1) Docket No.

50-367 (Construction Permit

, Extension)

Dear Steve:

At the Bailly prehearing conference on March 13, 1980, you indicated that you expected the Staff to complete its evaluation of the NIPSCO's construction permit amendment request, including its position on whether an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required, in June, 1980. In a pleading. filed on September 9, 1980, you stated that the Staff would make its EIS determination in early October.

On October 30, 1980, by letter to the Licensing Board, I you advised that the Staff would prepare an " environmental l impact appraisal," and stated that such appraisal would -

i be completed by January 15, 1981. In a letter to the Board I

dated January 16, 1981, you stated that the Staff had decided to retain a consultant, but no contract for the consultant had been made.

As you know, the Staff EIS position is directly re-lated to our NEPA contentions, on which the Board has not yet ruled. In view of the long delay in the Staff's formulation of its position, together with'the fact that the Staff has known for at least two years that it would have to comply with NEPA with regard to NIPSCO's requested amendment, it seems reasonable to request of you a status report on the Staff evaluation, and a commitment to a_date S 9
