.,, ... l Mr. Donnie H. Grimsley Page 2 October 13,1989 (BG&E) BC&E requested an increase in its fuel rate which includes the cost of replacement power necessitated by outages at Calvert Cliffs. Pursuant to Section 54F(f)(4) of the Maryland Annotated Cod:, article 78, BG&E must demonstrate that it has maintained the productive .

power of its generating plants at a reasonable level if it is to be permitted to collect replacement

,ower costs from its ratepayers. The information requested by the People's Counsel will assist F

?cople's Counsel in determming whether BG&E operated prudently with respect to the aerformance orihe Calvert Cliffs unit. The information requested is not for commercial.

Lnterest, but will be used to represent the interest of the general public in Maryland. . .,

I hope this information explains why it would be appropriate to waive the fees associated with People's Counsel's request. If the NRC decides not to waive the fees, however, People's t

Counsel will pay the necessary amount.

If you need any funher information, please contact me. Thank you.

Very truly yours, Kirsten A. But ger E Assistant Peop:c's Counsel KAB/mem -
