2.

Pursuant to the Licensing Board's Order of May 15, 1981, the time in which the Staff may file its response to petitioner Donelson's con-tentions expires on June 29, 1981.

3.

By letter of June 11, 1981, Westinghouse Electric Corporation

(" Applicant") advised the Licensing Board and the parties that it "has decided to defer indefinitely its plans to construct a nuclear fuel fabri-cation facility in Prattville, Alabama," and that it had submitted to the Commission a request for the " withdrawal of its application for the special nuclear material license relating to the proposed (acility." The Applicant indicated its belief that no "further p.%cedures are required before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board in connection with the application."

4.

The Staff understands that the Applicant has determined that it will not pursue its app'ication in this proceeding, and that the Applicant intends to file a riotion to dismiss the proceeding at such time as its request to withdraw its application has been granted.

5.

The Staff believes that a response to petitioner Donelson's contentions is not required to be filed, inasmuch as that those contentions appear to have been mooted by the Applicant's having filed its request to withdraw its application. Accordingly, in the interest of conservin5 Staff resources, the Staff believes that a response to those contentions should not be required to be filed at this time.

In the event that this proceeding is not later dismissd, however, the Staff will undertake to file responses to any outstanding pleadings as then appears necessary and proper.

6.

Counsel for the Staff has been in contact with petitioner Donelson and Counsel for the Applicant, and is authorized to state that neither of those parties objects to the granting of this motion.

s.

WHEREFORE, pursuant to 10 CFR li 2.711 and 2.730, the Staff hereby moves for an indefinite deferral of the time in which to file its response to the contentions filed by petitioner Cathalynn Donelson.

Respectfully submitted, l
