Power (CCANP) filed a document entitled " Motion For Clarification Of Commission's September 22, 1980 Order And Suggestion of Directed Certification Under 10 C.F.R. Sections ?. 718 (i) and 2.786." That filing is essentially a request for Commission review of ALAB-637 wherein the Appeal Board refused to undertake interlocutory review of ASLB prehearing rulings regarding the scheduling of a hearing and the delineation of the issues under i

consideration in the hearing. Houston Lighting & Power Co.

l (South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2), ALAB-637, 12 NRC (April 16, 1981).

Almost contemporaneously with CCANP's request for review, on May 12, 1981,the Commission issued an Order declining i

to undertake sua sponte review of ALAB-637. In its Order the Commission stated:

S'/

8105280.20

, g

+ Under 10 C.F.R. S 2.786 (b) (i) , rulings on directed certification questions are not appeal-able to the Commission. Thus, no petition for revi2w is permitted to be filed in this case, . . .

(Commission Order at p.2, n.2). In light of the above, CCAND's request has been mooted and the Applicants therefore will not file a substantive response, unless requested by the Commission.

Respectfully submitted, A

A hack R. Newman Attorney for HOUSTON LIGHTING & POWER COMPANY, Project Manager of the South Texas Project, acting herein on behalf of itself and the other Applicant's, CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, acting by and through the City Public Service Board of the City of San Antonio, CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY AND CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS OF COUNSEL:
