t MAR 131981 Mr. D. C. Lutken, President Mississippi Power & Light Company Electric B1dg Jackson, Mississippi 39205
Dear Mr. Lutken:
A recent study of the additional time needed to complete the operating license hearing process indicates that a number of plants have the potential for being ready to load fuel from a construction standpoint before the NRC decision on issuance of an operating license is reached.
In order to eliminate or minimize the impact of the licensing and hearing process on current operating license applications, revised NRC staff Safety Evaluation Report (SEA) and Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report (SSER) dates have been established to be used in work load scheduling by the NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR). A list of plants showing our current schedules for technical input to the NRR Division of Licensing (DL) for SER and SSERs is enclosed (Enclosure 1).
I am also enclosing a more com-prehensive schedule showing the relationship of these schedules to other important dates in the licensing process (Enclosure 2).
In general, the changes from previous schedules accelerate the due date for all technical input in order to allow time for a more extended hearing process. The Commission currently is examining the details of the hearing process seeking ways to eliminate unnecessary delays without jeopardizing any legitimate interests of the parties affected or the public health and safety. This examination is not yet complete.
In order for the NRR technical staff to meet these accelerated schedules, all infomation concerning your application identified as needed by the NRR staff must be provided by you or your contractors at least two weeks prior to the date indicated for staff technical input to DL.
However, for SER's scheduled to be issued after June 1981, applicants should provide Equipment Qualification (EQ) infomation in accordance with IE Bulletin 79-OlB at least four months prior to the SER issuance date. This request for EQ infomation amends the previous guidance provided in a letter from R. Tedesco, Assistant Director for Licensing dated November 25, 1980. Your personal attention and commitment is needed to make these accelerated schedules possible.
I also request that you arrange to have people, who can represent you and who can resolve any last minute open items, in residence near NRR headquarters in Bethesda during the two weeks immediately preceding the scheduled technical l
input deadlines. Your staff is requested to contact the Licensing Project l
Manager for specific needs related to the review of your application.

Mr. D. C. Lutken, President Of course, if infortution concerning your application is not available when needed, the NRC staff will be unable to avoid changing your plant's priority consistent with other scheduled work. Working under the very tight schedule indicated means that a slip will affect not or.ly your SER issuance date but will also delay other scheduled dates in the licensing and hearing process related to y'aur plant, including the decision date.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
I will keep you advised of additional information concerning this request and of any further schedule revisions.
Si ncerely, orienst IIsad W H. R. Dentse Harold R. Denton, Direc'.or Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
