
2f at least forty-five days prior to the start of the hearing.
3 i However, since a hearing date has not been established and could ,
4; not have been established at the time of the special prehearing H
5 i conference in Febraary, Applicant is faced with the fact that t
6ll without guidance from the Board it is forced to proceed under e
i 7 h the severe disadvantage of not knowing ' the last date acceptable i n
8 for the filing of summary disposition motions. Staff counsel's 9 proposal to establish this last date was completely reasonable 10 and perfectly clear to the Applicant. Applicant certainly 11 would not agree and was not agreeing .to any schedule that would i
12 l require all summary disposition motions to be filed on a single l 13 day. Such a severe conctraint would,'as Applicant understands ,
}
14 it, violate both Commission policy and Commission procedure on i
15 the conduct of' licensing-proceedings.
~
Intervenor's strained interpretation of Staff counsel's ;
18 proposal would have the effect of prohibiting summar'y disposition l
19 motions until after discovery was schedule,d to conclude. This i 20 result would seriously undermine the purpose of the summary 21 disposition rule and would run counter to the general federal l legal practice and the clear and often expressed Commission 22 ;
I 23- policy of encouraging the use of the rule to expedite proceedings.:
24 Once an Applicant is made to bear the annoyance, inconvenience 25 and expense of full discovery on a particular issue much of the 26 incentive for moving for summary disposition of that issue is 27 lost. An examination of the Commission rule and the analogous 28 l federal rule -(Rule 56) shows clearly that this is not the intent. i I

30' Intervenor suffers no harm if the Board agrees to 1 l
4 reconsider its April 30, 1981 Order, declares that Staff's i l
- 5 summary disposition motion is timely and gives Intervenor twenty i 6 (20) days in which to answer the motion.
7!
i 8} Had the parties at the prehearing conference been j 9 ailent about summary disposition motions, Staff's summary 10 disposition' motion would clearly have been timely and Intervenor's 11l time within which to respond would have expired by now under the i l'
12L general rule of 10 C.F.R. 52.749 (a). .As it is,'Intervenor will i
- 13 have gained at least an extra. month to frame it's response even if 14 '
Staff's request for a clarifying order is granted forthwith.

15 -
10 The sole basis for Intervenor's motion to strike is 17 its mistaken assertion that the parties had " stipulated" to the 18 July 30 date as the sole or first date for summary disposition i
19 motions. The Board has expressly relied on this " stipulation" as the basis for its ruling. Staff and Applicant have shown that 21
. such an interpretation is illogical, mistaken and counter to 22 !
. expressed Commission policy. But, in any case, the statements ;
23 i dof Staff counsel and Applicant's counsel, whose conversation it 24 1 i; j is that Intervenor purports to rely upon, are decisive on the l 25f jquestionwhethertherewassucha" stipulation"alongthelines 26h q suggested by the Intervenor. Clearly, there was not. Neither -
27] the Staff nor the Applicant would ever agree to such a stipulation 28 jfor the obvious reasons discussed above.

- 1 11] law and Commission practice Intervenor is not entitled to any {
constraint on the summary disposition process except as appears 12l .
i 13 in the rules of the Commission. The. Staff and Applicant only 14 have been inconvenienced by the instant action since each has t

- i 20 For the geasons above and, in particular, for the 21 reasons contained in the "NRC Staff Motion for Reconsideration" 22l with which Applicant concurs completely, the Applicant urges
. 23 the Board to reverse its April 30, 1981 Order and to issue a f 24j clarifying order stating that summary disposition motions may 1
25; be filed at any time up to and including July 30, 1981 or, in i:
26'- at any time permitted by 10 C.F.R. 52.749 (a).
